IMPROVEMENTS:
11
12
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
13
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)

NOT RELEASED YET
16
----------------

18
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
19
20
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
21
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
22
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
23
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
24
25
NEW FEATURES:
26
27
IMPROVEMENTS:
28
29
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
30
(Marius Kruger)
31
32
BUG FIXES:
33
34
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
35
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
36
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
37
38
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
39
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
40
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
41
42
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
43
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
44
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.

bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
60
---------------------------------
61
62
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
63
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
64
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
65
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
66
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
67
68
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
69
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
70
advice.
71
72
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
73
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
74
75
CHANGES:
76
77
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
78
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
79
80
NEW FEATURES:
81
82
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
83
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
84
85
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
86
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
87
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
88
implement other plugins.
89
(Vincent Ladeuil)
90
91
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
92
(Aaron Bentley)
93
94
IMPROVEMENTS:
95
96
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
97
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
98
99
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
100
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
101
102
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
103
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
104
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
105
processes which drag in shell extensions.
106
(Mark Hammond)
107
108
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
109
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
110
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
111
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
112
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
113
114
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
115
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
116
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
117
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
118
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
119
120
BUG FIXES:
121
122
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
123
control directory. (#139691)
124
125
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
126
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
127
128
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
129
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
130
131
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
132
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
133
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
134
135
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
136
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
137
138
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
139
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
140
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
141
142
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
143
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
144
145
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
146
(Jari Aalto)
147
148
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
149
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
150
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
151
152
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
153
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
154
155
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
156
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
157
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
158
159
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
160
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
161
in the appropriate sections.
162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
163
164
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
165
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
166
(John Arbash meinel)
167
168
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
170
171
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
173
174
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
175
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
176
177
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
178
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
179
work better with how it splits its requests.
180
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
181
182
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
183
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
184
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
185
186
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
187
(Aaron Bentley)
188
189
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
190
191
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
192
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
193
194
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
195
Duffy, #314251)
196
197
DOCUMENTATION:
198
199
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
200
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
201
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
202
(Ian Clatworthy)
203
204
API CHANGES:
205
206
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
207
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
208
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
209
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
210
211
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
212
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
213
214
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
215
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
216
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
217
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
218
219
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
220
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
221
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
222
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
223
224
TESTING:
225
226
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
227
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
228
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
229
230
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
231
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
232
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
233
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
234
235
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
236
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
237
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
238
(Ian Clatworthy)
239
240
INTERNALS:
241
242
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
243
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
244
(John Arbash Meinel)
245
246
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
247
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
248
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
249
(John Arbash Meinel)
250
251
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
252
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
253
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
254
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
255
256
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
257
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
258
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
259
260
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
261
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
262
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
263
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
264
265
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
266
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
267
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
268
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
269
(John Arbash Meinel)
270
271
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
272
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
273
274
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
275
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
276
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
277
278
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
279
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
280
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
281
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
282
283
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
284
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
285
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
286
(John Arbash Meinel)
287
288
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
289
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
290
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
291
292
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
293
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
294
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
295
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
296
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
297
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
298
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
299
300
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
301
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
302
303
304
305
bzr 1.10 2008-12-05
306
-------------------
307
308
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
309
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
310
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
311
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
312
implementation.
313
314
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
315
316
BUG FIXES:
317
318
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
319
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
320
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
321
(Martin Pool, #303856)
322
323
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
324
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
325
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
326
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
327
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
328
329
330
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
331
----------------------
332
333
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
334
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
335
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
336
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
337
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
338
339
NEW FEATURES:
340
341
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
342
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
343
344
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
345
(Aaron Bentley)
346
347
IMPROVEMENTS:
348
349
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
350
history just to set the last revision info.
351
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
352
353
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
354
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
355
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
356
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
357
358
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
359
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
360
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
361
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
362
(John Arbash Meinel)
363
364
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
365
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
366
367
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
368
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
369
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
370
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
371
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
372
373
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
374
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
375
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
376
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
377
378
BUG FIXES:
379
380
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
381
(Martin Pool, #289148)
382
383
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
384
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
385
386
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
387
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
388
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
389
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
390
391
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
392
starting with a dotted revno.
393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
394
395
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
396
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
397
(Martin Pool, #288751)
398
399
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
400
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
401
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
402
403
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
404
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
405
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
406
407
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
408
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
409
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
410
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
411
412
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
413
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
414
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
415
416
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
417
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
418
419
API CHANGES:
420
421
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
422
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
423
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
424
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
425
426
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
427
have changed incompatibly.
428
429
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
430
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
431
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
432
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
433
don't need to change.
434
435
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
436
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
437
438
TESTING:
439
440
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
441
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
442
443
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)

bzr 1.9 2008-11-07
447
------------------
448
449
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
450
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
451
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
452
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
453
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
454
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
455
456
BUG FIXES:
457
458
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
459
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
460
461
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
462
463
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
464
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
469
---------------------
470
471
NEW FEATURES:
472
473
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
474
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
475
476
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
477
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
478
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
479
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
480
481
IMPROVEMENTS:
482
483
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
484
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
485
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
486
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
487
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
488
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
489
490
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
491
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
492
493
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
494
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
495
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
496
497
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
498
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
499
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
500
(Andrew Bennetts)
501
502
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
503
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
504
505
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
506
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
507
508
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
509
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
510
511
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
512
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
513
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
514
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
515
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
516
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
517
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
518
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
519
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
520
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
521
522
BUG FIXES:
523
524
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
525
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
526
527
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
528
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
529
530
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
531
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
532
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
533
534
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
535
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
536
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
537
538
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
539
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
540
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
541
542
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
543
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
544
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
545
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
546
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
547
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
548
549
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
550
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
551
552
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
553
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
554
555
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
556
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
557
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
558
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
559
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
560
561
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
562
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
563
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
564
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
565
566
DOCUMENTATION:
567
568
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
569
570
API CHANGES:
571
572
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
573
574
INTERNALS:
575
576
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
577
configuration of authetication credentials.
578
579
580
bzr 1.8 2008-10-16
581
------------------
582
583
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
584
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
585
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
586
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
587
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
588
589
BUG FIXES:
590
591
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
592
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
593
594
PORTABILITY:
595
596
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
597
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
598
599
600
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
601
---------------------
602
603
CHANGES:
604
605
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
606
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
607
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
608
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
609
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
610
611
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
612
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
613
614
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
615
server. (Marius Kruger)
616
617
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
618
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
619
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
620
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
621
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
622
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
623
624
FEATURES:
625
626
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
627
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
628
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
629
welcome.
630
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
631
632
IMPROVEMENTS:
633
634
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
635
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
636
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
637
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
638
639
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
640
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
641
(Daniel Watkins)
642
643
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
644
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
645
(Andrew Bennetts)
646
647
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
648
(Robert Collins)
649
650
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
651
652
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
653
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
654
655
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
656
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
657
658
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
659
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
660
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
661
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
662
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
663
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
664
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
665
operations. (Robert Collins)
666
667
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
668
669
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
670
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
671
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
672
673
BUG FIXES:
674
675
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
676
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
677
(Martin Pool, #279381)
678
679
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
680
repository now preserves the repository format.
681
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
682
683
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
684
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
685
686
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
688
689
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
690
it's not there.
691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
692
693
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
694
(Andrew Bennetts)
695
696
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
697
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
698
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
699
700
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
701
is in a different repository than the current one.
702
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
703
704
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
705
(David Futcher, #242106)
706
707
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
708
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
709
710
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
711
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
712
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
713
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
714
715
* Trivial documentation fix.
716
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
717
718
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
719
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
720
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
721
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
722
723
DOCUMENTATION:
724
725
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
726
727
API CHANGES:
728
729
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
730
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
731
to use. (Robert Collins)
732
733
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
734
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
735
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
736
737
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
738
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
739
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
740
they want. (Robert Collins)
741
742
TESTING:
743
744
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
745
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
746
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
747
748
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
749
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
750
(Mark Hammond)
751
752
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
753
(Aaron Bentley)
754
755
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
756
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
757
758
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
759
(Andrew Bennetts)
760
761
INTERNALS:
762
763
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
764
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
765
766
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
767
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
768
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
769
770
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
771
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
772
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
773
774
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
775
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
776
777
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
778
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
779
780
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
781
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
782
783
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
784
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
785
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
786
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
787
parameters anymore.

797
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
798
-----------------------
799
800
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
801
file paths when we encounter complex history.
802
803
FEATURES:
804
805
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
806
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
807
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
808
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

812
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
813
------------------
814
815
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
816
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
817
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
818
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
819
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
820
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
821
822
FEATURES
823
824
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
825
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
826
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
827
828
829
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
830
---------------------
831
832
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
833
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
834
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
835
connect to the stacked-on location.
836
837
BUG FIXES:
838
839
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
840
repository now preserves the repository format.
841
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
842
843
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
844
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
845
846
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
847
(Vincent Ladeuil)
848
849
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

853
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
854
---------------------
855
856
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
857
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
858
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
859
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
860
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
861
it in a future repository format.
862
863
864
CHANGES:
865
866
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
867
(Robert Collins)
868
869
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
870
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
871
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
872
873
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
874
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
875
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
876
877
FEATURES
878
879
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
880
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
881
882
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
883
884
IMPROVEMENTS:
885
886
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
887
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
888
(Martin Pool)
889
890
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
891
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
892
893
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
894
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
895
(Marius Kruger)
896
897
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
898
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
899
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
900
(John Arbash Meinel)
901
902
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
903
(Martin Pool, #261315)
904
905
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
906
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
907
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
908
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
909
(John Arbash Meinel)
910
911
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
912
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
913
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
914
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
915
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
916
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
917
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
918
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
919
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
920
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

922
BUG FIXES:
923
924
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
925
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
926
927
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
928
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
929
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
930
931
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
932
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
933
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
934
935
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
936
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
937
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
938
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
939
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
940
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
941
942
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
943
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
944
945
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
946
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
947
948
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
949
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
950
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
951
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
952
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
953
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
954
955
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
956
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
957
958
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
959
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
960
961
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
962
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
963
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
964
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
965
966
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
967
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
968
969
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
970
assuming the host name is ascii.
971
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
972
973
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
974
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
975
976
DOCUMENTATION:
977
978
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
979
980
API CHANGES:
981
982
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
983
984
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
985
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
986
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
987
(Robert Collins)
988
989
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
990
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
991
992
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
993
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
994
995
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
996
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
997
998
TESTING:
999
1000
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1001
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1002
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1003
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1004
1005
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1006
still in use.
1007
(Mark Hammond)
1008
1009
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1010
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1011
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1012
1013
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1014
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1015
1016
INTERNALS:
1017
1018
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1019
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1020
(Robert Collins)
1021
1022
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1023
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1024
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1025
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1026
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1027
1028
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1029
is unknown in both source and target.
1030
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1031
1032
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1033
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1034
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1035
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1036
1037
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1038
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1039
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1040
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1044
--------------------
1045
1046
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1047
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1048
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1049
1050
1051
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1052
-----------------------
1053
1054
BUG FIXES:
1055
1056
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1057
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1058
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1059
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1060
1061
1062
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1063
-----------------------
1064
1065
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1066
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1067
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1068
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1069
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1070
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1071
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1072
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1073
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1074
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1075
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1076
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1077
1078
BUG FIXES:
1079
1080
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1081
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1082
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1083
start of the string (causing more copies).
1084
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1085
especially for projects with large files.
1086
(John Arbash Meinel)
1087
1088
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1089
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1090
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1091
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1092
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1093
1094
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1095
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1096
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1097
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1098
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
1103
------------------
1104
1105
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1106
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1107
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1108
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1109
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1110
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1111
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1112
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1113
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1114
1115
1116
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1117
---------------------
1118
1119
BUG FIXES:
1120
1121
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1122
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1123
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1124
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1125
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1126
1127
1128
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1129
---------------------
1130
1131
BUG FIXES:
1132
1133
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1134
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1135
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1136
1137
1138
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1139
---------------------
1140
1141
CHANGES:
1142
1143
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1144
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1145
(Robert Collins)
1146
1147
IMPROVEMENTS:
1148
1149
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1150
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1151
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1152
(Mark Hammond)
1153
1154
BUG FIXES:
1155
1156
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1157
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1158
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1159
1160
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1161
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1162
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1163
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1164
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1165
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1166
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1167
1168
1169
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1170
---------------------
1171
1172
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1173
fixes for Windows.
1174
1175
BUG FIXES:
1176
1177
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1178
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1179
1180
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1181
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1182
(Aaron Bentley)
1183
1184
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1185
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1186
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1187
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1188
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1189
1190
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1191
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1192
1193
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1194
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1195
1196
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1197
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1198
1199
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1200
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1201
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1202
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1203
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1204
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1205
1206
1207
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1208
---------------------
1209
1210
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1211
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1212
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1213
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1214
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1215
1216
CHANGES:
1217
1218
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1219
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1220
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1221
1222
IMPROVEMENTS:
1223
1224
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1225
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1226
1227
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1228
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1229
1230
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1231
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1232
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1233
1234
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1235
(James Westby)
1236
1237
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1238
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1239
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1240
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1241
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1242
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1243
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1244
1245
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1246
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1247
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1248
1249
BUG FIXES:
1250
1251
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1252
physical repository boundaries.
1253
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1254
1255
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1256
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1257
1258
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1259
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1260
(Martin Pool)
1261
1262
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1263
(Ian Clatworthy)
1264
1265
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1266
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1267
that Python is running from.
1268
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1269
1270
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1271
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1272
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1273
1274
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1275
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1276
1277
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1278
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1279
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1280
1281
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1282
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1283
1284
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1285
(James Westby, #248448)
1286
1287
API CHANGES:
1288
1289
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1290
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1291
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1292
(Robert Collins)
1293
1294
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1295
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1296
(Robert Collins)
1297
1298
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1299
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1300
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1301
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1302
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1303
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1304
(Robert Collins)
1305
1306
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1307
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1308
1309
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1310
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1311
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1312
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1313
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1314
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1315
1316
INTERNALS:
1317
1318
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1319
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1320
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1321
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1322
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1323
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1324
1325
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1326
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1327
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1328
1329
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1330
(Ian Clatworthy)
1331
1332
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1333
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1334
1335
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1340
-----------------------
1341
1342
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1343
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1344
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1345
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1346
bug fixes.
1347
1348
FEATURES:
1349
1350
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1351
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1352
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1353
1354
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1355
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1356
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1357
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1358
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1359
(Ian Clatworthy)
1360
1361
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1362
1363
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1364
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1365
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1366
(Robert Collins)
1367
1368
IMPROVEMENTS:
1369
1370
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1371
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1372
(Martin Pool)
1373
1374
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1375
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1376
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1377
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1378
1379
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1380
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1381
(Christophe Troestler)
1382
1383
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1384
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1385
1386
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1387
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1388
faster. The new request method name is
1389
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1390
1391
BUG FIXES:
1392
1393
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1394
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1395
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1396
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1397
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1398
1399
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1400
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1401
1402
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1403
requires a branch to be present.
1404
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1405
1406
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1407
loaded.
1408
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1409
1410
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1411
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1412
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1413
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1414
1415
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1416
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1417
1418
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1419
name contains an @.
1420
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1421
1422
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1423
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1424
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1425
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1426
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1427
1428
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1429
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1430
1431
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1432
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1433
1434
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1435
Cygwin Bazaar.
1436
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1437
1438
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1439
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1440
1441
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1442
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1443
1444
DOCUMENTATION:
1445
1446
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1447
(Ian Clatworthy)
1448
1449
* Updated developer documentation.
1450
(Martin Pool)
1451
1452
TESTING:
1453
1454
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1455
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1456
1457
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1458
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1459
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1460
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1461
1462
API CHANGES:
1463
1464
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1465
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1466
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1467
Repository docstring for more details.
1468
(Robert Collins)
1469
1470
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1471
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1472
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1473
1474
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1475
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1476
(Daniel Watkins)
1477
1478
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1479
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1480
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1481
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1482
1483
INTERNALS:
1484
1485
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1486
(Alexander Belchenko)
1487
1488
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1489
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1490
containing a given location.
1491
(Daniel Watkins)
1492
1493
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1494
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1495
storage. (Robert Collins)
1496
1497
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1498
(Robert Collins)
1499
1500
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1501
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1506
-----------------------
1507
1508
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1509
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1510
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1511
now faster.
1512
1513
BUG FIXES:
1514
1515
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1516
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1517
reading from the repository.)
1518
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1519
1520
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1521
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1522
1523
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1524
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1525
(Andrew Bennetts)
1526
1527
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1528
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1529
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1530
1531
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1532
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1533
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1534
1535
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1536
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1537
1538
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1539
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1540
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1541
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1542
1543
IMPROVEMENTS:
1544
1545
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1546
1547
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1548
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1549
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1550
(Adrian Wilkins)
1551
1552
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1553
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1554
1555
DOCUMENTATION:
1556
1557
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1558
1559
TESTING:
1560
1561
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1562
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1563
1564
API CHANGES:
1565
1566
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1567
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1568
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1569
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1570
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1571
1572
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1573
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1574
1575
INTERNALS:
1576
1577
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1578
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1579
1580
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1581
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1582
1583
1584
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1585
-----------------------
1586
1587
1588
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1589
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1590
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1591
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1592
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1593
and future extensions.
1594
1595
1596
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1597
1598
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1599
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1600
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1601
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1602
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1603
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1604
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1605
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1606
1607
CHANGES:
1608
1609
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1610
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1611
(John Arbash Meinel)
1612
1613
FEATURES:
1614
1615
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1616
load. (James Westby)
1617
1618
IMPROVEMENTS:
1619
1620
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1621
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1622
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1623
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1624
1625
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1626
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1627
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1628
1629
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1630
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1631
1632
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1633
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1634
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1635
1636
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1637
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1638
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1639
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1640
step closer to not using full revision history.
1641
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1642
1643
BUGFIXES:
1644
1645
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1646
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1647
1648
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1649
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1650
1651
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1652
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1653
1654
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1655
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1656
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1657
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1658
1659
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1660
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1661
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1662
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1663
1664
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1665
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1666
in use by another process.
1667
(Martin Pool)
1668
1669
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1670
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1671
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1672
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1673
1674
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1675
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1676
1677
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1678
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1679
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1680
1681
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1682
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1684
1685
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1686
them.
1687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1688
1689
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1690
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1691
1692
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1693
under vim on Mac OS X.
1694
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1695
1696
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1697
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1698
1699
DOCUMENTATION:
1700
1701
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1702
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1703
1704
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1705
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1706
(Ian Clatworthy)
1707
1708
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1709
and about use of Python reprs.
1710
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1711
1712
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1713
1714
TESTING:
1715
1716
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1717
(Robert Collins)
1718
1719
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1720
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1721
1722
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1723
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1724
1725
INTERNALS:
1726
1727
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1728
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1729
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1730
(John Arbash Meinel)
1731
1732
API CHANGES:
1733
1734
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1735
instead. (Martin Pool)
1736
1737
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1738
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1739
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1740
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1741
1742
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1743
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1744
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1745
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1746
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1747
1748
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1749
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1750
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1751
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1752
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1753
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1754
1755
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1756
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1757
(Martin Pool)
1758
1759
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1760
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1761
(Robert Collins)
1762
1763
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1764
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1765
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1766
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1767
1768
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1769
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1770
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1771
1772
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1773
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1774
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1775
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1776
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1777
(Martin Pool)
1778
1779
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1780
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1781
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1782
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1783
(Robert Collins)
1784
1785
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1786
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1787
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1788
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1789
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1790
1791
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1792

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
1796
------------------
1797
1798
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1799
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1800
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1801
1802
CHANGES:
1803
1804
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1805
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1806
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1807
1808
DOCUMENTATION:
1809
1810
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

1816
---------------------
1817
1818
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1819
1820
CHANGES:
1821
1822
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1823
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1824
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1825
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1826
1827
FEATURES:
1828
1829
IMPROVEMENTS:
1830
1831
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1832
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1833
1834
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1835
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1836
1837
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1838
(Aaron Bentley)
1839
1840
BUGFIXES:
1841
1842
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1844
1845
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1846
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1847
1848
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1849
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1850
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1851
1852
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1853
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1854
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1855
1856
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1857
(Andreas Deininger)
1858
1859
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1860
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1861
1862
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1863
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1864
1865
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1866
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1867
1868
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1869
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1870
1871
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1872
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1874
1875
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1876
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1877
1878
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1879
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1880
1881
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1882
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1883
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1884
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1885
1886
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1887
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1888
(Martin Pool)
1889
1890
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1891
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1892
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1893
1894
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1895
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1896
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1897
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1898
every revision each side had in common.
1899
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1900
1901
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1902
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1903
1904
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1905
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1906
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1907
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1908
1909
DOCUMENTATION:
1910
1911
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1912
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1913
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1914
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1915
1916
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1917
1918
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1919
1920
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1921
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1922
1923
TESTING:
1924
1925
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1926
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1927
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1928
1929
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1930
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1931
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1932
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1933
1934
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1935
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1936
1937
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1938
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1939
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1940
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1941
1942
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1943
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1944
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1945
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1946
1947
INTERNALS:
1948
1949
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1950
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1951
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1952
1953
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1954
1955
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1956
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1957
1958
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1959
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1960
1961
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1962
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1963
1964
API CHANGES:
1965
1966
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1967
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1968
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1969
1970
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1971
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1972
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1973
(Aaron Bentley)
1974
1975
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1976
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1977
(Martin Pool)
1978
1979
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1984
------------------
1985
1986
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1987
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1988
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1989
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1990
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1991
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1992
and faster performance.
1993
1994
BUG FIXES:
1995
1996
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1997

1998
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

BUG FIXES:
2006
2007
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2008
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2009
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2010
2011
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2012
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)

2014
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2015
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)

CHANGES:
2029
2030
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2031
2032
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2033
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2034
2035
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2036
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2037
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2038
2039
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2040
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2041
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2042
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2043
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2044
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2045
Andrew Cowie)
2046
2047
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2048
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2049
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2050
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2051
2052
FEATURES:
2053
2054
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2055
2056
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2057
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2058
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2059
2060
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2061
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2062
See the User Reference for signature details.
2063
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2064
2065
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2066
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2067
2068
IMPROVEMENTS:
2069
2070
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2071
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2072
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2073
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2074
2075
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2076
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2077
2078
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2079
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2080
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2081
Wouter van Heyst)
2082
2083
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2084
(Chad Miller)
2085
2086
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2087
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2088
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2089
2090
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2091
(Aaron Bentley)
2092
2093
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2094
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2095
2096
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2097
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2098
2099
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2100
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2101
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2102
2103
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2104
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2105
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2106
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2107
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2108
2109
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2110
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2111
2112
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2113
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2114
2115
BUGFIXES:
2116
2117
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2118
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2119
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2120
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2121
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2122
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2123
2124
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2125
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2126
2127
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2128
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2129
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2130
2131
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2132
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2133
2134
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2135
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2136
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2137
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2138
2139
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2140
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2141
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2142
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2143
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2144
2145
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2146
2147
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2148
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2149
2150
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2151
2152
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2153
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2154
2155
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2156
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2157
2158
DOCUMENTATION:
2159
2160
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2161
2162
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2163
2164
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2165
2166
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2167
2168
API BREAKS:
2169
2170
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2171
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2172
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2173
2174
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2175
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2176
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2177
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2178
2179
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2180
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2181
release. (James Westby)
2182
2183
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2184
(Andrew Bennetts)
2185
2186
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2187
2188
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2189
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2190
2191
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2192
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2195
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2196
2197
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2198
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2199
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2200
2201
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2202
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2203
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2204
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2205
2206
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2207
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2208
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2209
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2210
2211
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2212
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2213
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2214
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2215
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2216
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2217
2218
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2219
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2220
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2221
2222
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2223
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2224
2225
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2226
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2227
(Robert Collins)
2228
2229
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2230
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2231
2232
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2233
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2234
2235
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2236
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2237
2238
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2239
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2240
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2241
2242
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2243
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2244
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2245
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2246
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2247
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2248
2249
TESTING:
2250
2251
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2252
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2253
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2254
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2255
2256
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2257
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2258
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2259
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2260
implement this).
2261
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2262
2263
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2264
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2265
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2266
2267
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2268
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2269
2270
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2271
2272
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2273
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2274
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2275
2276
INTERNALS:
2277
2278
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2279
2280
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2281
(Martin Albisetti)
2282
2283
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2284
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2285
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2286
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2287
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2288
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2289
2290
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2291
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2292
2293
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2294
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2295
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2296
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2297
2298
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2299
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2300
2301
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2302
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

2312
---------------------
2313
2314
BUG FIXES:
2315
2316
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2317
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2318
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
2323
------------------
2324
2325
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2326
2327
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2328
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2329
features have been added.
2330
2331
TESTING:
2332
2333
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
2334
directory names.

2341
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2342
2343
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2344
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2345
2346
CHANGES:
2347
2348
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2349
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2350
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2351
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2352
(Robert Collins)
2353
2354
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2355
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2356
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2357
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2358
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2359
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2360
2361
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2362
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2363
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2364
(Alexander Belchenko)
2365
2366
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2367
2368
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2369
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2370
2371
FEATURES:
2372
2373
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2374
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2375
2376
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2377
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2378
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2379
2380
IMPROVEMENTS:
2381
2382
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2383
2384
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2385
2386
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2387
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2388
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2389
2390
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2391
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2392
2393
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2394
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2395
2396
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2397
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2398
(Alexander Belchenko)
2399
2400
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2401
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2402
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2403
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2404
2405
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2406
(Daniel Watkins)
2407
2408
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2409
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2410
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2411
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2412
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2413
2414
BUGFIXES:
2415
2416
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2417
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2418
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2419
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2420
2421
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2422
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2423
2424
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2425
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2426
2427
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2428
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2429
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2430
2431
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2432
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2433
2434
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2435
#196618)
2436
2437
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2438
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2439
2440
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2441
2442
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2443
2444
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2445
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2446
2447
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2448
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2449
2450
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2451
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2452
2453
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2454
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2455
2456
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2457
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2458
2459
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2460
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2461
2462
DOCUMENTATION:
2463
2464
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2465
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2466
2467
API BREAKS:
2468
2469
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2470
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2471
(Alexander Belchenko)
2472
2473
TESTING:
2474
2475
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2476
2477
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2478
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2479
(Robert Collins)
2480
2481
INTERNALS:
2482
2483
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2484
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2485
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2486
2487
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2488
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2489
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2490
(Alexander Belchenko)
2491
2492
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2493
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2494
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2495
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2496
2497
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2498
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2499
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2500
(Robert Collins)
2501
2502
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2503
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2504
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2505
2506
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2507
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2508
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2509
2510
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2511
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2512
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2513
format. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.2 2008-02-15
2517

bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2525
---------------------
2526
2527
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2528
2529
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2530
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2531
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2532
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2533
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2534
(Andrew Bennetts)
2535
2536
CHANGES:
2537
2538
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2539
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2540
2541
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2542
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2543
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2544
2545
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2546
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2547
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2548
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2549
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2550
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2551
(Aaron Bentley)
2552
2553
FEATURES:
2554
2555
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2556
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2557
2558
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2559
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2560
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2561
(Robert Collins)
2562
2563
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2564
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2565
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2566
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2567
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2568
2569
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2570
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2571
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2572
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2573
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2574
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2575
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2576
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2577
2578
IMPROVEMENTS:
2579
2580
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2581
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2582
2583
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2584
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2585
2586
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2587
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2588
2589
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2590
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2591
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2592
2593
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2594
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2595
(John Arbash Meinel)
2596
2597
BUGFIXES:
2598
2599
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2600
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2601
2602
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2603
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2604
2605
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2606
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2607
2608
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2609
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2610
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2611
2612
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2613
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2614
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2615
2616
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2617
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2618
2619
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2620
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2621
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2622
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2623
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2624
unittest runner.
2625
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2626
2627
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2628
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2629
#185907)
2630
2631
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2632
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2633
2634
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2635
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2636
2637
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2638
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2639
2640
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2641
more characters which should be considered valid.
2642
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2643
2644
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2645
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2646
2647
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2648
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2649
2650
API BREAKS:
2651
2652
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2653
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2654
2655
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2656
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2657
(Martin Pool)
2658
2659
TESTING:
2660
2661
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2662
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2663
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2664
2665
INTERNALS:
2666
2667
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2668
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2669
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2670
2671
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2672
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2673
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2674
2675
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2676
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2677
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2678
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2679
2680
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2681
2682
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2683
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2684
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2685
server. (Robert Collins)
2686
2687
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2688
operate. (Robert Collins)
2689
2690
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2691
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2692
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2693
2694
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2695
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2696
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2697
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2698
2699
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2700
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2701
2702
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2703
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2704
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2705
2706
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2707
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2708
2709
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2710
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2711
2712
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2713
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2714
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2715
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2722
2723
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2724
---------------------
2725
2726
CHANGES:
2727
2728
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2729
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2730
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2731
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2732
2733
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2734
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2735
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2736
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2737
2738
FEATURES:
2739
2740
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2741
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2742
2743
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2744
(Aaron Bentley)
2745
2746
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2747
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2748
2749
IMPROVEMENTS:
2750
2751
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2752
#90049)
2753
2754
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2755
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2756
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2757
2758
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2759
2760
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2761
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2762
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2763
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2764
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2765
2766
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2767
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2768
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2769
2770
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2771
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2772
2773
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2774
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2775
2776

2779
2780
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2781
(Aaron Bentley)
2782
2783
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2784
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)

2788
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2789
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2790
2791
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2792

2795
(Aaron Bentley)
2796
2797

2798
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2799
2800

2804
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2805
2806
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2807
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)

2817
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2818
(Aaron Bentley)
2819
2820
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2821
2822

2823
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2824
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2825
2826
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.

(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2828
2829
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2830
(Aaron Bentley)
2831
2832
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2833
#148087)
2834
2835
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2836
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2837
2838
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2839
#137681)
2840
2841
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2842
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2843
(Aaron Bentley)
2844
2845
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2846
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.

2852
(Ian Clatworthy)
2853
2854
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2855
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2856
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2857
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2858
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2859
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2860
2861
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2862

2870
2871
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2872
2873
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2874
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2875
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2876
Robert Collins)
2877
2878
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2879
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2880
2881
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.

API BREAKS:
2885
2886
TESTING:
2887
2888
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2889
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2890
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2891
2892
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2893
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2894
(Robert Collins)
2895
2896
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2897
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2898

2900
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2901
2902
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2903
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2904
2905
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2906
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2907
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2908
2909
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2910
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2911
2912

2913
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2914
2915
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2916
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2917
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2918
2919

BUGFIXES:
2954
2955
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2956
2957
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2958
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2959
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2960
feedback but also incur more latency.
2961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2962
2963

IMPROVEMENTS:
2985
2986
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2987
2988
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2989
(Aaron Bentley)
2990
2991
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2992
Nordhoff, #172612)
2993
2994
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2995
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2996
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2997
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2998
2999
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
3000
(Kent Gibson)
3001
3002
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
3003
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
3004
3005
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
3006
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
3007
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
3008
3009
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3010
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3011
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3012
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3013
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3014
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3015
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3016
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3017
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

3032
filename to user.
3033
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3034
3035
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3036
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3037
required.
3038
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3039
3040
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3041
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3042
3043
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3044
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3045
3046

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3053
---------------------
3054
3055
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3056
3057
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3058
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3059
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3060
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3061
3062
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3063
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3064
3065
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3066
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3067
3068
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3069
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3070
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3071
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3072
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3073
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3074
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3075
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3076
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3077
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3078
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3079
from any tree without problems.
3080
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3081
3082
CHANGES:
3083
3084
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3085
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3086
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3087
3088
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3089
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3090
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3091
(Martin Pool)
3092
3093
FEATURES:
3094
3095
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3096
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3097
supported transports.
3098
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3099
3100
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3101
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3102
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3103
3104
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3105
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3106
3107
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3108
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3109
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3110
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3111
3112
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3113
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3114
3115
PERFORMANCE:
3116
3117
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3118
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3119
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3120
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3121
3122
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3123
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3124
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3125
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3126
3127
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3128
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3129
3130
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3131
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3132
3133
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3134
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3135
3136
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3137
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3138
(Aaron Bentley)
3139
3140
IMPROVEMENTS:
3141
3142
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3143
(Aaron Bentley)
3144
3145
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3146
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3147
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3148
3149
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3150
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3151
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3152
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3153
3154
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3155
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3156
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3157
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

3169
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3170
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)

3172
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3173

3201
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)

3203
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3204
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3205
3206
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3207
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3208
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3209
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3210
on them.
3211
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3212

3221
to be reconciled.
3222
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3223
3224
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3225
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3226
3227
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3228
specify a port in urls.
3229
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3230

repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3245
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3246
3247
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3248
3249
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3250
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3251
3252
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3253
Watkins, #152811)
3254
3255
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3256
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3257
3258
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3259
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3260
3261
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3262
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3263
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3264
3265
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3266
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3267
3268
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3269
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3270
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3271
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3272
3273
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3274
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3275
3276
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3277
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3278
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3279
3280
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3281
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3282
3283
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3285
3286
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3288
3289
API BREAKS:
3290
3291
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3292
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3293
3294
* The return value of
3295
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3296
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3297
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3298
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3301
(Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3304
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3305
format.
3306
(Martin Pool)
3307
3308
INTERNALS:
3309
3310
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3311
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3312
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3313
Bennetts)
3314
3315
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3316
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3317
3318
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

3334
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3335
3336
CHANGES:
3337
3338
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3339
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3340
3341
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3342
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3343
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3344
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3345
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3346
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3347
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3348
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3349
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3350
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3351
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3352
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3353
(Robert Collins)
3354
3355
FEATURES:
3356
3357
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3358
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3359
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3360
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3361
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3362
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3363
3364
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3365
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3366
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3367
(Robert Collins)
3368
3369
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3370
3371
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3372
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3373
3374
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3375
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3376
(Aaron Bentley)
3377
3378
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3379
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3380
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3381
3382
PERFORMANCE:
3383
3384
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3385
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3386
3387
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3388
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3389
3390
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3391
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3392
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3393
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3394
3395
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3396
(Robert Collins)
3397
3398
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3399
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3400
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3401
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3402
3403
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3404
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3405
3406
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3407
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3408
3409
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3410
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3411
3412
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3413
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3414
3415
IMPROVEMENTS:
3416
3417
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3418
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3419
3420
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3421
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3422
3423
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3424
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3425
3426
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3427
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3428
3429
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3430
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3431
3432
DOCUMENTATION:
3433
3434
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3435
3436
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3437
(Ian Clatworthy)
3438
3439
BUG FIXES:
3440
3441
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3442
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3443
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3444
3445
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3446
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3447
3448
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3449
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3450
3451
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3452
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3453
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3454
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3455
3456
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3457
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3458
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3459
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3460
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3461
3462
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3463
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3464
paramiko.
3465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3466
3467
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3468
3469
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3470
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3471
3472
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3474
3475
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3477
3478
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3479
contains a symbolic link.
3480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3481
3482
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3483
(James Westby, #140615)
3484
3485
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3486
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3487
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3488
3489
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3490
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3491
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3492
3493
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3494
3495
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3496
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3497
3498
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3499
will remain opened.
3500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3501
3502
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3503
directory to detect leaking tests.
3504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3505
3506
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3507
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3508
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3509
3510
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3511
(Rob Weir, #141629)
3512
3513
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3514
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3515
3516
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3517
Merwe)
3518
3519
API BREAKS:
3520
3521
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3522
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3523
3524
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3525
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3526
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3527
3528
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3529
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3530
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3531
3532
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3533
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3534
3535
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3536
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3537
3538
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3539
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3540
(Martin Pool)
3541
3542
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3543
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3544
3545
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3546
class that needs it.
3547
(Martin Pool)
3548
3549
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3550
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3551
3552
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3553
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3554
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3555
3556
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3557
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3558
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3559
(Robert Collins)
3560
3561
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3562
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3563
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3564
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3565
(Robert Collins)
3566
3567
INTERNALS:
3568
3569
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3570
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3571
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3572
3573
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3574
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3575
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3576
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3577
3578
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3579
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3580
(Robert Collins)
3581
3582
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3583
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3584
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3585
3586
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3587
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3588
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3589
3590
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3591
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3592
3593
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3594
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3595
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3596
3597
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3598
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3599
3600
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3601
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3602
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3603
3604
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3605
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3606
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3607
3608
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3609
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3610
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3611
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3612
3613
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3614
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3615
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3616
returned. (Robert Collins)
3617
3618
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3619
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3620
3621
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3622
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3623
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3624
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3625
(Robert Collins)
3626
3627
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3628
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3629
3630
TESTING:
3631
3632
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3633
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3634
3635
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3636
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3637
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3638
makes this behavior available to other users.
3639
(Martin Pool)
3640
3641
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3642
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

3645
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
3646
-------------------
3647
3648
BUG FIXES:
3649
3650
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3651
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3652
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3653
3654
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3655
3656
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3657
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3658
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3659
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3660
3661
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3662
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3663
(Andrew Bennetts)

3665
3666
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3667
----------------------
3668
3669
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3670
in bzrlib/remote.py.

3672
3673
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3674
----------------------
3675
3676
CHANGES:
3677
3678
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3679
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3680
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3681
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3682
(Martin Pool)
3683
3684
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3685
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3686
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3687
(Ian Clatworthy)
3688
3689
FEATURES:
3690
3691
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3692
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3693
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3694
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3695
3696
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3697
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3698
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3699
3700
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3701
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3702
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3703
3704
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3705
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3706
3707
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3708
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3709
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3710
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3711
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3712
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3713
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3714
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3715
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3716
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3717
3718
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3719
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3720
3721
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3722
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3723
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3724
3725
BUG FIXES:
3726
3727
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3728
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3729
3730
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3731
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3732
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3733
3734
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3735
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3736
3737
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3738
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3739
3740
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3741
(Aaron Bentley)
3742
3743
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3744
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3745
3746
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3747
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3748
3749
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3750
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3751
3752
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3753
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3754
3755
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3756
3757
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3758
Watkins, #106726)
3759
3760
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3761
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3762
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3763
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3764
3765
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3766
3767
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3768
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3769
#133548)
3770
3771
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3772
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3773
3774
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3775
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3776
#116143)
3777
3778
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3779
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3780
3781
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3782
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3783
3784
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3785
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3786
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3787
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3788
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3789
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3790
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3791
3792
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3793
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3794
3795
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3796
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3797
3798
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3799
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3800
3801
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3803
3804
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3805
connections.
3806
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3807
3808
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3809
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3810
3811
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3812
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3813
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3814
3815
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3816
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3817
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3818
3819
IMPROVEMENTS:
3820
3821
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3822
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3823
3824
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3825
(Aaron Bentley)
3826
3827
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3828
(Aaron Bentley)
3829
3830
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3831
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3832
3833
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3834
3835
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3836
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3837
3838
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3839
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3840
3841
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3842
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3843
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3844
space). (Robert Collins)
3845
3846
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3847
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3848
(Ian Clatworthy)
3849
3850
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3851
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3852
3853
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3854
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3855
3856
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3857
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3858
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3859
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3860
3861
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3862
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3863
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3864
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3865
3866
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3867
(Ian Clatworthy)
3868
3869
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3870
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3871
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3872
3873
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3874
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3875
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3876
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3877
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3878
3879
API BREAKS:
3880
3881
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3882
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3883
3884
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3885
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3886
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3887
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3888
affected. (Robert Collins)
3889
3890
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3891
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3892
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3893
(Robert Collins)
3894
3895
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3896
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3897
3898
TESTING:
3899
3900
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3901
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3902
3903
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3904
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3905
3906
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3907
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3908
3909
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3910
(Aaron Bentley)
3911
3912
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3913
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3914
3915
INTERNALS:
3916
3917
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3918
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3919
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3920
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3921
3922
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3923
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3924
3925
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3926
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3927
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3928
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3929
3930
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3931
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3932
present. (Robert Collins)
3933
3934
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3935
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3936
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3937
API. (Robert Collins)
3938
3939
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3940
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3941
(Robert Collins)
3942
3943
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3944
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3945
3946
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3947
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3948
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3949
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3950
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3951
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3952
3953
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3954
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3955
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3956
3957
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3958
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3959
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3960
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3961
protocol.
3962
3963
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3964
(Aaron Bentley)
3965
3966
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3967
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3968
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3969
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3970
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3971
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3972
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3973
3974
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3975
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3976
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3977
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3978
3979
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3980
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3981
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3982
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3983
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3984
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3985
3986
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3987
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3988
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3989
3990
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3991
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
3996
3997
IMPROVEMENTS:
3998
3999
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4000
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4001
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4002
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4003
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4004
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4005
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4007
4008
4009
API CHANGES:
4010
4011
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4012
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4013
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4014

4016
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4017
----------------------
4018
4019
BUGFIXES:
4020
4021
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4022
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4023
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4024
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4025
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4026
4027
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4029
4030
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4031
anymore.
4032
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4033
4034
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4035
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4036
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4037
4038
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4039
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4040
#111664)
4041
4042
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4043
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4044
4045
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4046
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4047
4048
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4049
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4050
4051
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4052
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4053
4054
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4055
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4056
4057
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4058
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4059
4060
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4061
(Aaron Bentley)
4062
4063
IMPROVEMENTS:
4064
4065
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4066
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4067
4068
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4069
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4070
4071
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4072
the repository (Robert Collins)
4073
4074
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4075
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4076
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4077
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4078
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4079
4080
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4081
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4082
4083
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4084
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4085
(John Arbash Meinel)
4086
4087
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4088
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4089
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4090
about 10%).
4091
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4092
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4093
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4094
(John Arbash Meinel)
4095
4096
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4097
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4098
(Robert Collins)
4099
4100
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4101
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4102
4103
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4104
(Ian Clatworthy)
4105
4106
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4107
4108
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4109
4110
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4111
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4112
4113
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4114
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4115
Meinel)
4116
4117
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4118
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4119
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4120
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4121
4122
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4123
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4124
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4125
4126
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4127
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4128
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4129
4130
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4131
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4132
4133
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4134
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4135
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4136
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4137
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4138
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4139
(Ian Clatworthy)
4140
4141
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4142
(Alexander Belchenko)
4143
4144
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4145
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4146
4147
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4148
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4149
4150
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4151
4152
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4153
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)

* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4158
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4159
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4160
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4161
4162
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4163
4164
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4165
(Robert Collins)
4166
4167
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4168
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4169
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4170
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4171
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4172
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4173
4174
INTERNALS:
4175
4176
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4177
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4178
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4179
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4180
4181
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4182
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4183
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4184
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4185
tests have been refactored too.
4186
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4187
4188
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4189
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4190
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4191
list, it will.
4192
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4193
4194
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4195
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4196
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4197
4198
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4199
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4200
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4201
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4202
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4203
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4204
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4205
4206
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4207
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4208
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4209
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4210
(John Arbash Meinel)
4211
4212
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4213
functionality for testing.
4214
4215
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4216
4217
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4218
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4219
4220
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4221
4222
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4223
(Robert Collins)
4224
4225
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4226
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4227
4228
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4229
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4230
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4231
4232
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4233
(Aaron Bentley)
4234
4235
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4236
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4237
4238
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4239
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4240
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4241
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4242
4243
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4244
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4245
4246
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4247
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4248
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4249
4250
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4251
(Marius Kruger)
4252
4253
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4254
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4255
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4256
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4257
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4258
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4259
4260
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4261
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4262
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4263
many files. (Robert Collins)
4264
4265
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4266
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4267
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4268
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4269
4270
TESTING:
4271
4272
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4273
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4274
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4275
4276
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4277
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4278
4279
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4280
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4281
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4298
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)

4302
(James Westby, #122656)

individually and as part of revision ranges.
4327
(Kent Gibson, #4663)

4332
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4333
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4334
4335
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4336
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4337
4338
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4339
4340
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4341
4342
IMPROVEMENTS:
4343
4344
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4345
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4346
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4347
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4348
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4349
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4350
4351
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4352
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4353
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4354
4355
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4356
(Elliot Murphy)
4357
4358
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4359
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4360
4361
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4362
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4363
4364
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4365
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4366
4367
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4368
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4369
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4370
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4371
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4372
4373
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4374
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4375
4376
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4377
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4378
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4379
4380
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4381
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4382
4383
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4384
4385
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4386
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4387
4388
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4389
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4390
(Robert Collins)
4391
4392
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4393
(Martin Pool)
4394
4395
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4396
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4397
4398
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4399
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4400
4401
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4402
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4403
4404
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4405
4406
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4407
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4408

4412
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
4413
4414
* Testing cleanups -
4415
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4416
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4417
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4418
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4419
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4420
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4421
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4422
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4423
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4424
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4425
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4426
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4427
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4428
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4429
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4430
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4431
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4432
(Robert Collins)
4433
4434
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4435
4436
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4437
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4438
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4439
4440
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4441
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4442
4443
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4444
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4445
4446
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4447
4448
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4449
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4450
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4451
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4452
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4453
same location. (Robert Collins)
4454
4455
INTERNALS:
4456
4457
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4458
4459
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4460
4461
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4462
4463
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4464
(Martin Pool)
4465
4466
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4467
(Martin Pool)
4468
4469
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4470
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4471
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4472
4473
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4474
4475
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4476
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4477
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4478
4479
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4480
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4481
4482
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4483
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4484
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4485
4486
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4487
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4488
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4489
4490
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4491
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4492
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4493
4494
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4495
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4496
Martin Pool)
4497
4498
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4499
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4500
4501
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4502
(Alexander Belchenko)
4503
4504
TESTING:
4505
4506
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4507
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4508
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4509
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4510
4511
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4512
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4513
testing. (Robert Collins)
4514
4515
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4516
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4517
4518
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4519
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4520
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4521
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4522
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4523
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4524
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4525
4526
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4527
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4528
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4529
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4530
4531
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4532
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4533
4534
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4535
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4555
4556
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4557
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4558
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4559
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4560
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4561
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4562
and unlock() like so::
4563
4564
work_tree.lock_read()
4565
try:
4566
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4567
finally:
4568
work_tree.unlock()
4569
4570
INTERNALS:
4571
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4572
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4573
object.
4574
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4575
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4576
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4577
4578
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4579
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4580
too. (Robert Collins)
4581
4582
IMPROVEMENTS:
4583
4584
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4585
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4586
Aaron Bentley)
4587
4588
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4589
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4590
4591
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4592
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4593
4594
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4595
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4596
understanding what changes have occurred
4597
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4598
4599
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4600
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4601
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4602
4603
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4604
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4605
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4606
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4607
4608
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4609
#56322)
4610
4611
BUGFIXES:
4612
4613
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4614
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4615
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4616
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4617
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4618
4619
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4620
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4621
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4622
4623
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4625
4626
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4627
into account.
4628
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4629
4630
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4631
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4632
4633
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4634
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4635
4636
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4637
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4638
4639
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4640
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4641
4642
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4643
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4644
4645
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4646
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4647
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

4650
--------------------
4651
4652
BUGFIXES:
4653
4654
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4655
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4656
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4657
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4658
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4659
4660
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4661
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4662
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4663
4664
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4665
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4666
4667
IMPROVEMENTS:
4668
4669
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4670
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4671
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4672
4673
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4674
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4675
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4676
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4679
-----------------------
4680
4681
BUGFIXES:
4682
4683
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4684
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4685
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4686
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4687
4688
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4689
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4690
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4691
4692
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4693
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4694
4695
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4696
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4697
4698
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4699
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

4702
-----------------------
4703
4704
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4705
4706
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4707
it could be recovered again.
4708
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4709
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4710
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4711
but not delete it.
4712
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4713
files.
4714
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4715
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4716
4717
IMPROVEMENTS:
4718
4719
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4720
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4721
4722
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4723
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4724
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4725
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4726
4727
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4728
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4729
4730
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4731
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4732
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4733
4734
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4735
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4736
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4737
4738
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4739
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4740
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4741
4742
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4743
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4744
Robert Collins)
4745
4746
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4747
Pool)
4748
4749
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4750
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4751
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4752
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4753
4754
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4755
(Robert Collins)
4756
4757
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4758
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4759
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4760
(Robert Collins)
4761
4762
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4763
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4764
4765
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4766
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4767
4768
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4769
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4770
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4771
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4772
(Robert Collins)
4773
4774
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4775
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4776
4777
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4778
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4779
4780
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4781
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4782
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4783
4784
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4785
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4786
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4787
4788
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4789
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4790
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4791
4792
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4793
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4794
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4795
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4796
4797
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4798
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4799
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4800
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4801
4802
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4803
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4804
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4805
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4806
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4807
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4808
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4809
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4810
header(s).
4811
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4812
4813
INTERNALS:
4814
4815
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4816
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4817
4818
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4819
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4820
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4821
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4822
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4823
4824
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4825
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4826
4827
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4828
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4829
4830
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4831
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4832
4833
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4834
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4835
4836
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4837
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4838
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4839
(Robert Collins).
4840
4841
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4842
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4843
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4844
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4845
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4846
(Robert Collins)
4847
4848
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4849
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4850
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4851
4852
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4853
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4854
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4855
4856
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4857
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4858
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4859
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4860
4861
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4862
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4863
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4864
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4865
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4866
4867
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4868
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4869
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4870
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4871
4872
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4873
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4874
4875
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4876
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4877
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4878
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4879
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4880
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4881
4882
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4883
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4884
4885
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4886
help. (Robert Collins)
4887
4888
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4889
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4890
4891
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4892
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4893
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4894
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4895
(John Arbash Meinel)
4896
4897
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4898
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4899
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4900
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4901
useful. (Robert Collins)
4902
4903
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4904
(Andrew Bennetts)
4905
4906
BUGFIXES:
4907
4908
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4909
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4910
4911
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4912
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4913
4914
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4915
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4916
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4917
4918
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4919
(Aaron Bentley)
4920
4921
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4922
the file, and does it faster.
4923
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4924
4925
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4926
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4927
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4928
4929
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4930
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4931
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4932
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4933
4934
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4935
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4936
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4937
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4938
4939
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4940
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4941
4942
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4943
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4944
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4945
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4946
Arbash Meinel)
4947
4948
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4949
4950
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4951
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4952
4953
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4954
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4955
4956
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4957
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4958
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4959
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4960
security hole.
4961
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4962
4963
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4965
4966
TESTING:
4967
4968
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4969
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4970
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4971
4972
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4973
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4974
4975
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4976
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4977
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4978
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4979
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4980
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4981
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4982
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4983
4984
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4985
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4986
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4987
4988
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4989
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4990
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4991
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4992
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4993
access.
4994
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4995
4996
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4997
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4998
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4999
5000
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5001
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older

5023
(Martin Pool)
5024
5025
IMPROVEMENTS:
5026
5027
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5028
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5029
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5030
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5031
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5032
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5033
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5034
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5035
path. (vila)
5036
5037
INTERNALS:
5038
5039
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5040
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5041
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5042
5043
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5044
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5045
(Martin Pool)
5046
5047
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5048
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5049
(John Arbash Meinel)
5050
5051
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5052
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5053
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5054
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5055
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)

5059
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5060
(vila, #92195)
5061
5062
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5063
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5064
5065
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5066
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5067
5068
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5069
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5070
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5071
5072
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5073
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5074
5075
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5076
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5077
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5078
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5079
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5080
5081
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5082
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5083
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5084
5085
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
5089
-----------------------
5090
5091
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5092
5093
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5094
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5095
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5096
5097
IMPROVEMENTS:
5098
5099
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5100
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5101
5102
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5103
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5104
5105
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5106
5107
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5108
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5109
5110
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5111
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5112
5113
INTERNALS:
5114
5115
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5116
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
5117
5118
BUGFIXES:
5119
5120
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5121
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5122
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5123
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5124
5125
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5126
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5127
5128
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5129
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5130
5131
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5132
(Marien Zwart)
5133
5134
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5139
-----------------------
5140
5141
SURPRISES:
5142
5143
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5144
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5145
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5146
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5147
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5148
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5149
5150
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5151
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5152
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5153
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5154
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5155
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5156
development.
5157
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5158
5159
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5160
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5161
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5162
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5163
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5164
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5165
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5166
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5167
5168
IMPROVEMENTS:
5169
5170
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5171
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5172
5173
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5174
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5175
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5176
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5177
does exist.
5178
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5179
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5180
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5181
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5182
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5183
5184
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5185
(Aaron Bentley)
5186
5187
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5188
(Aaron Bentley)
5189
5190
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5191
(Robert Collins)
5192
5193
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5194
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5195
(Aaron Bentley)
5196
5197
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5198
(Aaron Bentley)
5199
5200
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5201
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5202
5203
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5204
directory. (Martin Pool)
5205
5206
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5207
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5208
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5209
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5210
5211
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5212
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5213
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5214
in docs/configuration.txt.
5215
5216
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5217
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5218
bind location.
5219
5220
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5221
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5222
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5223
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5224
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5225
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5226
5227
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5228
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5229
5230
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5231
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5232
5233
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5234
(Aaron Bentley)
5235
5236
INTERNALS:
5237
5238
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5239
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5240
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5241
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5242
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5243
(John Arbash Meinel)
5244
5245
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5246
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5247
(Aaron Bentley)
5248
5249
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5250
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5251
(John Arbash Meinel)
5252
5253
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5254
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5255
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5256
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5257
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5258
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5259
5260
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5261
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5262
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5263
5264
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5265
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5266
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5267
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5268
repository.
5269
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5270
5271
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5272
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5273
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5274
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5275
5276
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5277
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5278
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5279
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5280
5281
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5282
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5283
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5284
5285
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5286
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5287
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5288
5289
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5290
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5291
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5292
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5293
5294
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5295
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5296
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5297
5298
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5299
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5300
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5301
5302
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5303
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5304
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5305
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5306
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5307
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5308
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5309
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5310
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5311
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5312
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5313
5314
BUGFIXES:
5315
5316
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5317
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5318
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5319
5320
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5321
(Aaron Bentley)
5322
5323
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5324
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5325
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5326
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5327
5328
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5329
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5330
#83954).
5331
5332
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5333
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5334
5335
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5336
5337
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5338
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5339
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5340
5341
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5342
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5343
5344
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5346
5347
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5349
5350
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5351
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5352
5353
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5354
5355
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5356
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5357
5358
TESTING:
5359
5360
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5361
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

5367
IMPROVEMENTS:

5369
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5370
5371
BUG FIXES:
5372
5373
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5374
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5375
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5376
5377
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5378
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5379
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

5382
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5383
-----------------------
5384
5385
IMPROVEMENTS:
5386
5387
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5388
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5389
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5390
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5391
5392
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5393
(Marius Kruger)
5394
5395
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5396
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5397
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5398
5399
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5400
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5401
5402
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5403
(Aaron Bentley)
5404
5405
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5406
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5407
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5408
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5409
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5410
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5411
5412
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5413
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5414
should enable you to do::
5415
5416
[/home/user/project]
5417
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5418
push_location:policy = appendpath
5419
5420
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5421
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5422
(James Henstridge)
5423
5424
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5425
for each file. For example::
5426
5427
$ bzr status --short
5428
A foo
5429
A bar
5430
D baz
5431
? wooley
5432
5433
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5434
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5435
5436
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5437
5438
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5439
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5440
5441
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5442
5443
INTERNALS:
5444
5445
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5446
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5447
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5448
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5449
5450
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5451
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5452
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5453
5454
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5455
5456
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5457
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5458
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5459
(Alexander Belchenko)
5460
5461
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5462
Pool)
5463
5464
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5465
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5466
5467
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5468
5469
BUG FIXES:
5470
5471
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5472
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5473
5474
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5475
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5476
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5477
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5478
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5479
5480
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5481
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5482
5483
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5484
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5485
5486
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5487
matcher.
5488
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5489
5490
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5491
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5492
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5493
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5494
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5495
5496
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5497
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5498
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5499
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5500
5501
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5502
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5503
5504
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5505
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5506
5507
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5508
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

-----------------------
5521
5522
IMPROVEMENTS:
5523
5524
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5525
tree from a branch.
5526
(Daniel Silverstone)
5527
5528
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5529
operations are substantially faster.
5530
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5531
5532
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5533
tree from some other url. For example:
5534
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5535
(Daniel Silverstone)
5536
5537
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5538
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5539
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5540
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5541
5542
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5543
(Andrew Bennetts)
5544
5545
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5546
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5547
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5548
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5549
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5550
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5551
5552
INTERNALS:
5553
5554
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5555
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5556
(Martin Pool)
5557
5558
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5559
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5560
(John Arbash Meinel)
5561
5562
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5563
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5564
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5565
(John Arbash Meinel)
5566
5567
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5568
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5569
5570
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5571
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5572
5573
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5574
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5575
Bennetts)
5576
5577
BUG FIXES:
5578
5579
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5580
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5581
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5582
5583
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5584
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5585
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5586
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5587
5588
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5589
5590
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5591
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5592
5593
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5594
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5595
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5597
5598
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5599
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5600
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5601
5602
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5603
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5604
them as full references rather than integers.
5605
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5606
5607
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5608
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5609
5610
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5611
5612
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5613
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5614
5615
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5616
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5617
5618
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5619
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5620
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5621
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5622
5623
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5624
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5625
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5626
5627
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5628
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5629
5630
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5631
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5632
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5633
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5634
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5635
5636
TESTING:
5637
5638
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5639
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5640
5641
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
5642
--------------------
5643
5644
INTERNALS:
5645
5646
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5647
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5648
(John Arbash Meinel)
5649
5650
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5651
-----------------------
5652
5653
IMPROVEMENTS:
5654
5655
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5656
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5657
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5658
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5659
5660
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5661
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5662
5663
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5664
5665
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5666
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5667
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5668
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5669
5670
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5671
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5672
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5673
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5674
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5675
5676
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5677
5678
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5679
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5680
5681
INTERNALS:
5682
5683
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5684
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5685
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5686
5687
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5688
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5689
(John Arbash Meinel)
5690
5691
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5692
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5693
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5694
5695
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5696
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5697
(Aaron Bentley)
5698
5699
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5700
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5701
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5702
5703
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5704
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5705
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5706
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5707
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5708
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5709
5710
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5711
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5712
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5713
(Robert Collins)
5714
5715
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5716
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5717
5718
BUG FIXES:
5719
5720
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5721
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5722
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5723
#63360, #66349)
5724
5725
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5726
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5727
5728
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5729
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5730
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5731
5732
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5733
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5734
5735
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5736
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5737
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5738
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5739
5740
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5741
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5742
5743
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5744
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5745
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5746
5747
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5748
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5749
5750
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5751
5752
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5753
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5754
#32054)
5755
5756
TESTING:
5757
5758
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5759
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5760
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5761
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5762
5763
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5764
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5765
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5766
5767
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
5768
--------------------
5769
5770
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5771
5772
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5773
-----------------------
5774
5775
BUG FIXES:
5776
5777
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5778
5779
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5780
Arbash Meinel).
5781
5782
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5783
-----------------------
5784
5785
IMPROVEMENTS:
5786
5787
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5788
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5789
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5790
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5791
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5792
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5793
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5794
5795
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5796
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5797
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5798
5799
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5800
5801
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5802
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5803
5804
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5805
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5806
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5807
(Robert Collins)
5808
5809
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5810
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5811
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5812
(John Arbash Meinel)
5813
5814
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5815
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5816
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5817
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5818
Pool)
5819
5820
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5821
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5822
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5823
(John Arbash Meinel)
5824
5825
BUG FIXES:
5826
5827
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5828
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5829
5830
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5831
5832
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5833
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5834
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5835
5836
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5837
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5838
5839
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5840
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5841
5842
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5844
5845
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5846
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5847
5848
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5849
5850
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5851
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5852
5853
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5854
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5855
5856
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5857
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5858
5859
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5860
(John Arbash Meinel)
5861
5862
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5863
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5864
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5865
5866
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5867
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5868
5869
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5870
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5871
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5872
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5873
5874
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5875
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5876
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5877
5878
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5879
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5880
5881
PORTABILITY:
5882
5883
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5884
5885
INTERNALS:
5886
5887
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5888
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5889
(John Arbash Meinel)
5890
5891
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5892
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5893
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5894
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5895
5896
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5897
(Andrew Bennetts)
5898
5899
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5900
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5901
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5902
5903
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5904
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5905
5906
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5907
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5908
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5909
5910
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5911
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5912
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5913
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5914
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5915
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5916
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5917
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5918
caller to repeat their request.
5919
(John Arbash Meinel)
5920
5921
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5922
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5923
5924
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5925
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5926
5927
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5928
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5929
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5930
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5931
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5932
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5933
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5934
5935
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5936
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5937
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5938
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5939
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5940
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5941
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5942
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5943
(Robert Collins)
5944
5945
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5946
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5947
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5948
5949
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5950
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5951
5952
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5953
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5954
5955
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5956
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5957
5958
TESTING:
5959
5960
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5961
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5962
5963
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5964
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5965
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5966
5967
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5968
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5969
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5972
--------------------
5973
5974
IMPROVEMENTS:
5975
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5976
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5977
5978
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5979
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5980
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5981
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5982
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5983
5984
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5985
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5986
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5987
5988
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5989
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5990
5991
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5992
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5993
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5994
5995
BUG FIXES:
5996
5997
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5998
5999
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6000
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6001
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6002
6003
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6004
6005
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6006
6007
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6008
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6009
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6010
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6011
6012
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6013
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6014
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6015
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6016
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6017
6018
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6019
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6020
6021
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6022
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6023
6024
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6025
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6026
6027
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6028
in handling of revision properties.
6029
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6030
6031
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6032
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6033
6034
INTERNALS:
6035
6036
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6037
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6038
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6039
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6040
(John Arbash Meinel)
6041
6042
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6043
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6044
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6045
6046
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6047
---------------------
6048
6049
SURPRISES:
6050
6051
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6052
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6053
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6054
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6055
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6056
a more conservative list than the old default.
6057
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6058
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6059
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6060
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6061
6062
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6063
to more locations than just branch locations.
6064
(Aaron Bentley)
6065
6066
IMPROVEMENTS:
6067
6068
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6069
revno:N:branch. For example,
6070
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6071
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4
6072
5
6073
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6074
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7
6075
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8
6076
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
9
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
6077
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10
6078
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11
6079
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
12
6080
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
13
#42517, #42514)
6081
#42517, #42514)
14
6082
15
6083
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
16
6084
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
25
6093
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
26
6094
(Robert Collins).
27
6095
28
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6096
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
29
6097
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
30
6098
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6099
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6100
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6101
(John Arbash Meinel)
31
6102
32
6103
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
33
6104
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
39
6110
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
40
6111
41
6112
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
42
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6113
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
43
6114
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
44
6115
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
45
6116
file. (Robert Collins).
51
6122
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
52
6123
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
53
6124
Matthieu Moy)
54
6125
6126
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6127
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6128
6129
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6130
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6131
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6132
the same way you would apply another branch.
6133
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6134
6135
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6136
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6137
6138
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6139
(Michael Ellerman)
6140
6141
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6142
(Aaron Bentley)
6143
6144
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6145
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6146
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6147
6148
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6149
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6150
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6151
6152
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6153
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6154
6155
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6156
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6157
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6158
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6159
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6160
6161
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6162
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6163
6164
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6165
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6166
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6167
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6168
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6169
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6170
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6171
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6172
6173
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6174
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6175
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
55
6176
56
6177
BUG FIXES:
57
6178
58
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
59
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
60
Martin Pool)
6179
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6180
tests not to run.
6181
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
61
6182
62
6183
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
63
6184
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
64
6185
6186
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6187
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6188
6189
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6190
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6191
6192
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6193
6194
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6195
(John Arbash Meinel)
6196
6197
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6198
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6199
6200
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6201
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6202
and y.
6203
6204
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6205
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6206
6207
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6208
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6209
6210
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6211
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6212
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6213
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6214
6215
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6216
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6217
6218
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6219
6220
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6221
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6222
6223
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6224
6225
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6226
6227
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6228
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6229
6230
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6231
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6232
6233
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6234
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6235
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6236
6237
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6238
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6239
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6240
6241
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6242
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6243
6244
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6245
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6246
6247
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6248
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6249
6250
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6251
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6252
6253
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6254
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6255
6256
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6257
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6258
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6259
6260
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6261
6262
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6263
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6264
65
6265
INTERNALS:
66
6266
67
6267
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
68
6268
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
69
6269
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
70
6270
6271
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6272
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6273
71
6274
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
72
6275
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
73
6276
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
74
6277
75
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6278
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
76
6279
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
77
6280
6281
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6282
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6283
(Martin Pool)
6284
78
6285
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
79
6286
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
80
6287
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
81
6288
82
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
6289
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
83
6290
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
84
6291
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
85
6292
86
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
6293
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
87
6294
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
88
6295
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
89
6296
6297
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6298
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6299
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6300
6301
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6302
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6303
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6304
6305
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6306
instead. (Robert Collins)
6307
6308
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
146
6369
147
6370
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
148
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6371
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local

and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
150
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6373
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
151
6374
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
152
6375
will keep the same format.
153
6376
157
6380
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
158
6381
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
159
6382
160
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6383
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
161
6384
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
162
6385
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
163
6386
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
169
6392
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
170
6393
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
171
6394
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
172
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6395
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
173
6396
174
6397
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
175
6398
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
176
6399
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
177
6400
arrangement.

IMPROVEMENTS:
181
6404
182
6405
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
183
convention. Paths now take the form:

185
or
186
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path

reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
193
6417
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
194
6418
