:2.3b1: NOT RELEASED YET
17
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
18
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
19
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
20
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
21
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
23
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
24
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
26
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
30
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
31
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
34
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
35
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
36
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
39
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
40
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
42
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
44
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
45
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
46
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
47
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
48
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
50
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
51
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
54
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
55
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
62
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
63
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
65
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
66
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
67
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
68
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
69
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
71
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
72
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
73
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
74
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
79
* Allow using both --using and --diff-options.
80
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
82
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
83
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
85
(Martin Pool, #192859)
87
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
88
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
90
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
92
* ``clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
93
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
94
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
96
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
97
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
99
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
100
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
102
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
103
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
105
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
106
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
107
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
108
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
109
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
111
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
112
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
114
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
115
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
117
* Errors occurring during http(s) test server starts should now be
118
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
120
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
121
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
122
(Martin Pool, #192859)
124
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
125
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
127
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
128
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
130
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
131
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
132
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
134
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
135
(Martin Pool, #98735)
137
* ``PQM`` will no longer ignore syntax errors in submissions.
138
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
140
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
141
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
142
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
143
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
145
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
146
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
152
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
153
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
154
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
155
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).
156
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
158
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
159
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
162
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
163
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
164
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
165
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
166
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
169
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
170
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
171
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
173
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
174
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
175
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
177
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
178
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
179
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
180
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
181
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
182
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
187
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
188
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
189
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
191
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
192
to make the tests conditional.
195
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
196
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
197
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
202
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
203
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
204
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
205
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
208
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
209
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
210
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
212
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
213
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
214
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
215
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
216
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
217
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
218
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
219
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
221
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
222
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
224
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
225
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
231
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
237
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
238
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
240
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
241
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
242
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
243
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
244
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
245
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
246
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
253
:2.2.1: NOT RELEASED YET
258
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
259
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
260
marked versioned too.
261
(Martin Pool, #192859)
263
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
264
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
266
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
267
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
269
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
270
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
271
(Martin Pool, #192859)
276
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
277
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
278
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
283
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
293
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
294
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
295
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
296
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
297
supported for another 6 months.)
299
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
300
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
302
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
303
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
304
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
305
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
306
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
307
readonly operations).
309
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
314
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
315
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
316
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
317
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
318
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
320
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
321
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
322
macrobenchmark suite.
328
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
329
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
331
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
333
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
334
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
337
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
338
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
340
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
341
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
343
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
344
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
345
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
346
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
348
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
349
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
354
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
355
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
357
* Add py2exe windows target ``bzrw.exe``. This allow for starting a Bazaar
358
GUI with out have a console open in the background.
359
(Gary van der Merwe, #433781)
364
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
365
points to Python regular expression documentation.
366
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
371
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
376
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
377
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
378
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
383
:Codename: Monkey Magic
387
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
388
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
389
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
390
stable and compatible plugin versions.
392
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
393
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
396
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
397
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
403
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
404
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
405
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
406
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
407
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
408
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
410
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
411
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
412
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
413
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
416
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
417
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
418
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
425
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
426
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
427
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
432
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
433
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
434
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
436
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
437
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
438
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
440
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
441
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
443
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
444
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
445
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
447
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
448
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
449
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
451
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
452
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
454
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
455
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
457
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
458
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
460
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
461
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
463
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
464
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
465
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
467
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
468
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
469
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
471
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
472
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
473
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
474
(Robert Collins, #177500)
476
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
477
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
478
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
480
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
482
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
483
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
485
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
486
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
488
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
489
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
492
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
493
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
494
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
495
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
496
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
498
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
499
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
500
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
501
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
503
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
504
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
506
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
507
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
508
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
509
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
514
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
515
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
516
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
518
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
519
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
520
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
521
(Robert Collins, #201613)
523
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
524
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
525
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
526
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
527
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
529
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
530
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
531
(Martin Pool, #340394)
533
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
534
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
535
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
536
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
542
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
544
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
545
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
546
development). (Robert Collins)
548
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
549
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
554
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
555
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
556
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
557
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
559
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
560
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
561
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
564
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
565
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
566
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
568
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
569
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
570
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
573
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
574
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
575
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
577
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
578
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
579
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
580
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
581
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
583
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
584
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
585
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
590
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
591
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
592
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
593
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
596
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
598
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
599
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
600
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
602
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
603
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
609
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
610
to test. (Martin Pool)
612
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.
613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #595587)
620
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
621
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
622
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
623
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
624
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
625
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
626
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
627
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
633
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
634
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
635
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
636
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
637
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
638
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
641
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
642
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
643
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
645
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
646
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
647
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
649
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
650
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
651
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
656
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
658
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
660
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
661
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
662
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
663
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
665
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
666
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
668
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
670
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
671
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
672
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
674
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
675
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
676
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
677
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
678
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
680
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
681
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
682
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
683
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
685
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
686
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
687
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
694
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
695
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
696
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
698
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
699
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
701
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
703
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
704
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
705
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
707
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
708
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
710
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
711
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
715
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
716
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
717
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
718
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
719
(Robert Collins, #583667)
721
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
722
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
723
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
725
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
726
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
728
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
731
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
734
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
735
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
736
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
738
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
740
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
741
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
743
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
745
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
747
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
748
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
749
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
751
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
752
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
754
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
755
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
756
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
758
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
759
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
760
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
761
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
763
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
764
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
765
to support this efficiently.
766
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
768
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
770
(Martin Pool, #491763)
772
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
773
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
775
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
776
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
778
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
779
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
781
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
783
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
784
(Robert Collins, #558343)
786
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
787
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
788
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
789
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
794
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
795
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
796
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
797
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
798
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
799
(case-sensitive) as false.
800
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
802
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
803
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
804
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
806
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
807
be interpreted as a boolean.
810
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
811
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
812
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
813
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
814
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
819
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
820
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
823
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
824
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
825
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
826
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
827
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
831
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
832
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
833
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
834
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
835
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
836
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
838
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
839
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
840
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
841
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
842
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
843
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
844
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
849
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
850
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
851
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
852
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
854
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
857
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
858
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
859
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
860
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
862
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
864
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
865
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
866
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
867
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
869
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
870
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
871
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #566923)
876
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
877
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
880
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
881
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
883
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
884
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
885
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
887
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
888
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.
896
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
897
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
898
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
899
of these would be welcome.
905
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
906
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
911
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
912
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
913
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
914
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
915
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
917
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
918
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
919
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
920
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
922
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
923
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
925
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
926
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
927
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
929
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
930
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
932
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
935
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
938
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
939
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
940
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
942
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
943
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
944
which is not installed any more" error.
945
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
947
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
948
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
949
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
950
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
953
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
954
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
958
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
959
(Martin von Gagern, #387117)
964
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
965
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
966
(Robert Collins, #530265)
968
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
969
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
972
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
975
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
978
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
979
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
980
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
981
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
982
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
984
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
985
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
986
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
988
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
990
(Martin Pool, #553017)
995
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
996
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
999
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
1000
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
1005
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
1006
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
1007
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
1008
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
1016
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1017
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1018
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1019
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1021
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1022
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1023
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1024
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1025
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1026
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1027
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1028
through the 2.2 series.
1030
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1031
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1032
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1034
Compatibility Breaks
1035
********************
1037
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1038
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1040
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
1041
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
1044
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1045
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1047
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1048
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1050
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
1051
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
1052
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
1053
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
1054
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
1057
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
1058
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
1059
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1064
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
1065
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
1067
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
1068
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
1069
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1071
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
1072
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
1073
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
1074
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
1075
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
1077
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
1078
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
1081
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
1082
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
1083
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
1085
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
1086
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
1087
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
1088
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
1089
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
1090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
1092
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
1093
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
1096
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
1097
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
1098
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
1101
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
1102
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
1107
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
1108
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
1110
* Allow additional arguments to
1111
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1113
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1114
(Michal Junák, #511987)
1116
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1117
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1118
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1119
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1121
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1124
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1125
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1127
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1128
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
1130
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1133
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1134
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1135
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1137
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1138
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1139
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1140
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1141
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1143
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1144
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1147
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1148
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1150
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1151
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1154
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1155
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1156
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1158
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1159
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1161
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1163
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1164
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1166
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1167
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1168
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1170
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1171
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1174
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1177
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1178
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1179
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1181
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1182
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1183
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1184
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1186
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1188
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1189
deletion is involved.
1190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1192
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1193
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1194
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1196
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1197
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1198
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1200
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1201
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1203
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1204
the debugger won't kill the session.
1205
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1207
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1208
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1210
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1211
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1212
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1214
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
1215
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
1220
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
1221
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1224
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1225
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1227
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1228
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1230
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1231
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1232
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1233
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1235
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1236
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1237
to be done separately.
1238
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1240
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1241
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1244
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
1245
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1247
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
1248
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
1250
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
1253
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
1259
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
1260
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
1262
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1263
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
1264
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1266
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1267
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1268
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1269
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1272
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
1273
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
1275
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
1276
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1278
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
1279
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
1285
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
1286
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
1287
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
1289
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
1292
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
1293
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
1296
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
1297
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
1298
dependency regressions.
1301
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1302
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
1304
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1305
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
1307
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1308
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1309
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1310
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1311
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1312
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)

1318
:2.1.3: NOT RELEASED YET
1320
Compatibility Breaks
1321
********************
1329
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
1330
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
1331
marked versioned too.
1332
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1334
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
1335
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
1336
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
1338
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
1339
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
1341
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1342
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1343
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1345
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1346
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1347
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1348
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
1350
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
1351
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
1352
and the progress message. (Martin Pool)
1354
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1355
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1357
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
1358
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
1363
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
1364
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
1369
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
1370
points to Python regular expression documentation.
1371
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
1376
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
1384
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
1385
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
1386
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
1393
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
1394
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
1395
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
1400
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1401
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1402
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1404
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1405
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1407
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1408
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1409
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1411
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1413
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1414
versions before 1.6.
1415
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1417
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1418
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1419
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1420
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1423
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1424
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1426
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1427
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1429
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1430
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1431
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1432
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1437
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1438
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1439
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1440
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1442
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1450
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
1451
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
1456
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1457
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1458
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1459
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1461
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1462
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1464
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
1466
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1469
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1470
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1472
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1474
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1475
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1476
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1478
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1479
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1480
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1481
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1482
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1484
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1485
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1487
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1488
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
1489
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
1494
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1496
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
1498
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
1499
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
1504
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1505
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1506
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1507
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1513
:Codename: Strasbourg
1516
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
1517
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
1518
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
1520
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
1521
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
1522
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
1523
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
1524
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
1525
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
1527
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
1532
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
1533
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
1535
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
1536
(Martin Pool, #513432)
1538
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
1539
when it encounters conflicts.
1540
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
1542
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
1543
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
1545
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
1546
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
1547
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
1548
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
1549
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
1550
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1552
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
1553
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
1554
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
1559
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
1565
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
1566
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1569
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
1570
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
1573
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
1574
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1576
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
1577
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
1578
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
1579
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
1580
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
1581
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
1582
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
1583
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
1585
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
1587
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
1592
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
1593
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
1594
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
1596
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
1601
* The ``remove_index`` method of
1602
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
1603
argument. This argument was always ignored.
1604
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1609
:Codename: after the bubbles
1610
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
1612
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
1613
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
1618
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
1619
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
1620
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
1621
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
1622
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
1623
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
1624

:Codename: the 'new' stable
1631
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
1633
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
1634
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
1635
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
1636
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
1637
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
1638
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
1639
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
1640
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
1641
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
1647
* Add bug information to log output when available.
1648
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
1650
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
1651
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
1654
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
1655
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
1656
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
1659
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
1660
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
1662
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
1663
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
1665
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
1666
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
1667
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
1669
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
1670
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
1671
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
1672
Martin Pool, #45719)
1674
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
1675
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
1676
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
1678
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
1679
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
1680
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
1681
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
1682
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
1683
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
1685
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
1686
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
1687
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
1688
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
1689
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
1694
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
1695
user-specified commit message editor.
1696
(Martin Pool, #504842)
1698
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
1699
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
1700
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
1702
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
1703
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
1704
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
1706
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
1707
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
1709
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1710
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1711
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1712
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1713
another process already removed the file.
1714
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1716
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
1717
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
1719
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
1720
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
1721
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
1723
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
1724
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
1726
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
1727
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
1729
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
1730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
1732
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
1733
(Martin Pool, #320035)
1735
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
1736
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
1737
depended on this behaviour.
1738
(Martin Pool, #499757)
1740
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
1741
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
1742
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
1743
should appear up-to-date.)
1744
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
1749
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
1750
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
1751
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
1752
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
1754
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
1755
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
1757
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
1758
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
1759
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1761
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
1762
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
1763
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1765
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
1766
(__monty__, #257170)
1768
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
1769
Bazaar is doing network IO.
1775
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
1776
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
1778
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
1779
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
1781
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
1782
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
1784
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
1785
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
1787
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
1788
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
1789
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1791
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
1794
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
1795
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
1801
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
1804
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
1805
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
1806
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
1807
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1809
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1810
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1811
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1813
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1814
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1816
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1817
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1818
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1819
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1821
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1827
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1828
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1829
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1831
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1832
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1833
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1834
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1836
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1837
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1842
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1843
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1844
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1845
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1846
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1848
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1849
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1850
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1851
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
1852
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1853
suite. (Robert Collins)
1855
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1856
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1857
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1859
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1860
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
1866
:2.0.6: NOT RELEASED YET
1871
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
1872
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
1873
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1875
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
1876
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
1877
marked versioned too.
1878
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1880
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
1881
target of the symlink.
1882
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
1884
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
1885
both working tree and branch.
1886
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
1888
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1889
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1890
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1892
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
1893
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
1895
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1896
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1897
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1899
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1900
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1901
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1902
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
1904
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1905
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1907
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1908
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1910
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1911
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1912
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1913
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1914
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1916
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1917
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1918
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1919
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1921
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1922
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1923
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1924
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1930
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
1931
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1939
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
1940
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
1941
earlier 2.0 releases.
1946
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1947
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1949
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1950
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1951
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1952
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1953
another process already removed the file.
1954
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1956
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1957
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1959
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1961
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
1962
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
1963
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
1965
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
1967
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
1968
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
1970
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
1971
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
1972
``UnboundLocalError``.
1973
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1975
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
1976
version number along with rest of the help text.
1977
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
1979
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
1981
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
1986
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
1987
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
1989
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1990
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1996
:Codename: smooth sailing
1999
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
2000
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
2001
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
2002
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
2008
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
2009
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
2011
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
2012
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
2013
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
2014
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
2016
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
2017
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
2018
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
2019
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
2020
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
2022
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
2023
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
2024
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
2026
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
2027
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
2028
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
2029
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
2031
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
2032
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
2034
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
2035
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
2036
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
2037
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
2038
(Martin Pool, #456077)
2040
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
2041
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
2042
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
2043
users, rather than something nicer.
2044
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
2046
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
2047
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
2049
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
2050
build. (there is still the distutils bug
2051
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
2053
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
2054
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
2055
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
2057
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
2058
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
2059
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
2060
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
2061
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
2063
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
2064
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
2065
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
2070
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
2071
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
2072
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
2073
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
2082
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
2083
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
2084
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
2085
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
2086
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
2087
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
2090
Compatibility Breaks
2091
********************
2093
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
2094
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
2095
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
2096
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
2097
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
2102
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
2103
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
2105
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
2106
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
2108
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
2109
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
2111
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
2112
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
2113
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
2114
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
2118
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
2119
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
2127
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
2128
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
2129
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
2131
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
2132
and issues a warning.
2133
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
2135
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
2137
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
2138
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
2140
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
2141
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
2142
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
2143
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
2145
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
2147
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
2148
(Robert Collins, #84659)
2150
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
2152
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
2153
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
2155
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
2157
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
2158
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2160
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
2161
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
2162
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
2163
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
2165
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
2166
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
2168
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
2169
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
2171
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
2172
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
2173
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
2175
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
2176
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
2177
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
2178
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
2180
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
2181
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
2182
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
2184
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
2185
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
2186
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
2187
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
2189
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
2190
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
2191
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
2197
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2199
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
2200
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2202
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
2203
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
2204
(John Arbash Meinel)
2206
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
2207
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
2210
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
2211
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
2212
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
2213
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
2214
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
2219
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
2225
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
2227
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
2228
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
2229
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
2235
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
2236
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2237
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2238
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2240
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2241
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2242
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2243
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2244
(John Arbash Meinel)
2246
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2247
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2248
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2249
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2250
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
2251
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2256
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
2257
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
2263
:Codename: little italy
2267
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
2268
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
2274
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
2275
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
2276
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
2278
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
2279
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
2281
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
2282
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
2283
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
2284
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
2286
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2292
:Codename: after sprint recovery
2293
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
2295
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
2296
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
2297
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
2298
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
2300
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
2301
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
2302
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
2303
formats for Remote objects.
2309
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
2310
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
2315
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
2317
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
2319
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
2320
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
2322
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2324
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
2325
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2326
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2327
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2328
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
2329
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2331
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2332
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2333
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
2334
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2336
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2337
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2339
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2340
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2342
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2343
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2344
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2345
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2346
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2347
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2348
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2350
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
2351
(Alexander Belchenko)
2353
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
2354
Python level. (Martin Pool)
2359
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
2361
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
2362
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
2363
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
2365
(Martin Pool, 493944)
2370
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
2371
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
2372
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
2377
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
2378
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
2380
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2381
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2383
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2384
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2386
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2387
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2389
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2390
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2391
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2392
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2394
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2395
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2397
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2398
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2399
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2400
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2402
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2403
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2404
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2405
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
2412
:Codename: a load off my mind
2413
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2415
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2416
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2418
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2419
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2420
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2421
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2422
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2425
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2426
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2427
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2428
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2429
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2430
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
2435
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2436
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2438
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2439
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2440
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2441
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2443
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2444
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2446
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2447
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2448
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2449
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2451
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2452
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2454
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
2455
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
2460
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2461
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2462
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2463
(John Arbash Meinel)
2465
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
2466
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
2467
(John Arbash Meinel)
2472
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2473
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
2478
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
2480
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
2481
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
2487
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2488
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2489
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2490
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2491
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2492
(John Arbash Meinel)
2494
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2495
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2496
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2497
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2498
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2499
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2500
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2501
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2502
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2504
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2505
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2506
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2507
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2508
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2509
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2510
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2512
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2513
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2514
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2515
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
2521
:Codename: after the scare
2524
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
2525
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
2526
changes or features.
2531
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
2532
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
2534
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
2537
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2539
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
2540
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
2541
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
2543
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
2544
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
2546
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
2547
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
2549
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
2550
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
2555
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
2556
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
2561
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2562
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
2568
:Codename: While the cat is away
2569
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
2571
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
2572
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
2573
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
2574
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
2575
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
2576
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
2577
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
2579
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
2580
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
2581
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
2582
error handling during unlocking.
2588
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
2591
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
2592
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
2593
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
2594
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
2595
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
2596
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
2598
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
2599
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
2600
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
2602
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
2603
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
2606
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
2607
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
2608
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
2610
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
2611
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
2614
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
2615
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
2616
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
2621
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2622
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2623
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2624
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2625
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2626
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2627
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2629
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2630
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2631
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2633
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2634
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
2635
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
2636
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
2638
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
2639
merges are present in the working tree.
2640
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
2642
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2643
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2645
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
2646
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
2648
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
2649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
2651
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
2652
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
2653
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
2655
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2656
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2658
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
2659
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
2661
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
2662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
2664
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
2665
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
2666
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
2671
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
2672
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
2673
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
2675
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
2676
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
2677
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
2678
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
2679
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
2680
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
2681
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
2682
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
2684
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
2685
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
2686
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
2687
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
2688
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
2693
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2695
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2696
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2701
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
2702
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2704
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
2705
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
2707
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
2708
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
2709
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
2711
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
2714
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
2715
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
2716
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
2717
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
2718
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
2720
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
2722
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
2728
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
2729
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
2732
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
2733
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
2734
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
2735
(John Arbash Meinel)
2737
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
2738
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
2744
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
2745
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
2747
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
2748
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
2750
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
2751
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
2754
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
2756
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
2758
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
2759
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
2761
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
2762
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
2763
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2765
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
2766
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
2767
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
2768
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
2769
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
2771
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
2772
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
2774
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
2775
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
2781
:Codename: Stability First
2784
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
2785
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
2786
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
2792
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2793
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2794
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2796
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
2797
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
2798
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
2800
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
2801
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
2802
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
2804
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
2805
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
2807
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
2808
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
2809
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
2810
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
2811
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
2813
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
2814
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
2816
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
2817
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
2818
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
2819
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
2821
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
2822
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
2823
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
2825
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
2826
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
2827
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
2828
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
2829
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
2830
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
2831
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
2833
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
2834
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2836
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
2837
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
2838
to download the entire cix file many times.
2839
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
2841
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
2842
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
2847
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2849
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
2857
:Codename: Instant Karma
2859
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2860
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2861
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2862
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2863

This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2867
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2869
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2870
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2871
months or until the following stable release.
2873
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2874
******************************
2876
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2877
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2878
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2879
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2885
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
2890
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
2891
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
2892
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
2897
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2898
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2899
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2900
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2901
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2902
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2903
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2905
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2906
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2907
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2909
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2910
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2912
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
2913
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
2914
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2916
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2917
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2919
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2920
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2921
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2922
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2923
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2924
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2925
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2927
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2928
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2929
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2930
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2931
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2932
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2934
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2935
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2936
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2938
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2939
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2940
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2942
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2943
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2944
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2946
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2947
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2949
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2950
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2951
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
2952
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
2957
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
2958
older smart servers.
2959
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
2961
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2962
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2964
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
2965
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
2966
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
2968
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
2969
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
2970
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
2972
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
2973
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2979
:Codename: no worries
2980
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
2982
Compatibility Breaks
2983
********************
2985
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
2986
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
2987
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
2988
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
2989
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
2991
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
2992
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
2993
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
2994
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
2999
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
3000
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3005
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3006
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3008
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
3009
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
3010
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
3011
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
3012
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
3014
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
3015
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
3016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
3018
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
3019
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
3021
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
3022
(Martin Pool, #286871)
3024
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
3025
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
3026
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
3028
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
3029
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
3030
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
3031
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
3036
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
3037
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
3038
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3040
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
3041
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
3042
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
3043
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
3045
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
3047
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
3048
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
3050
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
3051
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3053
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
3054
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
3055
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
3057
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
3058
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
3059
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
3060
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
3061
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
3062
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
3067
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
3073
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
3074
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
3075
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
3083
:Codename: nein nein nein!
3086
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
3087
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
3088
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
3089
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
3090
pushing to older servers.
3095
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
3096
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
3097
(Martin Pool, #415508)
3099
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
3100
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
3101
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
3106
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
3107
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
3109
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
3110
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3115
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
3116
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
3117
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
3119
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
3120
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
3121
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
3123
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
3124
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
3125
should be used. (Robert Collins)
3130
Compatibility Breaks
3131
********************
3133
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
3134
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
3135
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
3136
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
3137
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
3145
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
3146
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
3147
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
3148
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
3149
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
3151
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
3152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
3154
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
3155
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
3157
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3158
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3160
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
3161
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
3162
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
3163
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
3165
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
3166
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
3167
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
3169
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
3170
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
3172
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
3173
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
3174
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
3175
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
3180
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
3181
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
3182
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3184
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
3185
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
3186
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
3187
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
3188
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
3190
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
3191
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
3192
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
3193
(John Arbash Meinel)
3204
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
3205
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
3206
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
3207
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
3208
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
3209
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
3211
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
3212
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
3213
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
3214
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
3216
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
3217
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
3218
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
3219
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
3220
(John Arbash Meinel)
3222
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
3223
protocols. (Robert Collins)
3225
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
3226
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
3227
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
3228
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
3234
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
3235
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

3243
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
3245
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
3246
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
3247
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
3248
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
3249
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
3250
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
3252
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3253
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
3254
or until the following stable release.
3256
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
3261
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
3262
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
3264
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
3265
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
3266
(Martin Pool, #391411)
3271
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
3272
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
3273
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
3275
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
3276
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
3277
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
3278
(Martin Pool, #123688)
3280
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
3281
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
3282
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3283
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3285
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3286
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3288
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3289
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3290
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3291
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3293
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3294
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3296
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3297
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3299
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3300
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3301
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3302
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3303
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3305
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3306
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3307
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3309
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3310
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3311
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3312
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3313
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3315
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3316
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3318
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3319
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3320
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3322
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3323
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3324
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3326
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3327
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3329
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3330
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3331
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3333
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3334
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3336
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3337
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3339
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3340
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3342
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3343
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3344
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3346
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3347
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3348
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3350
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3352
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3353
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3355
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3356
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3357
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3358
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3359
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3360
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3362
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3363
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3364
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3366
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3367
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3368
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3369
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3371
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3372
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3373
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3374
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3375
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3377
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3378
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
3379
(Robert Collins, #187207)
3384
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3387
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3388
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3389
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3390
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3392
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3393
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
3394
(John Arbash Meinel)
3399
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3404
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
3405
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
3406
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
3407
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
3408
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
3409
passwords. (Martin Pool)
3411
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
3414
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
3417
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
3421
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
3422
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
3427
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
3428
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
3429
paths. (Robert Collins)
3431
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
3432
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
3434
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
3435
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
3436
disk. (Robert Collins)
3438
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3439
it. (Robert Collins)
3441
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3442
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
3443
(Alexander Belchenko)
3449
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
3450
(Martin Pool, #409684)
3452
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3453
(Martin Pool, #408199)
3455
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
3456
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
3457
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
3458
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
3459
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
3460
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

3469
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3470
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3471
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
3481
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
3482
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
3485
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
3486
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
3487
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
3488
annoying progress bar artifacts.
3491
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
3492
*********************************
3494
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
3495
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
3496
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
3498
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
3499
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
3500
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
3502
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
3503
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
3506
Compatibility Breaks
3507
********************
3509
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
3510
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
3511
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
3512
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
3518
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3519
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3520
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
3521
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
3523
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
3524
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
3525
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3527
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3528
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
3529
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
3531
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
3533
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
3534
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
3535
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
3536
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3542
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3543
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3545
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3546
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3547
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3548
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3550
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3551
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3553
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3554
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3555
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3557
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3558
(Martin Pool, #321935)
3560
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3561
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3563
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3564
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3566
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3567
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3568
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
3570
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
3573
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
3574
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
3576
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
3577
of a remote repository.
3578
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
3580
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
3581
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
3584
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
3586
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
3588
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
3589
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
3591
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
3592
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
3594
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
3595
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
3596
(Martin Pool, #339385)
3598
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
3599
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
3600
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
3601
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
3602
(John Arbash Meinel)
3604
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
3605
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
3606
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
3608
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
3609
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
3610
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
3611
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
3612
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
3613
(Robert Collins, #376243)
3615
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
3616
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
3617
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
3618
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
3619
activity display respectively.
3620
(Martin Pool, #340347)
3622
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
3623
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
3625
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
3628
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
3629
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
3635
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
3636
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
3637
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
3638
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
3640
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
3641
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
3642
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
3643
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
3646
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
3647
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
3649
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
3650
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
3651
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
3652
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
3653
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
3654
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3656
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
3657
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
3658
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
3659
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
3661
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
3662
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
3663
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
3664
(John Arbash Meinel)
3667
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
3668
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
3669
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
3670
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
3676
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
3677
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
3678
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
3679
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3681
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
3682
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
3683
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
3685
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
3688
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
3689
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
3691
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
3692
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
3693
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3695
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
3696
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
3697
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
3698
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3700
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
3706
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
3707
formatting in the user reference.
3708
(Martin Pool, #249908)
3710
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
3716
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
3719
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
3720
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
3721
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
3727
:Released: 2009-06-26
3729
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
3730
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
3731
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
3734
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
3735
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
3736
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
3738
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
3739
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
3744
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
3745
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3747
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
3748
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
3749
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
3751
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
3752
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
3753
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
3754
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
3755
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
3756
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
3757
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3759
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
3760
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
3761
converted data. (Robert Collins)
3763
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
3764
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
3765
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
3767
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
3768
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
3769
that. (Robert Collins)
3771
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
3772
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
3773
repository. (Robert Collins)
3775
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
3776
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
3777
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
3778
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

3788
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
3789
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
3790
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
3791
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
3793
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
3794
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
3795
bug fixes and improvements.
3798
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
3799
*********************************
3801
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
3802
2a can work correctly.
3803
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
3805
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3806
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3807
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3810
Compatibility Breaks
3811
********************
3813
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
3814
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
3815
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
3821
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
3822
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
3823
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
3824
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
3825
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
3826
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
3829
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
3830
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
3831
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
3832
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
3834
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
3835
and more concisely repacks the full history.
3837
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
3838
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
3840
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
3841
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
3842
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3844
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
3845
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
3851
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
3852
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
3853
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3855
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3856
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3857
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3858
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3859
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3861
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3862
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3863
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3864
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3866
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3867
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3873
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3874
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
3875
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
3876
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3882
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
3883
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
3885
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3886
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
3888
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3889
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3890
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3892
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3893
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3895
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3896
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3897
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3899
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3900
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3901
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3902
(John Arbash Meinel)
3904
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
3905
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
3907
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
3908
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
3910
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
3911
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3913
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
3914
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
3915
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
3916
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
3917
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3918
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3920
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
3922
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
3923
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
3925
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3926
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3928
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3929
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3930
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3931
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3932
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3934
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3935
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3936
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3937
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3942
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
3943
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
3944
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
3949
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
3951
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
3952
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
3953
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3955
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
3956
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
3957
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
3959
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
3960
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3962
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
3963
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
3968
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
3969
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3974
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
3975
(Martin Pool, #386180)
3977
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
3979

The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
3991
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
3992
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
3993
revisions introduce the exact same line.

*********************************
4004
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
4005
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
4006
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
4007
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

Compatibility Breaks
4015
********************
4017
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
4018
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
4019
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
4020
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
4025
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
4026
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
4029
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
4030
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
4031
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
4032
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
4034
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
4035
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
4036
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
4037
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
4039
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
4040
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
4043
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
4044
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
4045
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4050
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
4051
server. (Jonathan Lange)
4053
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
4054
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
4056
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
4057
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
4058
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
4060
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
4065
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
4066
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
4068
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
4070
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
4071
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
4073
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
4074
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
4076
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
4077
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
4079
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
4080
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
4081
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
4082
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
4084
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
4085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
4087
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4088
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4090
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
4091
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
4093
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
4094
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
4096
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
4097
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
4099
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
4100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
4102
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
4103
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4105
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
4106
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
4107
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
4108
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
4109
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
4110
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
4111
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
4112
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
4113
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
4114
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
4115
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
4116
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
4117
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
4118
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
4120
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
4121
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
4122
(Robert Collins, #368921)
4124
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
4125
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
4133
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
4134
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
4135
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
4137
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
4138
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
4139
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
4140
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
4141
(Alexander Belchenko)
4146
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
4147
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
4148
encoding. (Robert Collins)
4150
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
4151
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
4154
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
4155
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
4156
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
4157
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
4158
configuration. (Robert Collins)
4160
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
4161
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
4162
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
4164
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
4165
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
4166
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
4167
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
4169
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
4170
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
4171
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
4173
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
4174
backwards. (Robert Collins)
4176
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
4177
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
4178
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4179
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
4181
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
4182
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
4183
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4185
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
4186
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
4188
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
4189
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
4190
branches. (Robert Collins)
4192
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
4193
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4195
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
4200
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
4201
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
4252
********************
4254
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4255
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4256
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4257
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4258
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4260
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4261
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4262
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4264
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4265
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4266
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4267
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4268
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4273
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4274
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4275
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4276
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4277
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4280
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4283
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4284
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4286
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4287
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4288
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4289
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4290
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4292
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4293
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4295
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4298
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4299
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4300
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4301
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4304
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4305
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4306
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4307
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4308
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4310
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4311
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4314
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
4320
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4321
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4322
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4324
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4325
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4326
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4327
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4328
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4330
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4331
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4334
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4335
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4336
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4338
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4341
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
4344
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
4345
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4347
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4348
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4350
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4351
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4353
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4354
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4357
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4358
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4359
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4361
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4362
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4363
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4366
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4367
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4368
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4369
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4371
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4372
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4373
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4374
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4375
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4376
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4377
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4378
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
4379
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4381
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
4387
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4388
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4389
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4390
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4391
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4392
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4393
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4395
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4396
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4398
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4399
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4400
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4401
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4403
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4404
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4406
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4408
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4411
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4412
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4413
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4415
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4416
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4418
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4419
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4421
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4422
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4423
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4425
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4426
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4427
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4428
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4430
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4432
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
4433
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
4435
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4436
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4437
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4438
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4439
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4441
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4442
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4443
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4444
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4445
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4446
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4447
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4449
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4450
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4452
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4453
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4456
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4457
(James Westby, #341558)
4459
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4460
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4462
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4463
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
4468
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4470
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4472
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
4473
(James Westby, #336998)
4478
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4481
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4482
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4485
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4486
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4489
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4490
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4491
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4493
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4494
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4495
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4497
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4498
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4499
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4500
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4503
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4504
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4507
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4510
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4511
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4513
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4514
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4515
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4516
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4518
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4519
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4520
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4525
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4526
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4527
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4528
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4529
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4531
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4532
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4534
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4535
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4536
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4537
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4543
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4544
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4546
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4547
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4549
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4550
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4551
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4553
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4554
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4555
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4556
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4558
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4559
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4560
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4561
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4563
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4564
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4565
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4567
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4568
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4569
dependency. (Robert Collins)
4571
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
4572
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
4573
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4575
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
4576
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
4579
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
4580
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
4581
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
4583
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
4584
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4586
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
4587
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
4588
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4590
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
4591
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
4594
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
4595
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
4596
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4598
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
4599
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
4600
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
4601
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
4602
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
4604
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
4605
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
4606
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
4607
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4609
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
4610
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
4611
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
4612
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4614
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
4615
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
4616
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4618
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
4619
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
4622
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
4623
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
4624
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
4626
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
4627
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
4628
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
4629
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
4630
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
4632
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
4633
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
4634
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
4637
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
4638
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
4639
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
4640
desired. (Robert Collins)
4642
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
4643
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
4644
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
4645
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4647
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
4648
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
4649
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug

stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
4666
*****************************
4668
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
4669
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
4670
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
4671
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
4672
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
4673
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
4679
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
4680
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
4681
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4683
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
4684
********************************
4686
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
4687
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
4688
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
4693
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
4694
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
4696
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
4697
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
4699
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
4700
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
4702
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4704
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
4705
*********************************
4707
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4708
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4709
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4711
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4712
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4714
Compatibility Breaks
4715
********************
4717
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
4718
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
4719
command may need to be adjusted.
4720
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4725
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
4726
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
4727
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
4729
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
4732
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
4733
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
4734
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
4737
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
4738
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
4740
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
4741
(John Arbash Meinel)
4743
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
4744
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
4746
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
4748
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
4749
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
4752
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
4758
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
4759
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
4760
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
4761
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
4762
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
4763
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
4764
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
4765
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
4768
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
4769
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
4771
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
4772
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
4773
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
4775
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
4776
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
4778
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
4779
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
4780
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
4783
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
4784
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
4785
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4787
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
4788
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
4789
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
4790
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4792
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
4795
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
4796
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
4798
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
4799
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
4801
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
4802
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
4803
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
4805
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
4810
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
4811
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
4813
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
4814
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
4815
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
4817
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
4818
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
4819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
4821
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
4822
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
4824
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
4825
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
4828
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
4829
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
4830
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
4832
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
4833
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
4835
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
4836
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
4838
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
4839
(James Westby, #174539)
4841
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4842
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4844
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
4845
error branching from old repositories.
4846
(Martin Pool, #321695)
4848
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
4849
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
4851
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
4852
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
4853
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4854
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4856
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4857
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4860
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4861
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4863
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4864
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4866
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4867
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4868
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4870
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4871
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4873
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
4874
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
4879
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
4880
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
4881
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
4884
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4885
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
4887
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
4888
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
4893
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4894
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4895
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4896
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4897
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4899
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4900
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4902
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4903
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4904
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4905
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4906
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4907
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4909
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4910
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4912
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
4913
"author" argument being deprecated.
4915
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
4917
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4918
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4919
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4920
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4922
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4923
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4924
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4926
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4927
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4928
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4930
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4931
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4933
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4934
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4935
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4936
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4941
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4942
free of virtual file system methods.
4943
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4945
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4946
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4947
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4949
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4950
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4951
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4952
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4953
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4954
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4956
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4958
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4959
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4961
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
4962
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
4963
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
4964
stream the operation.
4965
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4967
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
4968
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
4970
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
4971
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
4972
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
4973
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
4974
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4976
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
4977
branch object. (Robert Collins)
4979
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
4980
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
4981
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
4983
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
4984
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
4987
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
4990
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
4991
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
4992
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4994
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
4995
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
4996
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4998
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
4999
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
5000
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5002
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
5003
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
5004
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5006
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
5007
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
5008
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
5009
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
5010
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
5012
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
5013
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
5014
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
5015
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
5016
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
5017
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
5019
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
5020
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
5021
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
5022
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
5023
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5025
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
5026
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5028
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
5029
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
5031
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
5032
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
5033
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
5034
to access private data in record to obtain content more
5035
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5037
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
5038
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
5045
:Codename: 1234567890
5047
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10

* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
14
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
15
command may need to be adjusted.
16
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
20
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
21
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
22
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
26
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
27

(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
32
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
33
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
35
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
36
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
41
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
42
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
48
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
49
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
51
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a

command object before the command is run (or help generated from

documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
7698
2544
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
7699
2545
features have been added.

Notes When Upgrading
7715
********************
7717
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
7718
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
7723
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
7724
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
7725
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
7726
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
7729
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
7730
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
7731
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
7732
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
7733
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
7734
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
7736
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
7737
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
7738
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
7739
(Alexander Belchenko)
7741
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7743
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
7744
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
7749
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
7750
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
7752
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
7753
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
7759
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
7761
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7763
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
7764
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
7765
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
7767
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
7768
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
7770
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
7771
to. (Daniel Watkins)
7773
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
7774
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
7775
(Alexander Belchenko)
7777
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
7778
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
7779
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
7780
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
7782
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
7785
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
7786
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
7787
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
7788
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
7789
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
7794
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
7795
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
7796
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
7797
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
7799
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
7800
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
7802
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
7803
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
7805
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
7806
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
7807
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
7809
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
7810
(#198793, John Ferlito)
7812
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
7815
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
7816
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
7818
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
7820
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
7822
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
7823
symlinks (James Henstridge)
7825
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
7826
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
7828
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
7829
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
7831
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
7832
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
7834
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
7835
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
7837
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
7838
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
7843
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
7844
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7849
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
7850
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
7851
(Alexander Belchenko)
7856
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
7858
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
7859
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
7865
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
7866
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
7867
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
7869
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
7870
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
7871
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
7872
(Alexander Belchenko)
7874
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
7875
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
7876
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
7877
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
7879
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
7880
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
7881
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
7884
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
7885
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
7886
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
7888
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
7889
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
7890
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
7892
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
7893
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
7894
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
7895
format. (Robert Collins)
7901
:Released: 2008-02-15
7906
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

7914
Notes When Upgrading
7915
********************
7917
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
7918
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
7919
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
7920
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
7921
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
7927
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7928
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7930
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7931
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7932
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7934
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7935
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7936
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7937
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7938
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7939
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7945
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7946
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7948
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7949
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7950
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7953
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7954
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7955
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7956
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7957
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7959
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7960
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7961
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
7962
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
7963
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
7964
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
7965
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
7966
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
7971
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
7972
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
7974
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
7975
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7977
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
7978
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7980
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
7981
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
7982
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
7984
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
7985
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
7986
(John Arbash Meinel)
7991
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
7992
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
7994
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
7995
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
7997
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
7998
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
8000
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
8001
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
8002
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
8004
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
8005
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
8006
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
8008
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
8009
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
8011
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
8012
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
8013
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
8014
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
8015
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
8017
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8019
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
8020
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
8023
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
8024
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
8026
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
8027
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
8029
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
8030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
8032
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
8033
more characters which should be considered valid.
8034
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
8036
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
8037
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
8039
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
8040
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
8045
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
8046
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
8048
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
8049
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
8055
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
8056
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
8062
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
8063
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
8064
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
8066
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
8067
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
8068
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
8070
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
8071
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
8072
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
8073
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
8075
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
8077
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
8078
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
8079
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
8080
server. (Robert Collins)
8082
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
8083
operate. (Robert Collins)
8085
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
8086
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
8087
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
8089
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
8090
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
8091
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
8092
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
8094
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
8095
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
8097
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
8098
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
8099
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
8101
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
8102
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
8104
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
8105
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
8107
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
8108
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
8109
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
8110
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
8116

2709
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2710
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2711
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2713
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2714
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2715
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2718
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2719
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2720
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2722
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2723
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2724
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2726
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2727
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2728
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2729
format. (Robert Collins)
2737
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2741
---------------------
2743
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2745
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2746
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2747
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2748
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2749
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2754
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2755
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2757
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2758
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2759
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2761
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2762
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2763
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2764
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2765
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2766
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2771
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2772
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2774
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2775
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2776
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2779
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2780
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2781
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2782
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2783
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2785
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2786
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2787
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2788
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2789
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2790
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2791
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2792
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2796
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2797
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2799
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2800
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2802
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2803
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2805
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2806
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2807
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2809
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2810
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2811
(John Arbash Meinel)
2815
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2816
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2818
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2819
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2821
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2822
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2824
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2825
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2826
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2828
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2829
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2830
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2832
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2833
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2835
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2836
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2837
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2838
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2839
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2841
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2843
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2844
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2847
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2848
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2850
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2851
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2853
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2856
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2857
more characters which should be considered valid.
2858
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2860
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2861
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2863
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2864
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2868
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2869
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2871
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2872
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2877
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2878
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2883
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2884
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2885
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2887
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2888
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2889
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2891
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2892
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2893
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2894
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2896
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2898
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2899
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2900
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2901
server. (Robert Collins)
2903
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2904
operate. (Robert Collins)
2906
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2907
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2908
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2910
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2911
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2912
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2913
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2915
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2916
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2918
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2919
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2920
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2922
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2923
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2925
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2926
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2928
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2929
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2930
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2931
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
8118
2937
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
8123
:Released: 2008-01-05
8128
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
8129
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
8130
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
8131
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
8133
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
8134
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
8135
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
8136
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
8141
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
8144
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
8147
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
8148
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
8153
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
8156
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
8157
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
8158
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
8160
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
8162
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
8163
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
8164
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
8165
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
8166
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
8168
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
8169
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
8170
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
8172
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
8173
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
8175
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
8178
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
8180
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
8182
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
8185
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
8186
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
8191
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
8192
(Martin Pool, #180208)
8194
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
8195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
8197
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
8200
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
8201
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
8203
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
8204
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
8206
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
8207
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8209
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
8210
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
8212
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
8213
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
8214
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
8216
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
8217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
8219
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
8220
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
8223
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
8225
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
8226
user:pass embedded in the urls.
8227
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
8229
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
8230
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
8232
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
8235
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
8238
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
8239
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
8241
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
8244
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
8245
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
8248
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
8249
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
8250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
8255
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
8258
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
8259
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
8260
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
8261
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
8262
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
8263
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
8265
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
8270
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
8273
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
8274
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
8276
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
8278
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
8279
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
8280
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
8283
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
8284
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8286
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
8295
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
8296
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
8297
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
8299
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
8300
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
8303
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
8304
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
8306
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
8307
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
8309
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
8310
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
8312
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
8313
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
8314
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
8316
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
8317
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
8319
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
8320
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
8322
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
8323
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
8326
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
8327
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
8329
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
8330
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
8336
:Released: 2007-12-14
8341
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
8343
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
8346
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
8348
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
8349
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
8356
:Released: 2007-12-11
8361
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
8362
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
8363
by mail to the mailing list.
8369
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
8371
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
8372
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
8373
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
8374
feedback but also incur more latency.
8375
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
8377
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
8378
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
8383
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
8385
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
8391
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
8392
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
8393
wraps its output in a StringIO.
8400
:Released: 2007-12-07
8405
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
8407
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
8410
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
8413
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
8414
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
8415
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
8416
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8418
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
8421
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
8422
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
8424
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
8425
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
8426
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
8428
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
8429
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
8430
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
8431
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
8432
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
8433
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
8434
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
8435
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
8436
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
8441
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
8444
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
8449
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
8450
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)

* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
8454
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
8456
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
8457
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
8459
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
8461
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.

* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
8465
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)

* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
8471
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
8480
********************
8482
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8483
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8484
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8485
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8487
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8488
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8490
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8491
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8493
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8494
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8495
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8496
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8497
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8498
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8499
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8500
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8501
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8502
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8503
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8504
from any tree without problems.
8505
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
8510
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
8511
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
8512
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
8514
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
8515
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
8521
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
8522
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
8523
supported transports.
8526
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
8527
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
8528
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
8530
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
8531
(Robert Collins, #154173)
8533
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
8534
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
8535
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
8536
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
8538
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
8539
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
8544
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
8545
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
8546
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
8547
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8549
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8550
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
8551
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
8552
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
8554
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
8555
(Robert Collins, #88319)
8557
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
8558
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
8560
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
8561
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
8563
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
8564
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
8570
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
8573
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
8574
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
8577
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
8578
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
8579
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
8580
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
8582
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
8583
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
8584
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
8585
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
8593
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
8594
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
8596
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
8597
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
8599
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
8600
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
8602
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
8603
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
8605
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
8606
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
8608
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
8609
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
8611
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
8612
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
8614
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
8617
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
8618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
8620
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
8621
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
8622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
8624
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
8625
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
8627
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
8628
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
8630
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
8631
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
8633
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
8634
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
8636
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
8637
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
8638
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
8639
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
8641
(Martin Pool, #164637)
8643
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
8644
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
8645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
8647
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
8648
(Robert Collins, #161240)
8650
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
8652
(Martin Pool, #164443)
8654
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
8655
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
8657
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
8658
specify a port in urls.
8659
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
8661
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
8662
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
8664
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
8665
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
8667
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
8668
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
8670
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
8671
(Robert Collins, #153789)
8673
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
8674
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
8675
(Robert Collins, #165304).
8677
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
8679
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
8680
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
8682
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
8685
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
8686
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
8688
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
8689
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
8691
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
8692
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
8693
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
8695
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
8696
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
8698
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
8699
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
8700
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
8701
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
8703
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
8704
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
8706
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
8707
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
8708
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
8710
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
8711
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
8713
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
8714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
8716
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
8717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
8722
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
8723
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
8725
* The return value of
8726
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
8727
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
8728
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
8729
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
8731
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
8734
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
8735
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
8742
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
8743
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
8744
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
8747
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
8748
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
8750
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
8756
:Released: 2007-11-05
2939
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2940
---------------------
2944
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2945
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2946
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2947
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2949
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2950
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2951
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2952
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2956
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2959
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2962
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2963
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2967
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2970
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2971
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2972
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2974
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2976
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2977
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2978
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2979
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2980
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2982
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2983
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2984
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2986
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2987
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2989
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2992
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2994
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2996
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2999
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3000
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3004
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3005
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3007
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3010
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3013
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3014
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3016
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3017
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3019
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3020
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3022
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3023
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3025
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3026
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3027
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3029
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3032
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3033
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3036
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3038
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3039
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3042
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3043
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3045
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3048
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3051
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3052
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3054
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3057
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3058
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3061
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3062
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3063
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3067
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3070
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3071
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3072
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3073
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3074
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3075
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3077
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3081
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
3084
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3085
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3087
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3089
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3090
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3091
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3094
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3095
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3097
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3104
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3105
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3106
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3108
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3109
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3112
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3113
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3115
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3116
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3118
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3119
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3121
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3122
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3123
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3125
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3126
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3128
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3129
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3131
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3132
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3135
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3136
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3138
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3139
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3147
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3149
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
3152
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
3154
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
3155
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
3159
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
3160
---------------------
3164
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
3165
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
3166
by mail to the mailing list.
3171
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
3173
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
3174
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
3175
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
3176
feedback but also incur more latency.
3177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
3179
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
3180
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
3184
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3186
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
3191
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
3192
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
3193
wraps its output in a StringIO.
3197
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
3198
---------------------
3202
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3204
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
3207
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
3210
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
3211
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
3212
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
3213
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3215
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
3218
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
3219
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
3221
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
3222
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
3223
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
3225
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3226
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3227
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3228
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3229
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3230
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3231
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3232
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3233
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
3237
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
3240
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
3244
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
3245
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
3247
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
3249
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3251
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3252
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3256
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3257
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3259
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3260
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3264
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
3265
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
3268
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3269
---------------------
3271
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3273
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3274
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3275
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3276
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3278
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3279
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3281
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3282
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3284
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3285
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3286
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3287
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3288
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3289
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3290
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3291
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3292
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3293
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3294
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3295
from any tree without problems.
3296
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3300
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3301
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3302
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3304
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3305
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3306
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3311
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3312
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3313
supported transports.
3316
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3317
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3318
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)

* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3321
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3323
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3324
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3325
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3326
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3328
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3329
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3333
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3334
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3335
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3336
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3338
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3339
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3340
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3341
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3343
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3344
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3346
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3347
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3349
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3350
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3352
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3353
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3358
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3361
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3362
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3365
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3366
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3367
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3368
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3370
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3371
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3372
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3373
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3379
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3380
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3382
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3383
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3385
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3386
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3388
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3391
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3392
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3394
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3395
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3397
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3398
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3400
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3403
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3406
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3407
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3410
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3411
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3413
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3414
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3416
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3417
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3419
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3422
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3423
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3424
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3425
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3427
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3429
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3430
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3433
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3434
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3436
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3438
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3440
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3441
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3443
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3444
specify a port in urls.
3445
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3447
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3448
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3450
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3451
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3453
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3454
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3456
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3457
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3459
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3460
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3461
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3463
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3465
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3466
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3468
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3471
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3472
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3474
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3475
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3477
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3478
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3479
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3481
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3482
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3484
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3485
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3486
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3487
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3489
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3490
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3492
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3493
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3494
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3496
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3497
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3499
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3502
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3507
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3508
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3510
* The return value of
3511
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3512
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3513
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3514
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3516
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3519
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3520
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3526
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3527
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3528
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3531
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3532
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3534
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
8761
3544
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
8767
:Released: 2007-10-29
8772
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
8773
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
8775
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
8776
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
8777
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
8778
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
8779
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
8780
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
8781
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
8782
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
8783
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
8784
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
8785
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
8786
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
8792
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
8793
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
8794
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
8795
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
8796
commands. (Robert Collins)
8798
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
8799
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
8800
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
8803
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
8805
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
8806
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
8808
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
8809
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
8812
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
8813
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
8814
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
8819
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
8820
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
8822
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
8823
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
8825
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
8826
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
8827
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
8828
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
8830
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
8833
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
8834
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
8835
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
8836
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
8838
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
8839
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
8841
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
8842
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
8844
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
8845
the contents. (Robert Collins)
8847
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
8848
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
8853
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
8854
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
8856
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
8857
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
8859
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
8860
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
8862
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
8863
(Martin Pool, #63894)
8865
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
8866
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
8871
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
8873
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
8879
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
8880
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
8881
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
8883
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
8884
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
8886
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
8887
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
8889
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
8890
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
8891
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8892
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8894
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8895
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8896
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8897
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8898
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8900
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8901
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8903
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
8905
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8907
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
8908
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
8910
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
8911
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
8913
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
8914
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
8916
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
8917
contains a symbolic link.
8918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
8920
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
8921
(James Westby, #140615)
8923
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
8924
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
8925
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
8927
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
8928
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
8929
(Martin Pool, #144633)
8931
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8933
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8934
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8936
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8940
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8941
directory to detect leaking tests.
8942
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8944
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8945
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8946
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8948
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8951
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8952
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8954
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8960
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8961
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
8963
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
8964
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
8965
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
8967
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
8968
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
8969
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
8971
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
8972
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
8974
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
8975
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
8977
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
8978
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
8981
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
8982
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
8984
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
8985
class that needs it.
8988
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
8989
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
8991
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
8992
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
8993
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
8995
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
8996
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
8997
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
9000
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
9001
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
9002
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
9003
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
9009
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
9010
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
9011
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
9013
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
9014
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
9015
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
9016
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
9018
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
9019
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
9022
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
9023
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
9024
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
9026
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
9027
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
9028
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
9030
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
9031
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
9033
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
9034
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
9035
to complete. (Robert Collins)
9037
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
9038
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
9040
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
9041
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
9042
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
9044
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
9045
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
9046
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
9048
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
9049
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
9050
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
9051
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
9053
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
9054
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
9055
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
9056
returned. (Robert Collins)
9058
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
9059
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
9061
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
9062
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
9063
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
9064
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
9067
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
9068
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
9073
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
9074
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
9076
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
9077
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
9078
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
9079
makes this behavior available to other users.
9082
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
9083
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
9089
:Released: 2007-09-26
9094
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9095
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
9096
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9098
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9100
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
9101
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
9102
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
9103
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
9105
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
9106
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
9113
:Released: 2007-09-11
9115
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
9116
in bzrlib/remote.py.
9122
:Released: 2007-09-11
9127
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
9128
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
9129
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
9130
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
9133
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
9134
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
9135
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
9141
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
9142
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
9143
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
9146
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
9147
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
9148
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
9150
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
9151
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
9152
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
9154
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
9155
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
9157
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
9158
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
9159
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
9160
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
9161
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
9162
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
9163
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
9164
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
9165
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
9166
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
9168
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
9169
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
9171
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
9172
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
9173
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
9178
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
9179
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
9181
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
9182
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
9183
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
9185
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
9186
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
9188
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
9189
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
9191
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
9194
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
9195
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
9197
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
9198
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
9200
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
9201
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9203
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
9204
(Blake Winton, #129299)
9206
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
9208
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
9211
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
9212
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
9213
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
9214
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
9216
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9218
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
9219
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
9222
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9223
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9225
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9226
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9229
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9230
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9232
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9233
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9235
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9236
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9237
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9238
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9239
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9240
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9241
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9243
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9244
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9246
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9247
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9249
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9250
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9252
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9255
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9257
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9259
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9260
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9262
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9263
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9264
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9266
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9267
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
9268
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9273
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
9274
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9276
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9279
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9282
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
9283
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9285
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9287
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
9288
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
9290
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9291
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9293
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9294
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9295
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9296
space). (Robert Collins)
9298
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9299
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9302
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9303
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9305
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9306
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
9308
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9309
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9310
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9311
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9313
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9314
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9315
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
9318
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9321
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9322
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
9323
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
9325
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9326
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9327
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9328
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9329
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
9334
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9335
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9337
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9338
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9339
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9340
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9341
affected. (Robert Collins)
9343
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9344
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9345
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9348
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9349
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9354
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
9355
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
9357
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9358
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9360
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9361
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9363
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
9366
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
9367
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9372
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9373
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9374
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9375
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9377
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9378
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9380
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9381
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9382
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9383
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9385
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9386
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9387
present. (Robert Collins)
9389
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9390
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9391
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9392
API. (Robert Collins)
9394
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9395
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9398
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9399
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9401
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9402
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9403
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9404
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9405
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9406
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9408
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9409
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9410
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9412
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9413
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9414
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9415
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9418
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9421
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9422
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9423
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9424
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9425
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9426
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9427
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9429
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9430
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9431
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9432
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9434
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9435
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9436
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9437
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9438
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9439
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9441
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9442
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9443
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9445
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9446
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9452
:Released: 2007-08-28
9457
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
9458
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
9459
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
9460
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
9461
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
9462
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
9463
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
9464
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
9470
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
9471
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
9472
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
9478
:Released: 2007-08-14
9483
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9484
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9485
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9486
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9487
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9489
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9492
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
9494
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9496
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
9497
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9500
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9501
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9504
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
9507
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9508
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9510
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9511
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9513
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9514
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9516
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
9517
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
9519
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
9520
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
9522
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
9528
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9529
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9531
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9532
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9534
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9535
the repository (Robert Collins)
9537
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9538
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9539
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9540
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9541
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9543
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9544
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9546
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9547
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9548
(John Arbash Meinel)
9550
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9551
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9552
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9554
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9555
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9556
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9557
(John Arbash Meinel)
9559
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9560
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9563
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9564
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9566
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9569
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
9571
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
9573
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
9574
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
9576
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
9577
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
9580
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
9581
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
9582
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
9583
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9585
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
9586
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
9587
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
9589
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
9590
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
9591
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
9593
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
9594
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
9596
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
9597
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
9598
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
9599
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
9600
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
9601
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
9604
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
9605
(Alexander Belchenko)
9607
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
9608
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
9610
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
9611
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
9613
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
9615
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
9616
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
9621
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
9622
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
9623
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
9624
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
9626
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
9628
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
9631
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
9632
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
9633
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
9634
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
9635
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
9636
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
9641
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
9642
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
9643
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
9644
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
9646
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
9647
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
9648
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
9649
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
9650
tests have been refactored too.
9653
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
9654
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
9655
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
9659
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
9660
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
9661
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9663
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
9664
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
9665
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
9666
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
9667
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
9668
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
9669
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
9671
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
9672
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
9673
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
9674
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
9675
(John Arbash Meinel)
9677
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
9678
functionality for testing.
9680
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
9682
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
9683
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9685
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
9687
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
9690
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
9691
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
9693
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
9694
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
9695
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
9697
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
9700
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
9701
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
9703
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
9704
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
9705
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
9706
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
9708
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
9709
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
9711
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
9712
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
9713
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
9715
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
9718
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
9719
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
9720
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
9721
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
9722
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
9723
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
9725
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
9726
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
9727
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
9728
many files. (Robert Collins)
9730
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
9731
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
9732
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
9733
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
9738
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
9739
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
9740
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
9742
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
9743
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
9745
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
9746
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
9747
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

9769
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
9770
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)

* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
9773
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
9774
(James Westby, #122656)
9776
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
9777
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
9779
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
9780

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
9794
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
9795

* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
9798
individually and as part of revision ranges.
9799
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
9801
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
9802
(Martin Pool, #109169)
9804
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
9805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
9807
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
9808
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
9810
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9812
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
9817
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
9818
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
9819
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
9820
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9821
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
9822
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
9824
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
9825
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
9826
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
9828
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
9831
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
9832
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
9834
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
9835
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
9837
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
9838
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
9840
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
9841
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
9842
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
9843
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
9844
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
9846
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
9847
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
9849
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
9850
can be slow it is useful feedback).
9851
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
9853
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
9854
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
9856
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
9858
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
9859
output. (Aaron Bentley)
9861
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
9862
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
9865
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
9868
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
9869
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
9871
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
9872
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
9874
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
9875
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
9877
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
9879
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
9880
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
9882
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
9888
* Testing cleanups -

``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9890
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
9891
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9892
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
9893
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to

``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9896
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
9897
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9898
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
9899
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
9900
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
9901
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9902
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
9903
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9904
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
9905
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
9908
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
9910
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
9911
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
9912
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
9914
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
9915
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
9917
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
9918
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9920
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
9922
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9923
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9924
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9925
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9926
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
9927
same location. (Robert Collins)
9932
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
9934
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
9936
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
9938
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
9941
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9944
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9945
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9946
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9948
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9950
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9951
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9952
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9954
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9955
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9957
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9958
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9959
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9961
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
9962
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
9963
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
9965
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
9966
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
9967
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
9969
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
9970
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
9973
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
9974
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
9976
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
9977
(Alexander Belchenko)
9982
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
9983
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
9984
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
9985
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9987
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
9988
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
9989
testing. (Robert Collins)
9991
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
9992
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
9994
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
9995
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
9996
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
9997
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
9998
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
9999
attribute during the test parameterisation in
10000
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
10002
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
10003
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
10004
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
10005
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
10007
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
10008
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
10010
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
10011
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
10036
********************
10038
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
10039
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
10040
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10041
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
10042
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10043
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
10044
and unlock() like so::
10046
work_tree.lock_read()
10048
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
10054
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
10055
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
10057
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
10058
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
10059
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
10061
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
10062
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
10063
too. (Robert Collins)
10068
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
10069
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
10072
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
10073
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
10075
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
10076
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
10078
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
10079
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
10080
understanding what changes have occurred
10081
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
10083
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
10084
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
10085
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10087
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
10088
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
10089
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
10090
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
10092
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
10098
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
10099
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
10100
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
10101
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
10102
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
10104
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
10105
based on split paths, not just string paths.
10106
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
10108
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
10109
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
10111
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
10113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
10115
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
10116
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
10118
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
10119
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
10121
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
10122
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
10124
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
10125
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
10127
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
10128
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
10130
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
10131
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
10132
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
10137
:Released: 2007-05-07
10142
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
10143
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
10144
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
10145
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
10146
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
10148
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
10149
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
10150
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
10152
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
10153
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
10158
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
10159
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
10160
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
10162
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
10163
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
10164
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
10165
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
10170
:Released: 2007-04-30
10175
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
10176
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
10177
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
10178
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
10180
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
10181
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
10182
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
10184
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
10185
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
10187
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
10188
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
10190
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
10191
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
10196
:Released: 2007-04-26
10198
Notes When Upgrading
10199
********************
10201
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
10202
it could be recovered again.
10203
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
10204
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
10205
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
10207
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
10209
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
10210
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
10215
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
10216
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10218
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
10219
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
10220
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
10221
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
10223
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
10224
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
10226
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
10227
tests with names that match that regular expression.
10228
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
10230
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
10231
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
10232
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
10234
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
10235
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
10236
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
10238
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
10239
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
10242
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
10245
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
10246
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
10247
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
10248
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
10250
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
10253
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
10254
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
10255
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
10258
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
10259
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
10261
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
10262
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
10264
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
10265
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
10266
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
10267
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
10270
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
10271
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
10273
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
10274
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10276
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
10277
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10278
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10280
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10281
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10282
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10284
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10285
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10286
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10288
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10289
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10290
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10291
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10293
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10294
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10295
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10296
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10298
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10299
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10300
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10301
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10302
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10303
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10304
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10305
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10312
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10313
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10315
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10316
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10317
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10318
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10319
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10321
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10322
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10324
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10325
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10327
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10328
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10330
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10331
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10333
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10334
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10335
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10338
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10339
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10340
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10341
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10342
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10345
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10346
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10347
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10349
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10350
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10353
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10354
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10355
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10358
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10359
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10360
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10361
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10362
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10364
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10365
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10366
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10367
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10369
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10370
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10372
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10373
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10374
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10375
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10376
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10377
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10379
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10380
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10382
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10383
help. (Robert Collins)
10385
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10386
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10388
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10389
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10390
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10391
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10392
(John Arbash Meinel)
10394
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10395
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10396
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10397
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10398
useful. (Robert Collins)
10400
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
10406
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
10407
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
10409
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
10410
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
10412
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
10413
properly and is no longer beneficial.
10414
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
10416
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
10419
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
10420
the file, and does it faster.
10421
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
10423
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
10424
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
10425
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
10427
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
10428
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
10429
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
10430
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
10432
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
10433
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
10434
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
10435
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
10437
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
10438
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
10440
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
10441
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
10442
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
10443
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
10446
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
10448
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
10449
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
10451
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
10452
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
10454
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
10455
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
10456
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
10457
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
10461
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
10462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
10467
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
10468
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
10469
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10471
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10472
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
10474
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10475
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10476
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10477
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10478
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10479
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10480
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10481
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10483
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10484
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10485
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10487
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10488
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10489
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10490
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10491
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10493
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10495
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
10496
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
10497
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
10499
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
10500
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
10506
:Released: 2007-04-01
10511
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
10514
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
10515
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
10521
:Released: 2007-03-26
10526
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
10527
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
10533
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10534
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10535
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10536
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10537
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10538
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10539
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10540
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
10546
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
10547
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
10548
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
10550
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
10551
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
10554
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
10555
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
10556
(John Arbash Meinel)
10558
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
10559
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
10560
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
10561
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
10562
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
10567
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
10570
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
10571
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
10573
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
10574
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
10576
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
10577
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
10578
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
10580
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
10581
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
10583
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
10584
last-changed-revision for directories. The
10585
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
10586
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
10587
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
10589
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
10590
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
10591
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
10593
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
10602
********************
10604
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
10605
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
10606
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
10611
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
10612
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
10614
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
10615
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
10617
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
10619
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
10620
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
10622
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
10623
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
10628
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
10634
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
10635
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
10636
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
10637
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
10639
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
10640
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
10642
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
10643
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
10645
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
10648
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
10649
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
10655
:Released: 2007-03-07
10660
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
10661
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
10662
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
10663
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
10664
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
10665
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
10667
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
10668
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
10669
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
10670
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
10671
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
10672
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
10674
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10676
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
10677
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
10678
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
10679
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
10680
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
10681
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
10682
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
10683
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10688
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
10689
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
10691
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
10692
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10693
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
10694
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
10696
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
10697
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
10698
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
10699
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
10700
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
10702
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
10705
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
10708
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
10711
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
10712
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
10715
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
10718
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
10719
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
10721
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
10722
directory. (Martin Pool)
10724
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
10725
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
10726
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
10727
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
10729
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
10730
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
10731
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
10732
in docs/configuration.txt.
10734
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
10735
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
10738
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
10739
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
10740
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
10741
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
10742
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
10743
repositories. (Martin Pool)
10745
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
10746
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10748
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
10749
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
10751
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
10757
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
10758
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
10759
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
10760
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
10761
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
10762
(John Arbash Meinel)
10764
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
10765
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
10768
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
10769
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
10770
(John Arbash Meinel)
10772
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
10773
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
10774
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
10775
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
10776
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
10777
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
10779
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
10780
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
10781
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
10783
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
10784
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
10785
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
10786
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
10788
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10790
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
10791
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
10792
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
10793
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
10795
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
10796
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
10797
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
10798
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
10800
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
10801
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
10802
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
10804
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
10805
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
10806
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
10808
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
10809
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
10810
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
10811
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
10813
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
10814
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
10815
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
10817
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
10818
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
10819
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
10821
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
10822
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
10823
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
10824
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
10825
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
10826
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
10827
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
10828
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
10829
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
10830
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
10831
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
10836
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
10837
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
10838
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
10840
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
10843
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
10844
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
10845
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
10846
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
10848
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
10849
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
10852
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
10853
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
10855
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
10857
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
10858
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
10859
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
10861
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
10862

10864
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
10865

* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
10882
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

:Released: 2007-01-23
10893
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
10898
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
10899
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
10900
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
10902
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
10903
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
10904
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
10910
:Released: 2007-01-16
10915
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
10916
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
10917
server, then you can write over the http connection.
10918
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10920
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
10923
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
10924
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
10925
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
10927
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
10928
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
10930
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
10933
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10934
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10935
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10936
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10937
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10938
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10940
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10941
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10942
should enable you to do::
10944
[/home/user/project]
10945
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10946
push_location:policy = appendpath
10948
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10949
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10952
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
10953
for each file. For example::
10955
$ bzr status --short
10961
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
10962
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
10964
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
10966
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
10967
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
10969
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
10974
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
10975
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
10976
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
10977
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
10979
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
10980
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
10981
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
10983
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
10985
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
10986
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
10987
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
10988
(Alexander Belchenko)
10990
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
10993
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
10994
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
10996
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
11001
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
11002
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
11004
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
11005
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
11006
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
11007
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
11008
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
11010
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
11011
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
11013
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
11014
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
11016
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
11018
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
11020
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
11021
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
11022
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
11023
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
11024
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
11026
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
11027
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
11028
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
11029
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
11031
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
11032
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
11034
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
11035
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
11037
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
11038
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
11061
tree from a branch.
11062
(Daniel Silverstone)
11064
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
11065
operations are substantially faster.
11066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
11068
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
11069
tree from some other url. For example:
11070
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
11071
(Daniel Silverstone)
11073
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
11074
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
11075
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
11076
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
11078
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
11081
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
11082
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
11083
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
11084
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
11085
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
11086
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
11091
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
11092
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
11095
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
11096
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
11097
(John Arbash Meinel)
11099
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
11100
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
11101
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
11102
(John Arbash Meinel)
11104
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
11105
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
11107
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
11108
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
11110
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
11111
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
11117
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
11118
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
11119
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
11121
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
11122
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
11123
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
11124
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
11126
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
11128
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
11129
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
11131
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
11132
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
11133
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
11134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
11136
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
11137
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
11138
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
11140
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
11141
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
11142
them as full references rather than integers.
11143
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
11145
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
11146
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
11148
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
11150
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
11151
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
11153
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
11154
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
11156
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
11157
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
11158
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
11159
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
11161
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
11162
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
11163
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
11165
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
11166
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
11168
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
11169
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
11170
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
11171
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
11201
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
11202
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
11203
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
11205
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
11206
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
11208
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
11210
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
11211
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
11212
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
11213
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
11215
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
11216
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
11217
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
11218
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

*******************
11224
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
11225
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
11230
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
11231
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
11232
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11234
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
11235
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
11236
(John Arbash Meinel)
11238
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
11239
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
11240
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
11242
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
11243
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
11246
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
11247
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
11248
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11250
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
11251
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
11252
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
11253
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
11254
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
11255
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11257
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
11258
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
11259
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
11262
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
11263
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
11268
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
11269
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
11270
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
11273
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
11274
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
11276
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
11277
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.

11280
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
11281
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
11283
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
11284
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
11285
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
11286
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
11288
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
11289
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
11291
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
11292
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
11293
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)

* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
11296
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)

* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)

* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
11301
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,

* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
11308

11309
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
11310
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
11312
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
11313

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is

11346
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11347
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
11348
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when

* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
11353
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
11354
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
11356
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
11358
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
11359
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
11361
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
11362
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
11363
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
11366
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
11367
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
11368
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
11369
(John Arbash Meinel)
11371
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
11372
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
11373
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
11374
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
11377
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
11378
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
11379
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
11380
(John Arbash Meinel)
11385
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
11386
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
11388
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
11390
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
11391
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
11392
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
11394
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
11395
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
11397
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
11398
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
11400
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
11401
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
11403
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
11404
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
11406
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
11408
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
11409
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
11411
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
11412
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
11414
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
11415
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
11417
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
11418
(John Arbash Meinel)
11420
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
11421
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
11422
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
11424
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
11425
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
11427
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
11428
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
11429
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
11430
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
11432
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
11433
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
11434
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
11436
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
11437
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
11442
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
11447
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
11448
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
11449
(John Arbash Meinel)
11451
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
11452
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
11453
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
11454
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11456
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
11459
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
11460
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
11461
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
11463
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
11464
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
11466
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11467
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11468
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11470
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11471
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11472
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11473
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11474
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11475
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11476
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11477
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11478
caller to repeat their request.
11479
(John Arbash Meinel)
11481
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11482
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11484
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11485
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11487
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11488
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11489
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11490
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11491
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11492
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11493
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11495
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11496
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11497
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11498
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11499
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11500
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11501
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11502
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11505
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11506
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
11507
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
11509
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
11510
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
11512
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
11513
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
11515
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
11516
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11521
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
11522
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
11524
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
11525
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
11526
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11528
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
11529
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
11530
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
11535
:Released: 2006-08-29
11539
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
11540
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
11542
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
11543
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
11544
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
11545
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11546
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11548
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11549
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11550
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11552
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11553
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11555
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11556
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
11557
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11562
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11564
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11565
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11566
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
11568
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
11570
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
11572
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
11573
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
11574
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
11575
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
11577
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
11578
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
11579
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
11580
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
11581
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
11583
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
11584
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
11586
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
11587
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
11589
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
11590
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
11592
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
11593
in handling of revision properties.
11594
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
11596
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
11597
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
11602
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
11603
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
11604
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
11605
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
11606
(John Arbash Meinel)
11608
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
11609
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
11610
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
11615
:Released: 2006-08-11
11620
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11621
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
11622
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
11623
specific one '.bzrignore'.
11624
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
11625
a more conservative list than the old default.
11626
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
11627
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
11628
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
11629
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
11631
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
11632
to more locations than just branch locations.
11638
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
11639
revno:N:branch. For example,
11640
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
11641
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
11643
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
11644
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
11645
the path of a file that has been versioned.
11646
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
11647
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
11648
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11649
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
11650
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
11653
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
11654
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
11655
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
11658
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
11659
(Alexander Belchenko)
11661
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
11663
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
11666
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
11667
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
11668
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
11669
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
11670
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
11671
(John Arbash Meinel)
11673
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
11674
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
11675
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
11676
grained analysis of performance.
11677
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11679
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
11680
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
11682
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
11683
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
11684
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
11685
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
11686
file. (Robert Collins).
11688
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
11689
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
11690
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
11692
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
11693
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
11696
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
11697
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
11699
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
11700
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
11701
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
11702
the same way you would apply another branch.
11703
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
11705
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
11706
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
11708
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
11711
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
11714
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
11715
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
11716
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
11718
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
11719
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
11720
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
11722
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
11723
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
11725
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
11726
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
11727
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
11728
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
11729
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
11731
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
11732
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
11734
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
11735
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
11736
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
11737
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
11738
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
11739
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
11740
branch is as much as 4x faster.
11741
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
11743
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
11744
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
11745
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
11750
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
11752
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
11754
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
11755
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11757
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
11758
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
11760
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
11761
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
11763
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
11765
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
11766
(John Arbash Meinel)
11768
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
11769
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
11771
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
11772
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
11775
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
11776
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
11778
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
11779
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
11781
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
11782
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
11783
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
11784
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
11786
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
11787
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
11789
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
11791
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
11792
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
11794
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
11796
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
11798
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
11799
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
11801
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
11802
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
11804
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
11805
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
11806
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
11808
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
11809
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
11810
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
11812
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
11813
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
11815
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
11816
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
11818
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
11819
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
11821
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
11822
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
11824
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
11825
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
11827
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
11828
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
11829
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
11831
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
11833
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
11834
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
11839
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
11840
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
11841
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
11843
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
11844
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
11846
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
11847
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
11848
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11850
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
11851
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11853
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
11854
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
11857
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
11858
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
11859
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11861
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
11862
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
11863
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11865
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
11866
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
11867
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
11869
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
11870
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
11871
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
11873
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
11874
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
11875
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
11877
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
11878
instead. (Robert Collins)
11880
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
11885
:Released: 2006-05-17
11890
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
11895
:Released: 2006-05-16
11900
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
11901
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
11903
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
11904
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11906
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
11907
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
11908
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
11913
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
11915
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
11916
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
11918
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
11923
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
11924
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
11925
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
11926
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
11931
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
11932
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
11933
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
11938
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
11939
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
11940
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11945
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
11946
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

Notes When Upgrading
11954
********************
11956
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11957
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11958
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11959
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11960
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11961
will keep the same format.
11963
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
11964
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
11965
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
11966
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
11967
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
11969
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
11970
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
11971
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
11972
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
11973
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
11974
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
11975
indicating the current revision of the branch.
11977
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
11978
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
11979
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
11980
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
11981
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
11983
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
11984
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
11985
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
11992
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
11993
convention. Paths now take the form::
11995
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
11997
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11999
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12000
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
12002
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
12003
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
12004
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
12006
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
12007
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
12008
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
12009
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
12011
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
12012
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
12013
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
12015
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
12017
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
12019
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
12020
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
12023
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
12024
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
12025
| xargs bzr re-sign
12027
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
12029
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
12030
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
12031
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
12034
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
12036
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
12038
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
12041
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
12042
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
12044
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
12045
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
12046
Daniel Silverstone)
12048
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
12049
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
12052
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
12054
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
12056
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
12057
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
12059
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
12060
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
12061
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
12062
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
12063
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
12064
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
12066
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
12068
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
12069
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
12072
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
12073
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
12075
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
12076
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
12078
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
12080
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
12081
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
12082
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
12083
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
12084
specification by Martin Pool.
12085
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
12087
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
12090
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
12091
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12093
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
12094
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
12095
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
12097
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
12099
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
12100
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
12106
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
12107
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12109
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
12111
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
12113
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
12116
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
12117
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
12118
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
12119
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
12124
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
12125
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
12126
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
12127
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12129
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
12130
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
12131
tried. (Martin Pool)
12133
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
12136
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
12138
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
12139
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
12140
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
12142
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
12143
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
12145
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
12146
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
12147
paths. (Robert Collins)
12149
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
12150
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
12151
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
12153
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
12154
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
12155
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
12157
* Progress bars are now nested - see
12158
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
12159
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12161
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
12164
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
12167
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
12169
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
12171
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
12172
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
12173
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
12176
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
12177
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
12179
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
12180
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
12181
check. (Robert Collins)
12183
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
12184
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
12189
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
12190
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
12192
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
12193
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
12194
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
12195
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
12197
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
12198
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
12199
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
12200
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
12201
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
12203
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
12204
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
12205
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
12207
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
12209
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
12210
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
12215
:Released: 2006-01-09
12220
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
12221
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
12223
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
12224
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
12225
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
12228
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
12229
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
12231
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
12232
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
12233
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
12234
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
12235
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
12237
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
12238
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
12239
used. (Robert Collins)
12241
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
12242
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12245
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12246
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12247
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12249
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12252
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12253
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
12258
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
12259
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12261
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12263
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12265
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12266
tree. (Robert Collins)
12268
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12269
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12270
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12273
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12276
* Tweaks to short log printing
12278
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12281
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12282
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12284
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12285
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12287
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12288
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12290
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12291
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12292
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12294
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12295
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12297
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12298
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12301
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12302
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12304
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12305
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12307
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12308
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12310
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12313
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12314
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12316
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12317
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12319
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12320
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
12321
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
12326
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
12328
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12330
* Error when run with -OO
12332
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
12335
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
12337
* Change status to 3 for all errors
12339
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
12340
ignored by diff and status
12342
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
12343
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
12345
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
12347
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
12349
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
12350
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
12352
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
12353
email address. (Marien Zwart)
12355
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
12358
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
12359
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12361
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
12363
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
12364
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
12366
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
12369
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
12370
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
12372
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
12377
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
12378
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
12380
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12382
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12384
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
12386
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
12387
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
12388
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12390
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12392
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
12393
(John Arbash Meinel)
12395
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
12397
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12398
If adding a new test script please add that to
12399
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12401
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12402
imported. (Martin Pool)
12404
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12405
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12406
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12407
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12408
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
12411
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12412
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12413
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12415
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12416
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12417
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12419
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12420
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12421
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
12422
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
12423
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
12426
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
12427
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
12433
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12434
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12436
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12437
function. (Robert Collins)
12439
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12440
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12441
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12443
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12444
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12447
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12448
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12449
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12450
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12451
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12452
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12453
version. (Robert Collins)
12455
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12456
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
12458
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12459
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12460
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12461
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12462
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12463
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
12465
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
12468
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
12478
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
12480
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
12482
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
12485
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
12486
query method. (Robert Collins)
12488
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
12491
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
12494
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
12497
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12498
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12499
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12500
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12502
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12503
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12504
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12505
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12507
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12508
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
12513
:Released: 2005-10-28
12518
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12521
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12525
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12526
a separator, not ':'.
12529
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12530
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12531
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12533
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12534
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12537
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12538
has been added that suppresses all output.
12540
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12543
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12544
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12546
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12547
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12549
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12550
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12552
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12553
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12554
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12555
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12557
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12559
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12560
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12562
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12563
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12565
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12566
output directory, if one was supplied.
12568
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12569
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
12570
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
12571
parameters. (Robert Collins)
12573
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
12575
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
12576
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
12578
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
12579
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
12580
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
12582
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
12583
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
12585
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
12588
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
12590
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
12595
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
12596
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
12597
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
12599
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
12600
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
12601
related questions. (Robert Collins)
12603
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
12604
is given. (Martin Pool)
12606
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
12607
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
12608
file. (Robert Collins)
12610
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
12616
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
12617
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
12618
representation. (Martin Pool).
12620
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
12621
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
12622
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
12624
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12627
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
12628
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
12631
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12632
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
12633
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
12634
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
12635
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
12637
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
12638
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
12639
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
12640
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
12641
python path. (Robert Collins)
12643
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
12644
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
12645
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
12646
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
12648
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
12649
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
12651
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
12652
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
12655
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
12656
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
12657
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
12659
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
12660
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
12661
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
12663
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12664
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12666
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
12667
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
12668
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
12671
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
12672
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
12673
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
12674
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
12677
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
12680
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
12681
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
12684
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
12685
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
12686
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
12688
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
12689
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
12690
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
12692
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
12693
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
12694
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
12696
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12697
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12699
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
12700
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
12701
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
12702
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
12703
caller. (Robert Collins)
12705
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
12706
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
12709
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
12710
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
12713
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
12715
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
12716
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
12721
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
12722
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
12724
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
12725
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
12731
:Released: 2005-10-12
12736
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
12737
allow directories to be listed.
12739
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
12740
upgrading branch format.
12745
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
12751
:Released: 2005-10-11
12756
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
12757
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
12758
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
12759
high-latency connections.
12764
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
12767
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
12768
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
12770
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
12771
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
12772
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
12773
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12775
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
12776
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
12778
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
12779
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
12781
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
12782
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
12783
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12785
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
12786
for files with only a change to their executable status.
12787
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
12790
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
12791
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
12793
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
12794
different partial views of history.
12796
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
12797
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
12802
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
12803
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
12804
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12806
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
12807
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
12810
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
12811
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
12813
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
12816
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
12817
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
12819
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
12820
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
12821
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
12822
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12824
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
12826
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
12827
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
12830
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
12831
Contributed by Robert Collins.
12833
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
12834
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
12835
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
12841
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
12842
for your viewing pleasure.
12844
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
12845
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
12847
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
12848
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
12849
handling of such circumstances.
12851
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
12852
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
12853
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12855
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12857
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12858
we call them revisions not patches.
12860
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12861
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12863
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12864
giving the revision *of that file*.
12866
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
12867
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
12868
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
12873
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
12874
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
12876
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
12877
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
12883
:Released: 2005-09-23
12888
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
12890
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
12893
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
12895
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
12897
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
12898
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12903
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
12904
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
12906
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
12907
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
12908
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
12909
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
12912
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
12913
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12918
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
12920
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
12921
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
12927
:Released: 2005-09-20
12933
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
12934
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
12935
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12936
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
12939
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
12942
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12943
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12944
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12945
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12946
for the operating system is still tried.
12948
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12949
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12950
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
12956
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
12961
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
12963
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
12966
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
12973
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
12975
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

:Released: 2005-09-02
12986
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
12987
help with intelligent shell completion.
12989
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
12995
* Much better merge support.
12997
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
12998
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
13005
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
13006
mention revisions that are not present.
13008
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
13010
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
13012
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
13013
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
13019
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
13021
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
13022
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
13029
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
13030
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
13038
:Released: 2005-08-18
13043
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
13044
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
13046
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
13048
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
13049
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
13051
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
13054
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
13056
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
13059
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
13060
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
13062
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
13063
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
13064
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
13070
* Faster working tree operations.
13076
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
13077
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
13078
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
13079
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
13081
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
13082
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
13083
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
13084
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
13085
standard plugins directory.
13087
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
13088
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
13089
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
13090
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
13092
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
13093
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
13095
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
13098
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
13099
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
13100
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
13102
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
13103
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
13105
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
13106
line options must come before the command name because they
13107
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
13108
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
13111
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.

* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
13114
is available with ``--short``.
13120
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
13126
:Released: 2005-06-15
13131
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
13132
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13134
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
13135
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
13136
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
13137
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
13139
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
13140
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
13141
with the ``--forward`` option.
13143
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
13144
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
13151
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
13152
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
13154
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
13156
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
13157
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
13159
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
13161
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
13162
either read or write mode.
13164
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
13166
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
13167
affected that file.
13169
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
13171
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
13172
suggested by LarstiQ.
13174
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
13175
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
13177
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
13180
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
13181
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
13183
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
13184
haven't changed since the previous time.
13186
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
13187
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
13189
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
13191
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
13193
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
13194
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
13196
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
13197
options through to an external GNU diff.
13199
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
13202
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
13209
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
13210
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
13212
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
13219
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
13220
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
13223
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
13224
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
13226
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
13227
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
13229
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
13230
under a different version.
13232
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
13238
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
13240
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
13241
Scott James Remnant.
13243
* Better help messages for many commands.
13245
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
13246
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
13248
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
13249
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
13251
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
13253
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
13255
* New AtomicFile class.
13257
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
13263
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
13264
2.4 is now only recommended.
13270
:Released: 2005-04-22
13275
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
13276
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
13278
* More default ignore patterns.
13280
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
13281
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
13283
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
13285
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
13288
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
13294
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
13295
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
13296
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
13297
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
13298
there are DNS problems.
13300
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
13306
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
13308
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
13310
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
13311
trailing newlines properly.
13317
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
13320
* More tests in test.sh.
13322
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
13323
directory and delete it when done.
13325
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
13331
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
13334
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
13341
:Released: 2005-04-06
13346
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
13349
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
13351
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
13354
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
13357
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
13359
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
13364
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
13365
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
13371
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
13372
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
13378
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
13383
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3547
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3548
----------------------
3550
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3554
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3555
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3557
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3558
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3559
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3560
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3561
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3562
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3563
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3564
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3565
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3566
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3567
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3568
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3573
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3574
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3575
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3576
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3577
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3578
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3580
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3581
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3582
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3585
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3587
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3588
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3590
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3591
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3594
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3595
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3596
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3600
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3601
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3603
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3604
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3606
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3607
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3608
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3609
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3611
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3614
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3615
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3616
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3617
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3619
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3620
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3622
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3623
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3625
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3626
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3628
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3629
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3633
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3634
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3636
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3637
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3639
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3640
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3642
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3643
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3645
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3646
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3650
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3652
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3657
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3658
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3659
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3661
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3662
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3664
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3665
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3667
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3668
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3669
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3670
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3672
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3673
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3674
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3675
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3676
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3678
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3679
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3681
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3683
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3685
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3686
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3688
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3689
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3691
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3694
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3695
contains a symbolic link.
3696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3698
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3699
(James Westby, #140615)
3701
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3702
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3705
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3706
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3707
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3709
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3711
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3714
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3718
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3719
directory to detect leaking tests.
3720
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3722
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3723
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3724
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3726
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3729
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3730
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3732
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3737
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3738
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3740
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3741
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3742
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3744
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3745
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3746
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3748
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3749
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3751
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3752
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3754
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3755
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3758
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3759
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3761
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3762
class that needs it.
3765
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3766
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3768
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3769
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3770
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3772
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3773
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3774
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3777
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3778
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3779
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3780
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3785
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3786
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3787
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3789
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3790
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3791
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3792
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3794
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3795
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3798
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3799
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3800
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3802
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3803
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3804
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3806
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3807
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3809
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3810
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3811
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3813
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3814
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3816
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3817
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3818
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3820
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3821
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3822
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3824
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3825
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3826
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3827
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3829
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3830
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3831
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3832
returned. (Robert Collins)
3834
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3835
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3837
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3838
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3839
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3840
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3843
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3844
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3848
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3849
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3851
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3852
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3853
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3854
makes this behavior available to other users.
3857
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3858
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3866
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3867
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3868
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3870
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3872
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3873
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3874
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3875
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3877
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3878
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3882
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3883
----------------------
3885
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3886
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3889
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3890
----------------------
3894
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3895
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3896
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3897
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3900
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3901
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3902
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3907
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3908
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3909
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3912
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3913
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3914
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3916
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3917
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3918
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3920
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3921
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3923
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3924
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3925
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3926
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3927
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3928
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3929
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3930
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3931
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3932
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3934
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3935
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3937
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3938
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3939
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3943
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3944
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3946
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3947
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3948
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3950
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3951
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3953
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3954
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3956
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3959
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3960
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3962
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3963
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3965
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3966
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3968
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3969
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3971
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3973
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3976
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3977
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3978
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3979
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3981
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3983
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3984
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3987
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3988
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3990
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3991
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3994
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3995
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3997
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3998
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4000
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4001
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4002
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4003
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4004
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4005
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4006
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4008
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4009
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4011
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4012
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4014
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4015
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4017
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4018
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4020
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4022
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4024
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4025
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4027
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4028
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4029
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4031
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4032
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4033
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4037
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4038
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4040
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4043
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4046
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4047
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4049
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4051
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4052
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4054
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4055
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4057
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4058
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4059
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4060
space). (Robert Collins)
4062
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4063
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4066
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4067
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4069
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4070
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4072
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4073
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4074
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4075
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4077
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4078
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4079
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4082
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4085
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4086
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4087
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4089
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4090
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4091
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4092
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4093
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4097
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4098
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4100
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4101
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4102
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4103
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4104
affected. (Robert Collins)
4106
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4107
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4108
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4111
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4112
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4116
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4117
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4119
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4120
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4122
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4123
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4125
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4128
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4129
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4133
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4134
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4135
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4136
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4138
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4139
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4141
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4142
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4143
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4144
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4146
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4147
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4148
present. (Robert Collins)
4150
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4151
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4152
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4153
API. (Robert Collins)
4155
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4156
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4159
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4160
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4162
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4163
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4164
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4165
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4166
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4167
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4169
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4170
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4171
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4173
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4174
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4175
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4176
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4179
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4182
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4183
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4184
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4185
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4186
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4187
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4188
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4190
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4191
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4192
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4193
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4195
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4196
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4197
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4198
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4199
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4200
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4202
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4203
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4204
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4206
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4207
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4215
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4216
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4217
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4218
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4219
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4220
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4221
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4222
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4227
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4228
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4229
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4232
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4233
----------------------
4237
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4238
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4239
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4240
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4241
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4243
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4246
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4250
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4251
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4254
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4255
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4258
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4261
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4262
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4264
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4265
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4267
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4268
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4270
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4271
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4273
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4274
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4276
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4281
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4282
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4284
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4285
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4287
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4288
the repository (Robert Collins)
4290
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4291
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4292
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4293
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4294
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4296
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4297
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4299
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4300
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4301
(John Arbash Meinel)
4303
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4304
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4305
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4307
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4308
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4309
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4310
(John Arbash Meinel)
4312
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4313
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4316
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4317
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4319
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4322
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4324
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4326
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4327
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4329
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4330
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4333
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4334
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4335
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4336
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4338
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4339
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4340
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4342
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4343
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4344
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4346
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4347
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4349
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4350
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4351
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4352
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4353
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4354
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4357
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4358
(Alexander Belchenko)
4360
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4361
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4363
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4364
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4366
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4368
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4369
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4373
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4374
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4375
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4376
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4378
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4380
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4383
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4384
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4385
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4386
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4387
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4388
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4392
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4393
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4394
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4395
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4397
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4398
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4399
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4400
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4401
tests have been refactored too.
4404
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4405
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4406
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4410
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4411
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4412
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4414
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4415
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4416
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4417
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4418
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4419
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4420
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4422
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4423
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4424
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4425
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4426
(John Arbash Meinel)
4428
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4429
functionality for testing.
4431
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4433
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4434
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4436
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4438
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4441
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4442
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4444
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4445
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4446
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4448
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4451
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4452
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4454
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4455
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4456
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4457
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4459
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4460
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4462
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4463
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4464
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4466
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4469
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4470
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4471
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4472
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4473
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4474
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4476
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4477
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4478
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4479
many files. (Robert Collins)
4481
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4482
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4483
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4484
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4488
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4489
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4490
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4492
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4493
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4495
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4496
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4497
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4501
--------------------
4505
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4508
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4509
-----------------------
4513
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4514
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4516
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4517
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4518
(James Westby, #122656)
4520
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4521
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4523
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4524
authentication header.
4525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4527
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4529
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4530
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4532
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4534
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4537
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4538
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4539
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4541
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4542
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4543
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4545
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4546
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4548
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4551
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4552
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4554
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4556
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4560
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4561
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4562
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4563
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4564
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4565
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4567
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4568
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4569
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4571
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4574
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4575
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4577
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4578
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4580
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4581
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4583
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4584
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4585
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4586
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4587
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4589
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4590
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4592
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4593
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4594
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4596
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4597
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4599
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4601
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4602
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4604
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4605
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4608
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4611
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4612
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4614
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4615
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4617
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4618
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4620
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4622
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4623
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4625
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4630
* Testing cleanups -
4631
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4632
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4633
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4634
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4635
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4636
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4637
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4638
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4639
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4640
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4641
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4642
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4643
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4644
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4645
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4646
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4647
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4650
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4652
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4653
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4654
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4656
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4657
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4659
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4660
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4662
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4664
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4665
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4666
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4667
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4668
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4669
same location. (Robert Collins)
4673
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4675
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4677
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4679
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4682
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4685
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4686
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4687
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4689
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4691
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4692
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4693
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4695
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4696
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4698
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4699
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4700
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4702
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4703
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4704
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4706
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4707
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4708
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4710
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4711
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4714
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4715
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4717
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4718
(Alexander Belchenko)
4722
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4723
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4724
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4725
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4727
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4728
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4729
testing. (Robert Collins)
4731
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4732
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4734
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4735
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4736
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4737
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4738
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4739
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4740
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4742
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4743
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4744
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4745
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4747
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4748
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4750
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4751
avoid useless cloning.
4752
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4756
--------------------
4760
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4761
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4763
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
4764
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
4767
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
4768
-----------------------
4770
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4772
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4773
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4774
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4775
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4776
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4777
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4778
and unlock() like so::
4780
work_tree.lock_read()
4782
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4787
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4788
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4790
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4791
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4792
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4794
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4795
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4796
too. (Robert Collins)
4800
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4801
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4804
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4805
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4807
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4808
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4810
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4811
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4812
understanding what changes have occurred
4813
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4815
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4816
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4817
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4819
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4820
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4821
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4822
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4824
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4829
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4830
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4831
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4832
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4833
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4835
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4836
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4837
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4839
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4842
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4844
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4846
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4847
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4849
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4850
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4852
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4853
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4855
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4856
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4858
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4859
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4861
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4862
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4863
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4866
--------------------
4870
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4871
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4872
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4873
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4874
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4876
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4877
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4878
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4880
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4881
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4885
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4886
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4887
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4889
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4890
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4891
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4892
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4894
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4895
-----------------------
4899
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4900
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4901
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4902
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4904
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4905
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4906
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4908
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4909
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4911
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4912
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4914
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4915
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4917
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4918
-----------------------
4920
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4922
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4923
it could be recovered again.
4924
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4925
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4926
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4928
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4930
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4931
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4935
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4936
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4938
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4939
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4940
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4941
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4943
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4944
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4946
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4947
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4948
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4950
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4951
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4952
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4954
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4955
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4956
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4958
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4959
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4962
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4965
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4966
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4967
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4968
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4970
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4973
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4974
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4975
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4978
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4979
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4981
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4982
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4984
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4985
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4986
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4987
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4990
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4991
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4993
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4994
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4996
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4997
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4998
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5000
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5001
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5002
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5004
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5005
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5006
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5008
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5009
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5010
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5011
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5013
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5014
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5015
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5016
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5018
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5019
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5020
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5021
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5022
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5023
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5024
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5025
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5031
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5032
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5034
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5035
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5036
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5037
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5038
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5040
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5041
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5043
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5044
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5046
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5047
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5049
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5050
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5052
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5053
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5054
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5057
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5058
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5059
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5060
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5061
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5064
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5065
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5066
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5068
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5069
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5072
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5073
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5074
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5077
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5078
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5079
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5080
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5081
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5083
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5084
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5085
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5086
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5088
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5089
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5091
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5092
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5093
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5094
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5095
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5096
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5098
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5099
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5101
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5102
help. (Robert Collins)
5104
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5105
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5107
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5108
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5109
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5110
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5111
(John Arbash Meinel)
5113
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5114
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5115
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5116
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5117
useful. (Robert Collins)
5119
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5124
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5125
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5127
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5128
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5130
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5131
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5132
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5134
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5137
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5138
the file, and does it faster.
5139
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5141
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5142
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5143
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5145
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5146
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5147
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5148
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5150
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5151
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5152
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5153
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5155
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5156
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5158
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5159
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5160
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5161
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5164
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5166
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5167
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5169
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5170
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5172
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5173
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5174
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5175
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5179
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5184
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5185
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5186
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5188
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5189
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5191
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5192
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5193
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5194
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5195
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5196
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5197
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5198
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5200
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5201
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5202
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5204
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5205
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5206
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5207
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5208
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5210
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5212
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5213
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5214
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5216
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5217
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5225
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5228
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5229
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
5232
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
5233
-----------------------
5237
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5238
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5243
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5244
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5245
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5246
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5247
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5248
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5249
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5250
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5255
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5256
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5257
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5259
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5260
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5263
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5264
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5265
(John Arbash Meinel)
5267
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5268
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5269
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5270
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5271
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5275
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5278
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5279
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5281
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5282
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5284
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5285
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5286
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5288
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5289
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5291
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5292
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5293
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5294
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5295
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5297
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5298
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5299
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5301
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
5304
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
5305
-----------------------
5307
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5309
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5310
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5311
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5315
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5316
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5318
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5319
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5321
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5323
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5324
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5326
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5327
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5331
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5336
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5337
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5338
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5339
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5341
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5342
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5344
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5345
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5347
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5350
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5351
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5354
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5355
-----------------------
5359
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5360
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5361
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5362
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5363
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5364
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5366
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5367
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5368
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5369
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5370
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5371
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5373
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5375
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5376
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5377
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5378
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5379
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5380
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5381
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5382
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5386
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5387
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5389
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5390
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5391
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5392
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5394
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5395
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5396
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5397
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5398
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5400
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5403
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5406
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5409
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5410
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5413
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5416
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5417
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5419
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5420
directory. (Martin Pool)
5422
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5423
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5424
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5425
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5427
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5428
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5429
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5430
in docs/configuration.txt.
5432
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5433
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5436
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5437
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5438
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5439
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5440
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5441
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5443
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5444
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5446
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5447
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5449
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5454
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5455
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5456
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5457
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5458
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5459
(John Arbash Meinel)
5461
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5462
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5465
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5466
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5467
(John Arbash Meinel)
5469
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5470
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5471
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5472
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5473
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5474
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5476
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5477
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5478
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5480
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5481
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5482
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5483
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5485
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5487
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5488
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5489
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5490
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5492
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5493
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5494
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5495
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5497
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5498
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5499
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5501
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5502
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5503
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5505
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5506
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5507
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5508
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5510
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5511
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5512
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5514
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5515
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5516
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5518
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5519
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5520
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5521
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5522
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5523
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5524
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5525
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5526
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5527
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5528
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5532
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5533
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5534
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5536
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5539
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5540
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5541
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5542
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5544
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5545
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5548
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5549
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5551
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5553
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5554
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5555
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5557
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5558
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5560
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5561
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5563
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5566
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5567
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5569
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5571
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5572
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5576
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5577
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5581
--------------------
5585
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5589
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5590
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5591
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5593
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5594
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5595
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5598
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5599
-----------------------
5603
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5604
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5605
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5606
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5608
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5611
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5612
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5613
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5615
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5616
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5618
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5621
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5622
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5623
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5624
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5625
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5626
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5628
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5629
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5630
should enable you to do::
5632
[/home/user/project]
5633
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5634
push_location:policy = appendpath
5636
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5637
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5640
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5641
for each file. For example::
5643
$ bzr status --short
5649
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5650
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5652
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5654
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5655
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5657
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5661
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5662
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5663
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5664
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5666
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5667
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5668
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5670
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5672
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5673
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5674
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5675
(Alexander Belchenko)
5677
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5680
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5681
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5683
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5687
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5688
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5690
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5691
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5692
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5693
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5694
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5696
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5697
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5699
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5700
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5702
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5704
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5706
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5707
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5708
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5709
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5710
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5712
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5713
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5714
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5715
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5717
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5718
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5720
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5721
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5723
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5724
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5726
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

No changes from 0.13rc1
5735
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5736
-----------------------
5740
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5742
(Daniel Silverstone)
5744
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5745
operations are substantially faster.
5746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5748
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5749
tree from some other url. For example:
5750
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5751
(Daniel Silverstone)
5753
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5754
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5755
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5756
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5758
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5761
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5762
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5763
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5764
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5765
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5766
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5770
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5771
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5774
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5775
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5776
(John Arbash Meinel)
5778
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5779
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5780
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5781
(John Arbash Meinel)
5783
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5784
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5786
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5787
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5789
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5790
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5795
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5796
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5797
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5799
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5800
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5801
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5802
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5804
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5806
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5807
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5809
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5810
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5811
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5814
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5815
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5816
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5818
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5819
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5820
them as full references rather than integers.
5821
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5823
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5824
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5826
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5828
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5829
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5831
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5832
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5834
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5835
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5836
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5837
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5839
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5840
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5841
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5843
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5844
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5846
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5847
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5848
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5849
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5850
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5854
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5855
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5858
--------------------
5862
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5863
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5864
(John Arbash Meinel)
5866
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5867
-----------------------
5871
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5872
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5873
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5874
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5876
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5877
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5879
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5881
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5882
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5883
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5884
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5886
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5887
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5888
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5889
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5890
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5892
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5894
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5895
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5899
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5900
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5901
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5903
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5904
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5905
(John Arbash Meinel)
5907
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5908
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5909
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5911
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5912
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5915
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5916
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5917
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5919
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5920
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5921
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5922
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5923
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5924
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5926
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5927
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5928
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5931
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5932
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5936
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5937
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5938
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5941
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5942
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5944
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5945
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5946
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5948
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5949
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5951
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5952
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5953
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5954
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5956
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5957
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5959
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5960
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5961
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5963
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5964
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5966
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5968
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5969
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5974
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5975
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5976
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5977
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5979
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5980
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5981
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5984
--------------------
5986
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5988
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5989
-----------------------
5993
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5995
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5998
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5999
-----------------------
6003
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6004
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6005
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6006
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6007
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6008
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6009
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6011
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6012
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6013
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6015
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6017
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6018
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6020
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6021
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6022
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6025
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6026
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6027
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6028
(John Arbash Meinel)
6030
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6031
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6032
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6033
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6036
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6037
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6038
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6039
(John Arbash Meinel)
6043
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6044
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6046
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6048
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6049
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6050
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6052
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6053
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
6055
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6056
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
6058
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
6059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
6061
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6062
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6064
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6066
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6067
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6069
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6070
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6072
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6073
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6075
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6076
(John Arbash Meinel)
6078
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6079
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6080
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6082
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6083
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6085
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6086
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6087
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6088
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6090
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6091
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6092
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6094
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6095
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6099
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6103
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6104
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6105
(John Arbash Meinel)
6107
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6108
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6109
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6110
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6112
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6115
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6116
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6117
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6119
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6120
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6122
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6123
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6124
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6126
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6127
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6128
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6129
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6130
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6131
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6132
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6133
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6134
caller to repeat their request.
6135
(John Arbash Meinel)
6137
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6138
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6140
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6141
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6143
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6144
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6145
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6146
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6147
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6148
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6149
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6151
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6152
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6153
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6154
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6155
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6156
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6157
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6158
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6161
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6162
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6163
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6165
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6166
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6168
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6169
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6171
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6172
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6176
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6177
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6179
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6180
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6181
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6183
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6184
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6185
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6188
--------------------
6191
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6192
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6194
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6195
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6196
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6197
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6198
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6200
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6201
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6202
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6204
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6205
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6207
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6208
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6209
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6213
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6215
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6216
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6217
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6219
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6221
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6223
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6224
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6225
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6226
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6228
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6229
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6230
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6231
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6232
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6234
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6235
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6237
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6238
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6240
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6241
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6243
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6244
in handling of revision properties.
6245
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6247
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6248
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6252
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6253
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6254
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6255
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6256
(John Arbash Meinel)
6258
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6259
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6260
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6262
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6263
---------------------
6267
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6268
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6269
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6270
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6271
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6272
a more conservative list than the old default.
6273
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6274
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6275
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6276
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6278
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6279
to more locations than just branch locations.
6284
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6285
revno:N:branch. For example,
6286
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6287
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6289
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6290
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6291
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6292
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6293
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6294
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6295
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6296
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6299
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6300
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6301
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6304
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6305
(Alexander Belchenko)
6307
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6309
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6312
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6313
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6314
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6315
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6316
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6317
(John Arbash Meinel)
6319
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6320
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6321
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6322
grained analysis of performance.
6323
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6325
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6326
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6328
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6329
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6330
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6331
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6332
file. (Robert Collins).
6334
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6335
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6336
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6338
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6339
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6342
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6343
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6345
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6346
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6347
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6348
the same way you would apply another branch.
6349
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6351
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6352
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6354
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6357
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6360
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6361
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6362
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6364
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6365
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6366
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6368
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6369
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6371
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6372
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6373
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6374
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6375
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6377
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6378
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6380
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6381
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6382
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6383
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6384
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6385
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6386
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6387
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6389
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6390
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6391
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6395
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6397
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6399
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6400
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6402
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6403
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6405
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6406
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6408
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6410
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6411
(John Arbash Meinel)
6413
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6414
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6416
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6417
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6420
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6421
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6423
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6424
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6426
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6427
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6428
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6429
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6431
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6432
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6434
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6436
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6437
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6439
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6441
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6443
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6444
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6446
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6447
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6449
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6450
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6451
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6453
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6454
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6455
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6457
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6458
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6460
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6461
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6463
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6464
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6466
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6467
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6469
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6470
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6472
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6473
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6474
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6476
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6478
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6479
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6483
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6484
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6485
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6487
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6488
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6490
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6491
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6492
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6494
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6495
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6497
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6498
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6501
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6502
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6503
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6505
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6506
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6507
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6509
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6510
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6511
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6513
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6514
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6515
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6517
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6518
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6519
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6521
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6522
instead. (Robert Collins)
6524
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6526
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6527
---------------------
6531
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6533
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6534
---------------------
6538
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6539
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6541
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6542
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6544
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6545
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6546
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6550
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6552
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6553
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6555
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6559
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6560
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6561
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6562
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6566
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6567
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6568
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6572
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6573
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6574
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6578
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6579
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6584
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6586
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6587
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6588
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6589
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6590
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6591
will keep the same format.
6593
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6594
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6595
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6596
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6597
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6599
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6600
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6601
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6602
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6603
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6604
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6605
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6607
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6608
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6609
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6610
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6611
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6613
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6614
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6615
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6621
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6622
convention. Paths now take the form::
6624
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6626
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6628
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6629
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6631
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6632
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6633
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6635
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6636
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6637
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6638
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6640
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6641
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6642
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6644
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6646
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6648
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6649
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6652
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6653
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6656
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6658
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6659
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6660
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6663
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6665
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6667
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6670
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6671
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6673
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6674
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6677
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6678
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6681
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6683
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6685
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6686
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6688
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6689
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6690
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6691
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6692
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6693
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6695
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6697
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6698
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6701
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6702
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6704
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6705
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6707
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6709
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6710
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6711
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6712
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6713
specification by Martin Pool.
6714
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6716
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6719
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6720
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6722
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6723
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6724
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6726
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6728
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6729
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6734
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6735
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6737
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6739
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6741
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6744
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6745
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6746
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6747
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6751
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6752
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6753
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6754
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6756
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6757
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6758
tried. (Martin Pool)
6760
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6763
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6765
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6766
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6767
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6769
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6770
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6772
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6773
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6774
paths. (Robert Collins)
6776
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6777
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6778
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6780
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6781
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6782
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6784
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6785
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6786
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6788
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6791
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6794
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6796
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6798
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6799
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6800
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6803
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6804
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6806
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6807
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6808
check. (Robert Collins)
6810
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6811
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6815
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6816
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6818
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6819
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6820
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6821
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6823
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6824
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6825
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6826
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6827
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6829
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6830
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6831
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6833
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6835
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6836
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6843
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6844
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6846
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6847
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6848
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6851
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6852
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6854
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6855
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6856
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6857
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6858
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6860
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6861
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6862
used. (Robert Collins)
6864
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6865
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6868
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6869
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6870
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6872
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6875
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6876
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6880
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6881
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6883
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6885
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6887
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6888
tree. (Robert Collins)
6890
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6891
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6892
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6895
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6898
* Tweaks to short log printing
6900
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6903
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6904
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6906
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6907
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6909
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6910
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6912
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6913
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6914
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6916
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6917
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6919
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6920
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6923
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6924
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6926
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6927
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6929
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6930
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6932
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6935
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6936
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6938
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6939
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6941
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6942
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6943
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6947
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6949
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6951
* Error when run with -OO
6953
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6956
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6958
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6960
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6961
ignored by diff and status
6963
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6964
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6966
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6968
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6970
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6971
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6973
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6974
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6976
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6979
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6980
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6982
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6984
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6985
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6987
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6990
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6991
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6993
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6997
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6998
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7000
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7002
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7004
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7006
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7007
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7008
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7010
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7012
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7013
(John Arbash Meinel)
7015
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7017
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7018
If adding a new test script please add that to
7019
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7021
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7022
imported. (Martin Pool)
7024
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7025
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7026
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7027
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7028
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7031
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7032
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7033
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7035
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7036
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7037
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7039
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7040
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7041
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7042
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7043
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7046
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7047
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7052
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7053
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7055
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7056
function. (Robert Collins)
7058
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7059
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7060
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7062
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7063
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7066
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7067
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7068
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7069
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7070
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7071
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7072
version. (Robert Collins)
7074
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7075
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7077
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7078
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7079
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7080
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7081
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7082
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7084
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7087
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7097
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7099
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7101
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7104
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7105
query method. (Robert Collins)
7107
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7110
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7113
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7116
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7117
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7118
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7119
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7121
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7122
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7123
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7124
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7126
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7127
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7134
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7137
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7141
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7142
a separator, not ':'.
7145
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7146
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7147
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7149
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7150
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7153
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7154
has been added that suppresses all output.
7156
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7159
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7160
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7162
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7163
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7165
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7166
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7168
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7169
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7170
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7171
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7173
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7175
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7176
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7178
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7179
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7181
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7182
output directory, if one was supplied.
7184
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7185
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7186
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7187
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7189
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7191
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7192
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7194
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7195
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7196
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7198
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7199
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7201
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7204
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7206
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7210
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7211
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7212
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7214
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7215
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7216
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7218
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7219
is given. (Martin Pool)
7221
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7222
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7223
file. (Robert Collins)
7225
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7230
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7231
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7232
representation. (Martin Pool).
7234
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7235
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7236
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7238
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7241
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7242
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7245
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7246
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7247
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7248
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7249
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7251
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7252
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7253
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7254
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7255
python path. (Robert Collins)
7257
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7258
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7259
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7260
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7262
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7263
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7265
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7266
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7269
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7270
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7271
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7273
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7274
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7275
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7277
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7278
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7280
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7281
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7282
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7285
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7286
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7287
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7288
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7291
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7294
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7295
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7298
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7299
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7300
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7302
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7303
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7304
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7306
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7307
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7308
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7310
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7311
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7313
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7314
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7315
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7316
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7317
caller. (Robert Collins)
7319
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7320
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7323
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7324
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7327
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7329
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7330
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7334
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7335
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7337
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7338
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
7341
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7342
--------------------
7346
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7347
allow directories to be listed.
7349
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7350
upgrading branch format.
7354
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7362
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7363
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7364
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7365
high-latency connections.
7369
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7372
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7373
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7375
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7376
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7377
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7378
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7380
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7381
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7383
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7384
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7386
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7387
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7388
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7390
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7391
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7392
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7395
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7396
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7398
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7399
different partial views of history.
7401
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7402
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7406
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7407
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7408
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7410
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7411
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7414
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7415
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7417
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7420
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7421
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7423
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7424
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7425
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7426
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7428
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7430
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7431
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7434
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7435
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7437
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7438
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7439
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7444
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7445
for your viewing pleasure.
7447
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7448
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7450
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7451
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7452
handling of such circumstances.
7454
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7455
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7456
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7458
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7460
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7461
we call them revisions not patches.
7463
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7464
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7466
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7467
giving the revision *of that file*.
7469
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7470
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7471
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7475
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7476
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7478
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7479
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7482
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7483
--------------------
7487
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7489
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7492
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7494
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7496
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7497
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7501
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7502
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7504
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7505
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7506
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7507
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7510
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7511
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7515
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7517
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7518
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7521
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7522
--------------------
7526
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7527
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7528
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7529
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7532
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7535
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7536
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7537
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7538
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7539
for the operating system is still tried.
7541
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7542
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7543
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7548
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7552
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7554
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7557
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7563
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7565
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7568
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7569
--------------------
7573
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7574
help with intelligent shell completion.
7576
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7581
* Much better merge support.
7583
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7584
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7590
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7591
mention revisions that are not present.
7593
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7595
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7597
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7598
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7603
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7605
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7606
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7612
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7613
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7618
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7619
--------------------
7623
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7624
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7626
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7628
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7629
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7631
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7634
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7636
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7639
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7640
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7642
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7643
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7644
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7649
* Faster working tree operations.
7654
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7655
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7656
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7657
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7659
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7660
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7661
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7662
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7663
standard plugins directory.
7665
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7666
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7667
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7668
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7670
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7671
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7673
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7676
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7677
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7678
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7680
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7681
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7683
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7684
line options must come before the command name because they
7685
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7686
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7689
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7691
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7692
is available with ``--short``.
7697
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7700
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7701
---------------------
7705
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7706
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7708
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7709
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7710
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7711
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7713
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7714
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7715
with the ``--forward`` option.
7717
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7718
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7724
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7725
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7727
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7729
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7730
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7732
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7734
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7735
either read or write mode.
7737
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7739
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7742
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7744
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7745
suggested by LarstiQ.
7747
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7748
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7750
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7753
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7754
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7756
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7757
haven't changed since the previous time.
7759
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7760
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7762
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7764
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7766
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7767
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7769
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7770
options through to an external GNU diff.
7772
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7775
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7781
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7782
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7784
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7790
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7791
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7794
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7795
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7797
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7798
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7800
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7801
under a different version.
7803
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7808
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
7810
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
7811
Scott James Remnant.
7813
* Better help messages for many commands.
7815
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7816
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7818
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7819
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7821
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7823
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7825
* New AtomicFile class.
7827
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7832
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
7833
2.4 is now only recommended.
7836
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7837
---------------------
7841
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7842
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7844
* More default ignore patterns.
7846
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7847
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7849
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7851
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7854
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7859
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7860
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7861
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7862
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7863
there are DNS problems.
7865
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7870
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7872
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7874
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7875
trailing newlines properly.
7880
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7883
* More tests in test.sh.
7885
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7886
directory and delete it when done.
7888
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7893
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7896
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7900
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
7901
---------------------
7905
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
7908
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
7910
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
