12
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
13
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
14
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
15
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
16
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
18
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
19
server. (Marius Kruger)
25
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
26
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
27
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
28
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
30
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
31
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
34
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
35
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
38
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
41
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
43
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
44
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
46
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
47
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
49
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
50
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
51
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
52
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
53
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
54
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
55
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
56
operations. (Robert Collins)
58
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
62
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
63
repository now preserves the repository format.
64
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
66
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
67
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
69
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
72
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
74
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
76
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
79
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
80
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
81
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
83
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
84
is in a different repository than the current one.
85
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
87
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
88
(David Futcher, #242106)
92
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
96
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
97
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
98
to use. (Robert Collins)
100
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
101
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
102
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
106
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
107
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
108
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
110
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
111
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
114
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
115
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
117
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
122
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
123
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
125
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
126
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
127
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
129
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
130
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
132
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
133
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
135
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
136
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
142
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
143
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
144
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
145
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
146
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
147
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
151
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
152
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
153
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
156
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
157
---------------------
159
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
160
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
161
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
162
connect to the stacked-on location.
166
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
167
repository now preserves the repository format.
168
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
170
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
171
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
173
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
176
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
180
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
181
---------------------
183
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
184
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
185
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
186
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
187
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
188
it in a future repository format.
193
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
196
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
197
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
198
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
200
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
201
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
202
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
206
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
207
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
209
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
213
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
214
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
217
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
218
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
220
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
221
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
224
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
225
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
226
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
229
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
230
(Martin Pool, #261315)
232
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
233
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
234
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
235
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
238
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
239
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
240
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
241
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
242
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
243
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
244
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
245
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
246
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
247
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
251
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
252
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
254
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
255
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
256
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
258
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
259
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
260
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
262
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
263
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
264
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
265
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
266
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
267
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
269
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
270
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
272
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
273
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
275
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
276
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
277
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
278
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
279
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
280
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
282
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
283
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
285
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
286
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
288
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
289
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
290
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
291
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
293
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
294
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
296
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
297
assuming the host name is ascii.
298
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
300
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
301
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
305
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
309
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
311
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
312
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
313
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
316
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
317
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
319
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
320
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
322
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
323
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
327
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
328
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
329
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
330
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
332
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
336
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
337
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
338
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
340
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
345
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
346
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
349
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
350
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
351
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
352
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
353
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
355
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
356
is unknown in both source and target.
357
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
359
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
360
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
361
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
362
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
364
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
365
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
366
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
367
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
373
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
374
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
375
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
378
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
379
-----------------------
383
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
384
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
385
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
386
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
389
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
390
-----------------------
392
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
393
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
394
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
395
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
396
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
397
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
398
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
399
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
400
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
401
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
402
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
403
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
407
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
408
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
409
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
410
start of the string (causing more copies).
411
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
412
especially for projects with large files.
415
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
416
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
417
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
418
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
419
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
421
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
422
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
423
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
424
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
425
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
426
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
432
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
433
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
434
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
435
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
436
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
437
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
438
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
439
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
440
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
443
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
444
---------------------
448
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
449
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
450
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
451
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
452
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
455
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
456
---------------------
460
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
461
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
462
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
465
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
466
---------------------
470
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
471
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
476
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
477
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
478
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
483
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
484
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
485
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
487
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
488
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
489
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
490
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
491
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
492
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
493
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
496
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
497
---------------------
499
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
504
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
505
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
507
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
508
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
511
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
512
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
513
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
514
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
515
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
517
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
518
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
520
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
521
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
523
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
524
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
526
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
527
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
528
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
529
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
530
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
531
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
534
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
535
---------------------
537
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
538
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
539
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
540
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
541
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
545
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
546
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
547
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
551
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
552
check. (Daniel Watkins)
554
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
555
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
557
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
558
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
559
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
561
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
564
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
565
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
566
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
567
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
568
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
569
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
570
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
572
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
573
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
574
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
578
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
579
physical repository boundaries.
580
(Martin Pool, #252428)
582
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
583
(Martin Pool, #206258)
585
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
586
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
589
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
592
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
593
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
594
that Python is running from.
595
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
597
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
598
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
599
(Robert Collins, #150438)
601
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
602
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
604
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
605
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
606
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
608
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
609
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
611
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
612
(James Westby, #248448)
616
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
617
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
618
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
621
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
622
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
625
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
626
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
627
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
628
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
629
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
630
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
633
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
634
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
636
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
637
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
638
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
639
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
640
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
641
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
645
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
646
putting together a real history without having to create a full
647
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
648
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
649
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
650
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
652
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
653
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
654
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
656
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
659
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
660
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
662
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
666
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
667
-----------------------
669
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
670
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
671
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
672
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
677
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
678
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
679
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
681
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
682
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
683
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
684
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
685
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
688
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
690
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
691
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
692
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
697
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
698
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
701
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
702
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
703
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
704
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
706
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
707
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
708
(Christophe Troestler)
710
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
711
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
713
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
714
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
715
faster. The new request method name is
716
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
720
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
721
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
722
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
723
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
724
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
726
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
727
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
729
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
730
requires a branch to be present.
731
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
733
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
735
(Martin Pool, #205230)
737
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
738
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
739
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
740
(Martin Pool, #240161)
742
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
743
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
745
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
747
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
749
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
750
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
751
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
752
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
753
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
755
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
756
(Martin Pool, #172870)
758
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
759
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
761
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
763
(Matt McClure, #209281)
765
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
766
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
768
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
769
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
773
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
776
* Updated developer documentation.
781
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
782
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
784
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
785
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
786
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
787
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
791
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
792
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
793
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
794
Repository docstring for more details.
797
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
798
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
799
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
801
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
802
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
805
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
806
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
807
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
808
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
812
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
813
(Alexander Belchenko)
815
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
816
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
817
containing a given location.
820
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
821
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
822
storage. (Robert Collins)
824
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
827
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
828
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
832
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
833
-----------------------
835
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
836
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
837
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
842
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
843
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
844
reading from the repository.)
845
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
847
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
848
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
850
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
851
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
854
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
855
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
856
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
858
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
859
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
860
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
862
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
863
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
865
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
866
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
867
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
868
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
872
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
874
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
875
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
876
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
879
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
880
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
884
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
888
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
889
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
893
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
894
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
895
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
896
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
897
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
899
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
900
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
904
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
905
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
907
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
908
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
911
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
912
-----------------------
915
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
916
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
917
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
918
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
919
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
920
and future extensions.
923
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
925
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
926
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
927
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
928
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
929
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
930
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
931
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
932
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
936
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
937
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
942
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
947
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
948
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
949
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
950
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
952
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
953
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
954
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
956
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
957
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
959
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
960
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
961
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
963
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
964
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
965
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
966
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
967
step closer to not using full revision history.
968
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
972
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
973
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
975
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
976
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
978
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
979
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
981
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
982
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
983
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
984
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
986
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
987
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
988
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
989
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
991
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
992
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
993
in use by another process.
996
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
997
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
998
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
999
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1001
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1002
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1004
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1005
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1008
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1009
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1010
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1012
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1014
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1016
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1017
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1019
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1020
under vim on Mac OS X.
1021
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1023
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1024
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1028
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1029
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1031
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1032
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1035
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1036
and about use of Python reprs.
1037
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1039
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1043
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1046
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1047
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1049
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1050
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1054
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1055
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1056
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1057
(John Arbash Meinel)
1061
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1062
instead. (Martin Pool)
1064
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1065
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1066
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1067
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1069
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1070
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1071
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1072
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1073
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1075
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1076
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1077
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1078
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1079
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1080
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1082
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1083
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1086
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1087
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1090
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1091
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1092
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1093
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1095
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1096
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1097
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1099
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1100
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1101
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1102
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1103
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1106
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1107
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1108
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1109
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1112
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1113
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1114
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1115
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1116
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1118
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1125
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1126
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1127
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1131
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1132
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1133
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1137
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1138
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1142
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
1143
---------------------
1145
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1149
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1150
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1151
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1152
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1158
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1159
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1161
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1162
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1164
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1169
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1170
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1172
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1173
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1175
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1176
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1177
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1179
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1180
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1181
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1183
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1186
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1187
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1189
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1190
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1192
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1193
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1195
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1196
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1198
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1199
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1200
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1202
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1203
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1205
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1206
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1208
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1209
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1210
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1211
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1213
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1214
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1217
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1218
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1219
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1221
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1222
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1223
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1224
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1225
every revision each side had in common.
1226
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1228
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1229
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1231
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1232
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1233
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1234
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1238
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1239
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1240
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1241
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1243
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1245
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1247
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1252
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1253
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1254
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1256
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1257
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1258
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1259
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1261
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1262
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1264
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1265
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1266
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1267
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1269
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1270
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1271
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1272
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1276
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1277
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1278
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1280
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1282
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1283
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1285
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1286
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1288
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1289
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1293
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1294
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1295
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1297
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1298
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1299
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1302
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1303
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1306
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
1313
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1314
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1315
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1316
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1317
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1318
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1319
and faster performance.
1323
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1324
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1325
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
1329
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1330
---------------------
1334
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1335
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1336
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1338
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1339
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1341
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1342
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1344
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1345
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1346
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1347
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1348
every revision each side had in common.
1349
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1352
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
1353
---------------------
1357
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1359
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1360
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1362
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1363
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1364
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1366
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1367
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1368
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1369
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1370
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1371
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1374
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1375
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1376
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1377
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1381
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1383
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1384
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1385
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1387
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1388
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1389
See the User Reference for signature details.
1390
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1392
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1393
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1397
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1398
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1399
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1400
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1402
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1403
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1405
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1406
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1407
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1410
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1413
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1414
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1415
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1417
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1420
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1421
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1423
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1424
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1426
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1427
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1428
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1430
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1431
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1432
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1433
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1434
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1436
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1437
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1439
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1440
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1444
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1445
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1446
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1447
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1448
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1449
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1451
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1452
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1454
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1455
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1456
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1458
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1459
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1461
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1462
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1463
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1464
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1466
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1467
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1468
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1469
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1470
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1472
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1474
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1475
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1477
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1479
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1480
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1482
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1483
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1487
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1489
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1491
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1493
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1497
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1498
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1499
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1501
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1502
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1503
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1504
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1506
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1507
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1508
release. (James Westby)
1510
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1513
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1515
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1516
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1518
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1519
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1521
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1522
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1524
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1525
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1526
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1528
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1529
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1530
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1531
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1533
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1534
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1535
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1536
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1538
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1539
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1540
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1541
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1542
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1543
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1545
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1546
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1547
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1549
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1550
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1552
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1553
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1556
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1557
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1559
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1560
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1562
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1563
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1565
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1566
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1567
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1569
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1570
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1571
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1572
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1573
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1574
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1578
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1579
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1580
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1581
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1583
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1584
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1585
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1586
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1590
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1591
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1594
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1595
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1597
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1599
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1600
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1601
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1605
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1607
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1610
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1611
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1612
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1613
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1614
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1615
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1617
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1618
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1620
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1621
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1622
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1623
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1625
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1626
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1628
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1629
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1652
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1654
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1655
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1656
features have been added.

(#202778, Martin Pool)
1665
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
1666
---------------------
1668
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1670
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1671
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1675
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1676
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1677
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1678
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1681
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1682
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1683
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1684
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1685
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1686
(Alexander Belchenko)
1688
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1689
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1690
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1691
(Alexander Belchenko)
1693
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1695
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1696
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1700
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1701
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1703
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1704
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1709
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1711
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1713
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1714
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1715
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1717
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1718
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1720
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1721
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1723
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1724
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1725
(Alexander Belchenko)
1727
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1728
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1729
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1730
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1732
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1735
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1736
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1737
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1738
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1739
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1743
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1744
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1745
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1746
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1748
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1749
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1751
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1755
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1756
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1758
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1759
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1761
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1764
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1765
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1767
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1769
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1771
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1772
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1774
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1775
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1777
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1778
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1780
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1781
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1783
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1784
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1786
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1787
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1791
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1792
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1796
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1797
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1798
(Alexander Belchenko)
1802
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1804
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1805
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1810
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1811
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1812
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1814
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1815
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1816
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1817
(Alexander Belchenko)
1819
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1820
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1821
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1822
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1824
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1825
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1826
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1829
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1830
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1831
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1833
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1834
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1835
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1837
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1838
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1839
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1840
format. (Robert Collins)
1848
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1851
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1852
---------------------
1854
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1856
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1857
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1858
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1859
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1860
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1865
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1866
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1868
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1869
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1870
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1872
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1873
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1874
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1875
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1876
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1877
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1882
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1883
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1885
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1886
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1887
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1890
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1891
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1892
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1893
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1894
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1896
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1897
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1898
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1899
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1900
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1901
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1902
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1903
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1907
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1908
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1910
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1911
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1913
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1914
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1916
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1917
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1918
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1920
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1921
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1922
(John Arbash Meinel)
1926
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1927
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1929
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1930
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1932
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1933
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1935
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1936
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1937
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1939
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1940
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1941
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1943
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1944
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1946
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1947
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1948
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1949
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1950
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1952
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1954
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1955
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1958
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1959
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1961
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1962
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1964
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1965
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1967
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1968
more characters which should be considered valid.
1969
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1971
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1972
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1974
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1975
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1979
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1980
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1982
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1983
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1988
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1989
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1994
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1995
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1996
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1998
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1999
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2000
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2002
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2003
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2004
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2005
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2007
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2009
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2010
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2011
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2012
server. (Robert Collins)
2014
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2015
operate. (Robert Collins)
2017
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2018
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2019
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2021
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2022
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2023
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2024
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2026
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2027
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2029
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2030
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2031
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2033
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2034
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2036
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2037
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2039
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2040
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2041
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2042
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2048
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2050
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2051
---------------------
2055
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2056
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2057
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2058
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2060
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2061
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2062
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2063
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2067
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2070
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2073
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2074
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2078
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2081
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2082
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2083
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2085
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2087
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2088
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2089
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2090
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2091
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2093
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2094
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2095
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2097
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2098
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2100
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2103
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2105
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2107
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2110
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2111
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2115
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2116
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2118
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2121
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2124
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2125
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2127
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2128
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2130
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2131
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2133
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2134
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2136
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2137
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2138
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2140
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2143
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2144
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2147
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2149
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2150
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2151
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2153
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2154
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2156
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2159
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2162
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2163
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2165
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2168
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2169
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2172
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2173
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2174
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2178
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2181
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2182
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2183
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2184
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2185
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2186
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2188
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2192
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2195
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2196
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2198
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2200
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2201
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2202
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2205
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2206
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2208
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2215
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2216
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2217
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2219
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2220
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2223
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2224
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2226
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2227
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2229
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2230
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2232
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2233
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2234
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2236
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2237
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2239
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2240
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2242
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2243
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2246
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2247
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2249
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2250
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
2258
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2260
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
2263
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
2265
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
2266
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
2270
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
2271
---------------------
2275
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
2276
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2277
by mail to the mailing list.
2282
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2284
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2285
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2286
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2287
feedback but also incur more latency.
2288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2290
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2291
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2295
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2297
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
2302
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2303
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2304
wraps its output in a StringIO.
2308
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
2309
---------------------
2313
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2315
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2318
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2321
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2322
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2323
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2324
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2326
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2329
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2330
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2332
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2333
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2334
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2336
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2337
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2338
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2339
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2340
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2341
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2342
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2343
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2344
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2348
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2351
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2355
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2356
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2358
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2360
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2362
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2363
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2365
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2367
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2368
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2370
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2371
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2375
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2376
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2380
---------------------
2382
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2384
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2385
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2386
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2387
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2389
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2390
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2392
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2393
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2395
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2396
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2397
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2398
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2399
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2400
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2401
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2402
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2403
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2404
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2405
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2406
from any tree without problems.
2407
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2411
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2412
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2413
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2415
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2416
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2417
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2422
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2423
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2424
supported transports.
2427
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2428
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2429
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2431
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2432
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2434
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2435
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2436
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2437
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2439
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2440
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2444
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2445
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2446
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2447
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2449
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2450
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2451
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2452
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2454
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2455
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2457
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2458
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2460
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2461
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2463
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2464
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2469
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2472
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2473
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2476
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2477
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2478
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2479
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2481
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2482
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2483
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2484
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
2490
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2491
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2493
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2494
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2496
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2497
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2499
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2502
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2503
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2505
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2506
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2508
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2511
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2514
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2515
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2517
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2518
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2519
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2521
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2522
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2524
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2525
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2527
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2528
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2530
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2531
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2533
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2534
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2535
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2536
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2538
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2540
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2541
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2542
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2544
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2545
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2547
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2549
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2551
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2552
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2554
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2555
specify a port in urls.
2556
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2558
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2559
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2561
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2562
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2564
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2565
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2567
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2568
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2570
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2571
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2572
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2574
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2576
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2577
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2579
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2582
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2583
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2585
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2586
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2588
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2589
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2590
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2592
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2593
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2595
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2596
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2597
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2598
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2600
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2601
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2603
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2604
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2605
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2607
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2608
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2610
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2613
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2618
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2619
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2621
* The return value of
2622
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2623
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2624
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2625
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2627
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2630
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2631
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2637
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2638
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2639
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2642
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2643
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2645
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
2655
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
2658
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
2659
----------------------
2661
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2665
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2666
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2668
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2669
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2670
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2671
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2672
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2673
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2674
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2675
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2676
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2677
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2678
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2679
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2684
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2685
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2686
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2687
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2688
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2689
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2691
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2692
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2693
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2696
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2698
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2699
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2701
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2702
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2705
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2706
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2707
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2711
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2712
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2714
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2715
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2717
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2718
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2719
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2720
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2722
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2725
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2726
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2727
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2728
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2730
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2731
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2733
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2734
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2736
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2737
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2739
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2740
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2744
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2745
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2747
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2748
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2750
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2751
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2753
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2754
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2756
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2757
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2761
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2763
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2768
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2769
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2770
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2772
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2773
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2775
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2776
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2778
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2779
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2780
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2781
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2783
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2784
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2785
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2786
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2787
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2789
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2790
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2794
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2796
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2797
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2799
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2800
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2802
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2805
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2806
contains a symbolic link.
2807
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2809
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2810
(James Westby, #140615)
2812
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2813
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2814
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2816
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2817
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2818
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2820
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2822
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2823
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2825
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2827
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2829
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2830
directory to detect leaking tests.
2831
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2833
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2834
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2835
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2837
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2840
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2841
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2843
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2848
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2849
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2851
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2852
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2853
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2855
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2856
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2857
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2859
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2860
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2862
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2863
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2865
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2866
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2869
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2870
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2872
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2873
class that needs it.
2876
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2877
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2879
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2880
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2881
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2883
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2884
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2885
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2888
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2889
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2890
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2891
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2896
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2897
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2898
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2900
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2901
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2902
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2903
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2905
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2906
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2909
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2910
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2911
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2913
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2914
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2915
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2917
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2918
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2920
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2921
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2922
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2924
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2925
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2927
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2928
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2929
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2931
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2932
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2933
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2935
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2936
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2937
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2938
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2940
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2941
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2942
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2943
returned. (Robert Collins)
2945
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2946
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2948
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2949
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2950
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2951
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2954
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2955
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2959
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2960
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2962
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2963
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2964
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2965
makes this behavior available to other users.
2968
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2969
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2977
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2978
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2979
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2981
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2983
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2984
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2985
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2986
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2988
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2989
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2993
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2994
----------------------
2996
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2997
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3000
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3001
----------------------
3005
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3006
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3007
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3008
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3011
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3012
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3013
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3018
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3019
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3020
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3023
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3024
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3025
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3027
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3028
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3029
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3031
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3032
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3034
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3035
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3036
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3037
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3038
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3039
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3040
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3041
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3042
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3043
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3045
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3046
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3048
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3049
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3050
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3054
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3055
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3057
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3058
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3059
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3061
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3062
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3064
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3065
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3067
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3070
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3071
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3073
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3074
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3076
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3077
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3079
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3080
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3082
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3084
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3087
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3088
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3089
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3090
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3092
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3094
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3095
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3098
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3099
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3101
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3102
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3105
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3106
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3108
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3109
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3111
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3112
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3113
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3114
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3115
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3116
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3117
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3119
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3120
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3122
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3123
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3125
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3126
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3128
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3129
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3131
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3133
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3135
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3136
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3138
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3139
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3140
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3142
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3143
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3144
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3148
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3149
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3151
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3154
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3157
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3158
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3160
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3162
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3163
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3165
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3166
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3168
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3169
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3170
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3171
space). (Robert Collins)
3173
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3174
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3177
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3178
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3180
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3181
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3183
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3184
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3185
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3186
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3188
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3189
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3190
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3193
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3196
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3197
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3198
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3200
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3201
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3202
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3203
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3204
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3208
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3209
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3211
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3212
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3213
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3214
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3215
affected. (Robert Collins)
3217
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3218
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3219
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3222
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3223
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3227
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3228
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3230
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3231
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3233
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3234
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3236
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3239
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3240
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3244
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3245
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3246
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3247
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3249
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3250
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3252
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3253
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3254
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3255
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3257
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3258
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3259
present. (Robert Collins)
3261
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3262
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3263
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3264
API. (Robert Collins)
3266
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3267
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3270
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3271
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3273
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3274
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3275
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3276
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3277
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3278
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3280
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3281
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3282
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3284
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3285
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3286
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3287
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3290
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3293
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3294
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3295
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3296
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3297
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3298
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3299
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3301
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3302
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3303
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3304
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3306
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3307
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3308
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3309
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3310
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3311
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3313
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3314
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3315
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3317
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3318
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3326
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3327
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3328
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3329
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3330
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3331
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3332
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3333
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3338
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3339
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3340
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3343
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3344
----------------------
3348
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3349
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3350
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3351
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3352
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3354
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3355
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3357
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3359
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3361
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3362
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3365
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3366
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3369
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3372
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3373
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3375
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3376
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3378
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3379
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3381
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3382
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3384
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3385
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3387
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3392
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3393
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3395
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3396
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3398
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3399
the repository (Robert Collins)
3401
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3402
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3403
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3404
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3405
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3407
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3408
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3410
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3411
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3412
(John Arbash Meinel)
3414
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3415
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3416
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3418
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3419
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3420
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3421
(John Arbash Meinel)
3423
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3424
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3427
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3428
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3430
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3433
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3435
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3437
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3438
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3440
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3441
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3444
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3445
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3446
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3447
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3449
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3450
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3451
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3453
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3454
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3455
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3457
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3458
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3460
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3461
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3462
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3463
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3464
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3465
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3468
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3469
(Alexander Belchenko)
3471
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3472
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3474
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3475
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3477
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3479
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3480
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3484
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3485
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3486
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3487
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3489
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3491
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3494
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3495
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3496
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3497
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3498
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3499
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3503
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3504
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3505
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3506
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3508
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3509
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3510
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3511
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3512
tests have been refactored too.
3515
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3516
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3517
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3521
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3522
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3523
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3525
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3526
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3527
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3528
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3529
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3530
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3531
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3533
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3534
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3535
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3536
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3537
(John Arbash Meinel)
3539
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3540
functionality for testing.
3542
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3544
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3545
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3547
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3549
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3552
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3553
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3555
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3556
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3557
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3559
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3562
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3563
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3565
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3566
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3567
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3568
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3570
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3571
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3573
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3574
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3575
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3577
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3580
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3581
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3582
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3583
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3584
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3585
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3587
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3588
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3589
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3590
many files. (Robert Collins)
3592
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3593
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3594
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3595
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3599
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3600
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3601
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3603
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3604
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3606
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3607
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3608
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3612
--------------------
3616
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
3619
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
3620
-----------------------
3624
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3625
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3627
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3628
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3629
(James Westby, #122656)
3631
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3632
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3634
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3635
authentication header.
3636
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3638
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3640
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3641
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3643
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3645
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3648
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3649
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3652
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3653
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3654
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3656
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3657
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3659
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3660
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3662
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3663
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3665
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3667
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3671
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3672
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3673
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3674
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3675
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3676
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3678
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3679
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3680
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3682
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3685
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3686
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3688
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3689
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3691
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3692
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3694
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3695
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3696
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3697
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3698
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3700
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3701
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3703
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3704
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3705
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3707
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3708
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3710
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3712
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3713
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3715
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3716
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3719
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3722
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3723
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3725
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3726
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3728
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3729
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3731
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3733
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3734
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3736
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3741
* Testing cleanups -
3742
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3743
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3744
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3745
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3746
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3747
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3748
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3749
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3750
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3751
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3752
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3753
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3754
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3755
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3756
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3757
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3758
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3761
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3763
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3764
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3765
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3767
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3768
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3770
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3771
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3773
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3775
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3776
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3777
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3778
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3779
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3780
same location. (Robert Collins)
3784
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3786
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3788
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3790
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3793
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3796
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3797
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3798
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3800
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3802
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3803
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3804
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3806
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3807
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3809
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3810
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3811
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3813
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3814
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3815
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3817
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3818
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3819
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3821
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3822
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3825
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3826
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3828
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3829
(Alexander Belchenko)
3833
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3834
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3835
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3836
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3838
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3839
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3840
testing. (Robert Collins)
3842
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3843
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3845
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3846
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3847
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3848
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3849
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3850
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3851
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3853
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3854
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3855
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3856
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3858
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3859
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3861
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3862
avoid useless cloning.
3863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
3867
--------------------
3871
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
3872
(Colin Watson, #120647)
3874
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
3875
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
3879
-----------------------
3881
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3883
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3884
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3885
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3886
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3887
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3888
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3889
and unlock() like so::
3891
work_tree.lock_read()
3893
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3898
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3899
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3901
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3902
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3903
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3905
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3906
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3907
too. (Robert Collins)
3911
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3912
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3915
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3916
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3918
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3919
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3921
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3922
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3923
understanding what changes have occurred
3924
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3926
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3927
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3928
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3930
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3931
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3932
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3933
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3935
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3940
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3941
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3942
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3943
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3944
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3946
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3947
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3948
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3950
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3953
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3957
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3958
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3960
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3961
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3963
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3964
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3966
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3967
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3969
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3970
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3972
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3973
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3974
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
3977
--------------------
3981
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3982
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3983
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3984
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3985
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3987
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3988
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3989
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3991
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3992
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3996
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3997
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3998
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4000
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4001
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4002
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4003
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4005
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4006
-----------------------
4010
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4011
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4012
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4013
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4015
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4016
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4017
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4019
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4020
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4022
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4023
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4025
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4026
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4028
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4029
-----------------------
4031
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4033
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4034
it could be recovered again.
4035
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4036
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4037
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4039
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4041
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4042
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4046
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4047
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4049
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4050
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4051
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4052
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4054
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4055
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4057
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4058
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4059
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4061
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4062
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4063
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4065
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4066
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4067
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4069
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4070
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4073
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4076
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4077
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4078
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4079
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4081
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4084
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4085
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4086
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4089
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4090
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4092
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4093
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4095
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4096
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4097
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4098
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4101
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4102
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4104
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4105
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4107
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4108
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4109
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4111
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4112
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4113
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4115
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4116
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4117
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4119
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4120
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4121
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4122
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4124
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4125
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4126
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4127
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4129
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4130
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4131
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4132
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4133
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4134
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4135
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4136
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4142
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4143
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4145
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4146
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4147
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4148
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4149
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4151
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4152
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4154
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4155
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4157
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4158
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4160
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4161
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4163
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4164
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4165
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4168
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4169
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4170
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4171
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4172
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4175
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4176
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4177
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4179
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4180
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4183
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4184
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4185
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4188
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4189
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4190
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4191
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4192
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4194
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4195
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4196
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4197
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4199
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4200
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4202
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4203
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4204
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4205
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4206
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4207
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4209
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4210
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4212
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4213
help. (Robert Collins)
4215
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4216
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4218
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4219
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4220
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4221
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4222
(John Arbash Meinel)
4224
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4225
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4226
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4227
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4228
useful. (Robert Collins)
4230
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4235
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4236
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4238
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4239
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4241
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4242
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4243
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4245
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4248
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4249
the file, and does it faster.
4250
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4252
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4253
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4254
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4256
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4257
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4258
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4259
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4261
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4262
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4263
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4264
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4266
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4267
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4269
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4270
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4271
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4272
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4275
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4277
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4278
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4280
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4281
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4283
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4284
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4285
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4286
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4290
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4295
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4296
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4297
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4299
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4300
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4302
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4303
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4304
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4305
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4306
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4307
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4308
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4309
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4311
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4312
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4313
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4315
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4316
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4317
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4318
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4319
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4321
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4323
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4324
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4325
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4327
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4328
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
4336
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
4339
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4340
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
4343
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4344
-----------------------
4348
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4349
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4354
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4355
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4356
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4357
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4358
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4359
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4360
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4361
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4366
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4367
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4368
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4370
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4371
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4374
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4375
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4376
(John Arbash Meinel)
4378
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4379
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4380
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4381
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4382
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4386
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4389
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4390
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4392
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4393
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4395
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4396
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4397
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4399
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4400
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4402
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4403
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4404
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4405
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4406
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4408
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4409
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4410
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4412
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
4415
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4416
-----------------------
4418
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4420
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4421
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4422
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4426
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4427
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4429
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4430
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4432
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4434
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4435
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4437
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4438
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4442
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4447
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4448
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4449
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4450
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4452
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4453
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4455
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4456
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4458
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4461
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4462
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
4465
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4466
-----------------------
4470
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4471
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4472
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4473
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4474
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4475
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4477
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4478
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4479
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4480
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4481
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4482
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4484
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4486
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4487
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4488
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4489
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4490
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4491
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4492
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4493
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4497
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4498
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4500
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4501
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4502
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4503
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4505
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4506
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4507
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4508
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4509
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4511
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4514
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4517
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4520
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4521
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4524
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4527
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4528
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4530
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4531
directory. (Martin Pool)
4533
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4534
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4535
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4536
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4538
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4539
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4540
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4541
in docs/configuration.txt.
4543
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4544
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4547
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4548
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4549
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4550
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4551
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4552
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4554
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4555
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4557
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4558
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4560
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4565
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4566
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4567
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4568
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4569
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4570
(John Arbash Meinel)
4572
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4573
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4576
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4577
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4578
(John Arbash Meinel)
4580
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4581
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4582
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4583
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4584
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4585
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4587
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4588
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4589
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4591
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4592
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4593
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4594
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4596
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4598
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4599
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4600
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4601
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4603
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4604
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4605
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4606
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4608
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4609
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4610
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4612
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4613
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4614
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4616
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4617
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4618
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4619
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4621
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4622
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4623
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4625
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4626
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4627
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4629
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4630
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4631
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4632
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4633
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4634
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4635
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4636
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4637
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4638
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4639
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4643
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4644
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4645
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4647
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4650
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4651
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4652
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4653
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4655
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4656
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4659
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4660
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4662
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4664
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4665
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4666
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4668
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4669
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4671
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4674
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4675
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4677
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4678
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4680
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4682
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4683
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4687
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4688
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
4692
--------------------
4696
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4700
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4701
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4702
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4704
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4705
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4706
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
4709
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4710
-----------------------
4714
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4715
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4716
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4717
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4719
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4722
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4723
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4724
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4726
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4727
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4729
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4732
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4733
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4734
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4735
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4736
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4737
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4739
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4740
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4741
should enable you to do::
4743
[/home/user/project]
4744
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4745
push_location:policy = appendpath
4747
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4748
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4751
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4752
for each file. For example::
4754
$ bzr status --short
4760
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4761
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4763
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4765
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4766
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4768
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4772
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4773
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4774
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4775
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4777
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4778
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4779
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4781
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4783
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4784
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4785
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4786
(Alexander Belchenko)
4788
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4791
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4792
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4794
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4798
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4799
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4801
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4802
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4803
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4804
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4805
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4807
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4808
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4810
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4811
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4813
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4815
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4817
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4818
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4819
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4820
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4821
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4823
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4824
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4825
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4826
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4828
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4829
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4831
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4832
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4834
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4835
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4837
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
4838

No changes from 0.13rc1
4846
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
4847
-----------------------
4851
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4853
(Daniel Silverstone)
4855
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4856
operations are substantially faster.
4857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4859
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4860
tree from some other url. For example:
4861
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4862
(Daniel Silverstone)
4864
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4865
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4866
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4867
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4869
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4872
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4873
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4874
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4875
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4876
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4877
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4881
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4882
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4885
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4886
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4887
(John Arbash Meinel)
4889
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4890
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4891
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4892
(John Arbash Meinel)
4894
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4895
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4897
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4898
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4900
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4901
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4906
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4907
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4908
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4910
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4911
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4912
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4913
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4915
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4917
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4918
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4920
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4921
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4922
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4925
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4926
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4927
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4929
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4930
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4931
them as full references rather than integers.
4932
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4934
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4935
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4937
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4939
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4940
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4942
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4943
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4945
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4946
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4947
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4948
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4950
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4951
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4952
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4954
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4955
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4957
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4958
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4959
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4960
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4961
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4965
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4966
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4969
--------------------
4973
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4974
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4975
(John Arbash Meinel)
4977
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4978
-----------------------
4982
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4983
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4984
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4985
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4987
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4988
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4990
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4992
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4993
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4994
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4995
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4997
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4998
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4999
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5000
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5001
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5003
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5005
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5006
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5010
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5011
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5012
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5014
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5015
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5016
(John Arbash Meinel)
5018
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5019
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5020
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5022
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5023
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5026
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5027
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5028
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5030
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5031
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5032
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5033
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5034
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5035
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5037
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5038
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5039
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5042
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5043
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5047
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5048
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5049
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5052
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5053
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5055
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5056
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5057
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5059
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5060
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5062
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5063
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5064
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5065
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5067
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5068
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5070
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5071
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5072
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5074
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5075
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5077
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5079
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5080
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5085
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5086
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5087
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5088
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5090
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5091
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5092
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5095

-----------------------
5114
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5115
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5116
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5117
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5118
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5119
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5120
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5122
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5123
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5124
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5126
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5128
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5129
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5131
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5132
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5133
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5136
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5137
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5138
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5139
(John Arbash Meinel)
5141
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5142
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5143
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5144
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5147
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5148
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5149
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5150
(John Arbash Meinel)
5154
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5155
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5157
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5159
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5160
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5161
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5163
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5164
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5166
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5167
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5169
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5170
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5172
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5173
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5175
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5177
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5178
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5180
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5181
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5183
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5184
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5186
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5187
(John Arbash Meinel)
5189
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5190
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5191
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5193
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5194
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5196
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5197
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5198
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5199
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5201
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5202
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5203
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5205
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5206
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5210
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5214
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5215
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5216
(John Arbash Meinel)
5218
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5219
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5220
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5221
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5223
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5226
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5227
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5228
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5230
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5231
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5233
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5234
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5235
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5237
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5238
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5239
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5240
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5241
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5242
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5243
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5244
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5245
caller to repeat their request.
5246
(John Arbash Meinel)
5248
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5249
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5251
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5252
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5254
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5255
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5256
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5257
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5258
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5259
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5260
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5262
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5263
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5264
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5265
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5266
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5267
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5268
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5269
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5272
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5273
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5274
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5276
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5277
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5279
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5280
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5282
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5283
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5287
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5288
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5290
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5291
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5292
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5294
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5295
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5296
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5299
--------------------
5302
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5303
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5305
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5306
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5307
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5308
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5309
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5311
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5312
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5313
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5315
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5316
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5318
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5319
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5320
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5324
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5326
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5327
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5328
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5330
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5332
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5334
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5335
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5336
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5337
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5339
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5340
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5341
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5342
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5343
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5345
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5346
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5348
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5349
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5351
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5352
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5354
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5355
in handling of revision properties.
5356
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5358
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5359
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5363
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5364
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5365
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5366
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5367
(John Arbash Meinel)
5369
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5370
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5371
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5373
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5374
---------------------
5378
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5379
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5380
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5381
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5382
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5383
a more conservative list than the old default.
5384
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5385
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5386
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5387
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5389
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5390
to more locations than just branch locations.
5395
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5396
revno:N:branch. For example,
5397
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5398
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5400
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5401
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5402
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5403
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5404
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5405
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5406
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5407
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5410
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5411
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5412
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5415
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5416
(Alexander Belchenko)
5418
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5420
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5423
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5424
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5425
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5426
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5427
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5428
(John Arbash Meinel)
5430
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5431
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5432
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5433
grained analysis of performance.
5434
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5436
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5437
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5439
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5440
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5441
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5442
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5443
file. (Robert Collins).
5445
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5446
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5447
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5449
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5450
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5453
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5454
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5456
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5457
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5458
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5459
the same way you would apply another branch.
5460
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5462
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5463
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5465
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5468
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5471
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5472
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5473
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5475
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5476
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5477
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5479
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5480
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5482
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5483
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5484
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5485
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5486
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5488
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5489
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5491
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5492
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5493
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5494
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5495
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5496
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5497
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5498
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5500
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5501
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5502
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5506
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5508
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5510
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5511
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5513
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5514
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5516
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5517
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5519
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5521
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5522
(John Arbash Meinel)
5524
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5525
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5527
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5528
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5531
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5532
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5534
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5535
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5537
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5538
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5539
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5540
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5542
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5543
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5545
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5547
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5548
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5550
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5552
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5554
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5555
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5557
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5558
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5560
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5561
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5562
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5564
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5565
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5566
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5568
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5569
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5571
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5572
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5574
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5575
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5577
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5578
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5580
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5581
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5583
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5584
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5585
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5587
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5589
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5590
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5594
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5595
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5596
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5598
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5599
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5601
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5602
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5603
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5605
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5606
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5608
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5609
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5612
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5613
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5614
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5616
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5617
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5618
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5620
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5621
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5622
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5624
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5625
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5626
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5628
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5629
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5630
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5632
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5633
instead. (Robert Collins)
5635
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
5637
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
5638
---------------------
5642
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
5644
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
5645
---------------------
5649
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5650
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5652
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5653
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5655
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5656
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5657
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
5661
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
5663
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5664
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5666
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
5670
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5671
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5672
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5673
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5677
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5678
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5679
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5683
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5684
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5685
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5689
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5690
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5695
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5697
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5698
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5699
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5700
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5701
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5702
will keep the same format.
5704
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5705
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5706
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5707
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5708
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5710
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5711
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5712
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5713
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5714
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5715
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5716
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5718
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5719
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5720
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5721
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5722
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5724
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5725
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5726
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5732
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5733
convention. Paths now take the form::
5735
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5737
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5739
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5740
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5742
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5743
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5744
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5746
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5747
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5748
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5749
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5751
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5752
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5753
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5755
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5757
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5759
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5760
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5763
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5764
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5767
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5769
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5770
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5771
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5774
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5776
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5778
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5781
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5782
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5784
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5785
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5788
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5789
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5792
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5794
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5796
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5797
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5799
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5800
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5801
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5802
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5803
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5804
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5806
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5808
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5809
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5812
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5813
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5815
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5816
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5818
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5820
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5821
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5822
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5823
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5824
specification by Martin Pool.
5825
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5827
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5830
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5831
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5833
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5834
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5835
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5837
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5839
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5840
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5845
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5846
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5848
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5850
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5852
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5855
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5856
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5857
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5858
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5862
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5863
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5864
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5865
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5867
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5868
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5869
tried. (Martin Pool)
5871
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5874
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5876
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5877
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5878
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5880
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5881
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5883
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5884
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5885
paths. (Robert Collins)
5887
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5888
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5889
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5891
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5892
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5893
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5895
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5896
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5897
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5899
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5902
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5905
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5907
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5909
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5910
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5911
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5914
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5915
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5917
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5918
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5919
check. (Robert Collins)
5921
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5922
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5926
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5927
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5929
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5930
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5931
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5932
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5934
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5935
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5936
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5937
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5938
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5940
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5941
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5942
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5944
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5946
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5947
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5954
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5955
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5957
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5958
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5959
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5962
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5963
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5965
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5966
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5967
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5968
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5969
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5971
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5972
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5973
used. (Robert Collins)
5975
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5976
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5979
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5980
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5981
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5983
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5986
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5987
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5991
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5992
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5994
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5996
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5998
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5999
tree. (Robert Collins)
6001
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6002
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6003
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6006
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6009
* Tweaks to short log printing
6011
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6014
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6015
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6017
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6018
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6020
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6021
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6023
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6024
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6025
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6027
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6028
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6030
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6031
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6034
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6035
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6037
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6038
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6040
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6041
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6043
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6046
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6047
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6049
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6050
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6052
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6053
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6054
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6058
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6060
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6062
* Error when run with -OO
6064
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6067
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6069
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6071
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6072
ignored by diff and status
6074
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6075
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6077
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6079
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6081
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6082
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6084
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6085
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6087
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6090
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6091
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6093
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6095
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6096
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6098
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6101
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6102
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6104
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6108
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6109
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6111
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6113
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6115
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6117
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6118
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6119
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6121
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6123
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6124
(John Arbash Meinel)
6126
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6128
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6129
If adding a new test script please add that to
6130
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6132
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6133
imported. (Martin Pool)
6135
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6136
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6137
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6138
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6139
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6142
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6143
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6144
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6146
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6147
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6148
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6150
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6151
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6152
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6153
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6154
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6157
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6158
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6163
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6164
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6166
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6167
function. (Robert Collins)
6169
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6170
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6171
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6173
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6174
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6177
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6178
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6179
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6180
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6181
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6182
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6183
version. (Robert Collins)
6185
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6186
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6188
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6189
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6190
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6191
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6192
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6193
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6195
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6198
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6208
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6210
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6212
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6215
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6216
query method. (Robert Collins)
6218
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6221
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6224
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6227
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6228
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6229
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6230
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6232
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6233
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6234
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6235
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6237
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6238
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6245
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6248
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6252
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6253
a separator, not ':'.
6256
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6257
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6258
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6260
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6261
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6264
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6265
has been added that suppresses all output.
6267
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6270
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6271
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6273
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6274
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6276
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6277
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6279
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6280
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6281
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6282
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6284
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6286
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6287
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6289
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6290
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6292
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6293
output directory, if one was supplied.
6295
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6296
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6297
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6298
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6300
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6302
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6303
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6305
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6306
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6307
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6309
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6310
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6312
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6315
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6317
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6321
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6322
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6323
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6325
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6326
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6327
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6329
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6330
is given. (Martin Pool)
6332
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6333
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6334
file. (Robert Collins)
6336
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6341
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6342
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6343
representation. (Martin Pool).
6345
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6346
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6347
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6349
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6352
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6353
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6356
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6357
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6358
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6359
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6360
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6362
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6363
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6364
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6365
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6366
python path. (Robert Collins)
6368
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6369
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6370
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6371
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6373
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6374
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6376
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6377
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6380
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6381
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6382
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6384
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6385
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6386
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6388
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6389
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6391
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6392
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6393
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6396
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6397
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6398
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6399
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6402
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6405
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6406
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6409
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6410
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6411
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6413
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6414
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6415
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6417
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6418
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6419
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6421
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6422
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6424
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6425
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6426
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6427
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6428
caller. (Robert Collins)
6430
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6431
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6434
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6435
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6438
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6440
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6441
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6445
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6446
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6448
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6449
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6452
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6453
--------------------
6457
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6458
allow directories to be listed.
6460
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6461
upgrading branch format.
6465
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6473
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6474
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6475
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6476
high-latency connections.
6480
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6483
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6484
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6486
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6487
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6488
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6489
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6491
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6492
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6494
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6495
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6497
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6498
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6499
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6501
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6502
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6503
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6506
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6507
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6509
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6510
different partial views of history.
6512
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6513
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6517
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6518
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6519
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6521
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6522
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6525
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6526
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6528
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6531
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6532
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6534
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6535
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6536
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6537
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6539
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6541
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6542
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6545
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6546
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6548
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6549
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6550
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6555
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6556
for your viewing pleasure.
6558
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6559
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6561
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6562
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6563
handling of such circumstances.
6565
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6566
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6567
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6569
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6571
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6572
we call them revisions not patches.
6574
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6575
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6577
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6578
giving the revision *of that file*.
6580
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6581
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6582
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6586
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6587
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6589
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6590
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6593
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6594
--------------------
6598
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6600
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6603
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6605
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6607
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6608
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6612
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6613
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6615
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6616
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6617
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6618
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6621
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6622
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6626
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6628
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6629
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6632
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6633
--------------------
6637
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6638
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6639
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6640
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6643
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6646
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6647
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6648
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6649
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6650
for the operating system is still tried.
6652
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6653
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6654
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5
6659
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6663
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6665
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6668
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6674
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6676
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
