Replace the existing KnownGraph._find_gdfo.
* bzrlib/_known_graph_pyx.pyx:
(_find_gdfo): pyrex version, almost as fast as the previous one,
but we don't need the linear dominator so we can potentially save
some time during __init__.
* bzrlib/_known_graph_py.py:
(KnownGraph._find_gdfo): Get rid of the inner function to stay in
sync with the pyrex version.

bzr-0.0.5 NOT RELEASED YET
2
3
CHANGES:
4
5
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7
8
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
10
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
11
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
12
13
14
ENHANCEMENTS:
15
16
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
17
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
18
19
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
20
21
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
22
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
23
24
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
25
26
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
27
either read or write mode.
28
29
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
30
31
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
32
affected that file.
33
34
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
35
36
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
37
suggested by LarstiQ.
38
39
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
40
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
41
42
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
43
a filename.
44
45
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
46
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
47
48
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
49
haven't changed since the previous time.
50
51
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
52
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
53
54
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
55
56
57
BUG FIXES:
58
59
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
60
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
61
62
63
TESTING:
64
65
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
66
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
67
the tests.
68
69
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
70
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
71
72
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
73
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
74
75
76
INTERNAL:
77
78
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
79
80
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
81
Scott James Remnant.
82
83
* Better help messages for many commands.
84
85
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
86
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
87
88
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
89
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
90
91
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
92
93
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
94
95
* New AtomicFile class.
96
97
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
98
99
100
PORTABILITY:
101
102
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
103
2.4 is now only recommended.

New Features
13
************
14
15
* ``bzr push`` now checks if uncommitted changes are present in the working
16
tree if the ``--strict`` option is used.
17
(Vincent Ladeuil, #284038)

Bug Fixes
21
*********
22
23
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
24
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
25
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
26
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
27
28
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
29
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
30
31
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
32
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
33
34
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
35
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
36
(Martin Pool, #339385)
37
38
Internals
39
*********
40
41
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
42
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
43
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
44
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
45
(Robert Collins)
46
47
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
48
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
49
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
50
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
51
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
52
(John Arbash Meinel)

55
Improvements
56
************
57
58
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
59
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
60
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)

***********
70
71
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
72
(Martin Pool)
73
74
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
75
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
76
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

#####################################################

:Codename: yesterday-in-california
82
83
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
84
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
85
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
86
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
87
88
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
89
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
90
bug fixes and improvements.
91
92
93
Compatibility Breaks
94
********************
95
96
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
97
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)

101
New Features
102
************
103
104
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
105
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
106
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
107
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
108
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
109
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
110
in bzr 2.0.
111
112
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
113
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
114
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
115
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
116
117
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
118
and more concisely repacks the full history.
119
120
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
121
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
122
123
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
124
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
125
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
126
127
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
128
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
129
130
Improvements
131
************
132
133
134
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
135
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
136
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
137
138
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
139
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
140
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
141
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
142
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
143
144
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
145
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
146
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
147
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
148
149
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
150
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
151
* diff (2X faster)
152
* tags (70X faster)
153
154
(Ian Clatworthy)
155
156
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
157
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
158
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
159
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
160
161
162
Bug Fixes
163
*********
164
165
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
166
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
167
168
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
169
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
170
171
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
172
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
173
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
174
175
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
176
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
177
178
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
179
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
180
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
181
182
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
183
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
184
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
185
(John Arbash Meinel)
186
187
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
188
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
189
190
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
191
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
192
193
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
194
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
195
196
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
197
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
198
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
199
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
200
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
201
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
202
bug-free) methods.
203
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
204
205
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
206
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
207
208
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
209
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
210
211
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
212
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
213
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
214
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
215
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
216
217
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
218
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
219
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
220
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
221
222
Documentation
223
*************
224
225
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.

227
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
228

API Changes
231
***********
232
233
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
234
235
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
236
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
237
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
238
239
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
240
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
241
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
242
243
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
244
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
245
246
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
247
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
248
249
Internals
250
*********
251
252
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
253
repositories. (Martin Pool)
254
255
Testing
256
*******
257
258
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
259
260
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
261
262
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)

270
271
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
272
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
273
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
274
revisions introduce the exact same line.
275
276
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2

*****************************
278
279

Compatibility Breaks
296
********************
297
298
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
299
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
300
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
301
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
302
303
New Features
304
************
305
306
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
307
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
308
(Jelmer Vernooij)
309
310
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
311
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
312
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
313
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
314
315
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
316
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
317
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
318
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
319
320
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
321
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
322
(Jelmer Vernooij)
323
324
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
325
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
326
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
327
328
Improvements
329
************
330
331
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
332
server. (Jonathan Lange)
333
334
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
335
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
336
337
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
338
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
339
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
340
341
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
342
343
Bug Fixes
344
*********
345
346
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.

* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
350
351
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
352
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
353
354
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
355
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
356
357
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
358
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
359
360
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
361
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
362
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
363
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
364
365
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
367
368
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
369
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
370
371
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
372
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
373
374
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
375
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
376
377
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
378
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
379
380
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
382
383
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
384
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
385
386
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
387
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
388
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
389
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
390
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
391
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
392
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
393
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
394
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
395
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
396
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
397
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
398
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
399
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
400
401
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
402
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
403
(Robert Collins, #368921)
404
405
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.

API Changes
412
***********
413
414
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
415
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
416
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
417
418
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
419
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
420
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
421
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
422
(Alexander Belchenko)
423
424
Internals
425
*********
426
427
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
428
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
429
encoding. (Robert Collins)
430
431
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
432
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
433
(Robert Collins)
434
435
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
436
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
437
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
438
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
439
configuration. (Robert Collins)
440
441
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
442
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
443
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
444
445
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
446
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
447
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
448
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
449
450
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
451
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
452
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
453
454
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
455
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
456
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
457
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
458
459
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
460
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
461
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
462
463
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
464
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
465
466
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
467
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
468
branches. (Robert Collins)
469
470
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
471
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
472
473
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
474
475
Testing
476
*******
477
478
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
479
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
530
********************
531
532
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
533
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
534
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
535
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
536
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
537
538
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
539
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
540
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
541
542
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
543
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
544
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
545
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
546
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
547
548
New Features
549
************
550
551
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
552
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
553
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
554
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
555
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
556
(Ian Clatworthy)
557
558
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
559
(Aaron Bentley)
560
561
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
562
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
563
564
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
565
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
566
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
567
directory, not just the directory object itself.
568
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
569
570
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
571
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
572
573
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
574
(Aaron bentley)
575
576
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
577
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
578
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
579
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
580
(Ian Clatworthy)
581
582
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
583
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
584
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
585
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
586
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
587
588
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
589
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
590
(Ian Clatworthy)
591
592
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
593
(Aaron Bentley)
594
595
Improvements
596
************
597
598
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
599
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
600
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
601
602
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
603
the data when the target repository does not need topological
604
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
605
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
606
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
607
608
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
609
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
610
(Ian Clatworthy)
611
612
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
613
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
614
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
615
616
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
617
(Ian Clatworthy)
618
619
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
620
(Ian Clatworthy)
621
622
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
623
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
624
625
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
626
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
627
628
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
629
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
630
631
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
632
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
633
#294479)
634
635
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
636
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
637
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
638
639
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
640
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
641
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
642
(Ian Clatworthy)
643
644
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
645
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
646
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
647
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
648
649
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
650
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
651
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
652
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
653
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
654
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
655
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
656
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
657
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
658
659
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!

Bug Fixes
663
*********
664
665
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
666
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
667
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
668
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
669
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
670
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
671
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
672
673
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
674
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
675
676
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
677
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
678
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
679
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
680
681
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
682
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
683
684
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
685
686
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
687
#313028)
688
689
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
690
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
691
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
692
693
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
694
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
695
696
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
697
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
698
699
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
700
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
701
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
702
703
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
704
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
705
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
706
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
707
708
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
709
710
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
711
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
712
713
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
714
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
715
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
716
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
717
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
718
719
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
720
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
721
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
722
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
723
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
724
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
725
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
726
727
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
728
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
729
730
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
731
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
732
(Andrea Bolognani)
733
734
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
735
(James Westby, #341558)
736
737
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
738
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
739
740
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
741
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
742
743
Documentation
744
*************
745
746
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
747
748
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
749
750
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.

API Changes
754
***********
755
756
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
757
(Martin Pool)
758
759
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
760
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
761
(Robert Collins)
762
763
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
764
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
765
(Jelmer Vernooij)
766
767
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
768
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
769
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
770
771
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
772
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
773
Meinel, Robert Collins)
774
775
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
776
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
777
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
778
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
779
(Ian Clatworthy)
780
781
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
782
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
783
(Jean-Francois Roy)
784
785
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
786
(Martin Pool)
787
788
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
789
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
790
791
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
792
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
793
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
794
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
795
796
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
797
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
798
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
799
800
Testing
801
*******
802
803
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
804
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
805
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
806
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
807
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
808
809
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
810
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
811
812
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
813
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
814
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
815
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
816

*********
820
821
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
822
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
823
824
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
825
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
826
827
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
828
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
829
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
830
831
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
832
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
833
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
834
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
835
836
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
837
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
838
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
839
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
840
841
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
842
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
843
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
844
845
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
846
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
847
dependency. (Robert Collins)
848
849
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
850
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
851
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
852
853
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
854
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
855
(Robert Collins)
856
857
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
858
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
859
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
860
861
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
862
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
863
864
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
865
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
866
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
867
868
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
869
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
870
(Jelmer Vernooij)
871
872
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
873
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
874
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
875
876
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
877
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
878
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
879
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
880
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
881
882
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
883
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
884
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
885
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
886
887
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
888
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
889
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
890
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
891
892
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
893
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
894
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
895
896
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
897
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
898
(Andrew Bennetts)
899
900
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
901
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
902
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
903
904
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
905
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
906
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
907
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
908
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
909
910
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
911
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
912
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
913
Vincent Ladeuil)
914
915
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
916
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
917
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
918
desired. (Robert Collins)
919
920
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
921
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
922
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
923
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
924
925
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
926
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
927
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
944
*****************************
945
946
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
947
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
948
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
949
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
950
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
951
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
952
appeared now.

964
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C

973
974
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules

New Features
1001
************
1002
1003
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1004
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1005
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1006
1007
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1008
(Martin Pool)
1009
1010
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1011
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1012
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1013
(Ian Clatworthy)
1014
1015
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1016
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1017
1018
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1019
(John Arbash Meinel)
1020
1021
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1022
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1023
1024
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1025
1026
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1027
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1028
(Jonathan Lange)
1029
1030
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1031
(Jonathan Lange)
1032
1033
Improvements
1034
************
1035
1036
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1037
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1038
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1039
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1040
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1041
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1042
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1043
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1044
(Robert Collins)
1045
1046
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1047
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1048
1049
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1050
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1051
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1052
1053
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1054
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1055
1056
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1057
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1058
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1059
(Ian Clatworthy)
1060
1061
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1062
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1063
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1064
1065
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1066
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1067
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1068
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1069
1070
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1071
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1072
1073
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1074
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1075
1076
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1077
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1078
1079
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1080
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1081
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1082
1083
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1084
1085
Bug Fixes
1086
*********
1087
1088
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1089
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1090
1091
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1092
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1093
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1094
1095
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1096
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1097
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1098
1099
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1100
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1101
1102
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1103
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1104
Vernooij, #315048)
1105
1106
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1107
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1108
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1109
1110
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1111
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1112
1113
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1114
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1115
1116
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1117
(James Westby, #174539)
1118
1119
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1120
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1121
1122
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1123
error branching from old repositories.
1124
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1125
1126
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1127
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1128
1129
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1130
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1131
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1132
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1133
1134
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1135
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1136
#334808)
1137
1138
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1139
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1140
1141
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1142
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1143
1144
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1145
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1146
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1147
1148
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1149
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1150
1151
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1152
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1153
1154
Documentation
1155
*************
1156
1157
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1158
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1159
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1160
(Ian Clatworthy)
1161
1162
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1163
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1164
1165
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

1168
API Changes
1169
***********
1170
1171
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1172
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1173
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1174
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1175
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1176
1177
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1178
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1179
1180
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1181
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1182
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1183
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1184
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1185
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1186
1187
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1188
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1189
1190
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1191
"author" argument being deprecated.
1192
1193
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1194
1195
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1196
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1197
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1198
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1199
1200
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1201
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1202
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1203
1204
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1205
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1206
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1207
1208
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1209
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1210
1211
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1212
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1213
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1214
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1215
1216
Internals
1217
*********
1218
1219
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1220
free of virtual file system methods.
1221
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1222
1223
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1224
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1225
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1226
1227
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1228
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1229
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1230
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1231
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1232
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1233
1234
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1235
1236
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1237
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1238
1239
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1240
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1241
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1242
stream the operation.
1243
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1244
1245
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1246
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1247
1248
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1249
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1250
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1251
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1252
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1253
1254
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1255
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1256
1257
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1258
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1259
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1260
1261
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1262
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1263
(Robert Collins)
1264
1265
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1266
(Robert Collins)
1267
1268
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1269
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1270
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1271
1272
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1273
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1274
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1275
1276
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1277
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1278
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1279
1280
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1281
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1282
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1283
1284
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1285
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1286
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1287
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1288
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1289
1290
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1291
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1292
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1293
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1294
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1295
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1296
1297
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1298
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1299
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1300
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1301
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1302
1303
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1304
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1305
1306
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1307
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1308
1309
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1310
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1311
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1312
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1313
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1314
1315
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1316
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1328
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1329
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1330
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1331
by showing the rate of network IO.
1332
1333
Changes from RC1 to Final
1334
*************************
1335
1336
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1337
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1338
1339
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1340
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1341
1342
Compatibility Breaks
1343
********************
1344
1345
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1346
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1347
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1348
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1349
1350
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1351
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1352
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1353
(Ian Clatworthy)
1354
1355
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1356
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1357
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1358
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1359
1360
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1361
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1362
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1363
(Ian Clatworthy)
1364
1365
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1366
1367
New Features
1368
************
1369
1370
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1371
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1372
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1373
(Marius Kruger)
1374
1375
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1376
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1377
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1378
1379
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1380
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1381
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1382
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1383
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1384
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1385
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1386
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1387
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1388
(Ian Clatworthy)
1389
1390
Improvements
1391
************
1392
1393
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1394
(Daniel Watkins)
1395
1396
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1397
(Marius Kruger)
1398
1399
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1400
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1401
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1402
1403
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1404
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1405
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1406
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1407
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1408
1409
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1410
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1411
1412
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1413
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1414
level for better precision.
1415
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1416
1417
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1418
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1419
1420
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1421
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1422
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1423
1424
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1425
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1426
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1427
(Andrew Bennetts)
1428
1429
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1430
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1431
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1432
1433
Bug Fixes
1434
*********
1435
1436
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1437
anymore.
1438
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1439
1440
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1441
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1442
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1443
1444
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1445
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1446
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1447
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1448
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1449
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1450
1451
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1452
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1453
1454
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1455
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1456
1457
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1458
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1459
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1460
1461
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1462
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1463
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1464
(Andrew Bennetts)
1465
1466
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1467
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1468
1469
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1470
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1471
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1472
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1473
1474
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1475
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1476
handled.
1477
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1478
1479
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1480
1481

1482
*************
1483
1484
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1485
1486
API Changes
1487
***********
1488
1489
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1490
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1491
(Martin Pool)
1492
1493
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1494
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1495
1496
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1497
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1498
1499
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1500
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1501
1502
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1503
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1504
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1505
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1506
1507
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1508
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1509
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
1510
1511
Internals
1512
*********
1513
1514
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1515
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1516
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1517
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1518
compile buffers, are such an example).
1519
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1520
1521
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1522
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1523
(Ian Clatworthy)
1524
1525
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1526
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1527
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1528
(Ian Clatworthy)
1529
1530
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1531
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1532
1533
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
1534
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
1540
1541
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1542
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1543
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1544
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1545
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1546
1547
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1548
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
1549
advice.
1550
1551
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
1552
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

*******
1570
1571
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
1572
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1573
1574
New Features
1575
************
1576
1577
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
1578
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
1579
1580
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
1581
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
1582
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
1583
implement other plugins.
1584
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1585
1586
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
1587
(Aaron Bentley)

Improvements
1590
************
1591
1592
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
1593
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
1594
1595
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
1596
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1597
1598
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1599
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1600
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1601
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1602
(Mark Hammond)
1603
1604
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1605
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1606
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1607
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1608
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1609
1610
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1611
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1612
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1613
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1614
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1615
1616
Bug Fixes
1617
*********
1618
1619
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1620
control directory. (#139691)
1621
1622
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1623
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1624
1625
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1626
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1627
1628
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1629
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1630
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1631
1632
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1633
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1634
1635
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1636
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1637
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1638
1639
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1640
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)

1642
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1643
(Jari Aalto)
1644
1645
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1646
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1647
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1648
1649
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1650
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1651
1652
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1653
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1654
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1655
1656
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1657
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1658
in the appropriate sections.
1659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1660
1661
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1662
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1663
(John Arbash meinel)
1664
1665
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1666
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1667
1668
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1670
1671
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1672
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1673
1674
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1675
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1676
work better with how it splits its requests.
1677
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1678
1679
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1680
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1681
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1682
1683
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1684
(Aaron Bentley)
1685
1686
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1687
1688
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1689
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1690
1691
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
1692
Duffy, #314251)

Documentation
1695
*************
1696
1697
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1698
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1699
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1700
(Ian Clatworthy)
1701
1702
API Changes
1703
***********
1704
1705
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1706
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1707
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1708
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1709
1710
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1711
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1712
1713
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1714
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1715
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1716
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1717
1718
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1719
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1720
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1721
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1722
1723
Testing
1724
*******
1725
1726
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1727
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1728
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1729
1730
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1731
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1732
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1733
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1734
1735
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1736
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending

1743
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1744
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1745
(John Arbash Meinel)
1746
1747
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1748
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1749
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1750
(John Arbash Meinel)
1751
1752
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1753
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1754
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1755
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1756
1757
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1758
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1759
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1760
1761
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1762
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1763
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1764
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1765
1766
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1767
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1768
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1769
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1770
(John Arbash Meinel)
1771
1772
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1773
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1774
1775
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1776
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1777
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1778
1779
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1780
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1781
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1782
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1783
1784
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1785
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1786
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1787
(John Arbash Meinel)
1788
1789
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1790
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1791
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1792
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1793
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1794
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1795
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1796
1797
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1798
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1806
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1807
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1808
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1809
implementation.
1810

1813
bug Fixes
1814
*********
1815
1816
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1817
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1818
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1819
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1820
1821
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1822
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1823
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1824
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1825
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1832
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1833
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1834
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1835
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

New Features
1838
************
1839
1840
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1841
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1842
1843
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
1847
************
1848
1849
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1850
history just to set the last revision info.
1851
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1852
1853
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1854
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1855
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1856
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1857
1858
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1859
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1860
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1861
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1862
(John Arbash Meinel)
1863
1864
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1865
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1866
1867
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1868
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1869
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1870
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1871
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1872
1873
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1874
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1875
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1876
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1877
1878
Bug Fixes
1879
*********
1880
1881
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1882
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1883
1884
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1885
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1886
1887
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1888
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1889
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1890
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1891
1892
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1893
starting with a dotted revno.
1894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1895
1896
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1897
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1898
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1899
1900
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1901
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1902
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1903
1904
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1905
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1906
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1907
1908
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1909
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1910
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1911
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1912
1913
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1914
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1915
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1916
1917
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
1918
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
1919
1920
API Changes
1921
***********
1922
1923
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1924
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1925
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1926
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1927
1928
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1929
have changed incompatibly.
1930
1931
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1932
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1933
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1934
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1935
don't need to change.
1936
1937
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1938
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
1939
1940
Testing
1941
*******
1942
1943
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
1944
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
1945
1946
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)

This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1953
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1954
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1955
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1956
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1957
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.

1965
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)

1978
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1979
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1980
1981
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1982
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1983
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1984
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1985
1986
Improvements
1987
************
1988
1989
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1990
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1991
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1992
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1993
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1994
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1995
1996
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1997
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1998
1999
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2000
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2001
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2002
2003
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2004
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2005
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2006
(Andrew Bennetts)
2007
2008
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2009
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2010
2011
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2012
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2013
2014
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2015
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2016
2017
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2018
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2019
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2020
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2021
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2022
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2023
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2024
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2025
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2026
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2027
2028
Bug Fixes
2029
*********
2030
2031
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2032
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2033
2034
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2035
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2036
2037
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2038
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2039
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2040
2041
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2042
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2043
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2044
2045
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2046
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2047
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2048
2049
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2050
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2051
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2052
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2053
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2054
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2055
2056
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2057
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2058
2059
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2060
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2061
2062
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2063
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2064
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2065
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2066
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2067
2068
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2069
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2070
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

*******
2117
2118
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2119
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2120
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2121
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2122
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2123
2124
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2125
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2126
2127
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2128
server. (Marius Kruger)
2129
2130
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2131
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2132
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2133
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2134
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2135
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)

2147
************
2148
2149
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2150
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2151
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2152
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2153
2154
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2155
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2156
(Daniel Watkins)
2157
2158
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2159
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2160
(Andrew Bennetts)
2161
2162
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.

* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2168
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2169
2170
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2171
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2172
2173
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2174
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2175
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2176
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2177
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2178
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2179
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2180
operations. (Robert Collins)
2181
2182
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2183
2184
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2185
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2186
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)

2196
repository now preserves the repository format.

2411
2412
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2413
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2414
(Martin Pool)
2415
2416
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2417
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2418
2419
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2420
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2421
(Marius Kruger)
2422
2423
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2424
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2425
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2426
(John Arbash Meinel)
2427
2428
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2429
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2430
2431
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2432
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2433
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2434
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2435
(John Arbash Meinel)
2436
2437
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2438
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2439
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2440
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2441
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2442
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2443
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2444
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2445
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2446
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

2450

* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2452
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2453
2454
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2455
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2456
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2457
2458
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2459
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2460
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2461
2462
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2463
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2464
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2465
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2466
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2467
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2468
2469
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2470
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2471
2472
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2473
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2474
2475
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2476
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2477
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2478
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2479
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2480
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2481
2482
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2483
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2484
2485
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2486
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2487
2488
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2489
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2490
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2491
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2492
2493
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2494
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2495
2496
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2497
assuming the host name is ascii.
2498
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2499

addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2533

2541
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)

2550
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
2551
(Robert Collins)
2552
2553
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
2554
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
2555
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
2556
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
2557
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2558
2559
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
2560
is unknown in both source and target.
2561
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
2562
2563
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
2564
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
2565
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
2566
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2567
2568
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
2569
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
2570
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
2571
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

2597
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2598
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2599
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2600
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2601
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2602
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2603
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2604
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2605
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2606
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2607
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2608
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.

Bug Fixes
2611
*********
2612
2613
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2614
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2615
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2616
start of the string (causing more copies).
2617
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2618
especially for projects with large files.
2619
(John Arbash Meinel)
2620
2621
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2622
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2623
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2624
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2625
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2626
2627
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2628
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2629
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2630
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2631
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to

support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will

2694
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
2695
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
2696
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
2697
2698
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
2699
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
2700
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
2701
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
2702
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
2703
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
2704
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)

2722
2723
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
2724
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
2725
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
2726
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
2727
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
2728
2729
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
2730
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2731

* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
2733
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
2734

* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
2736
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
2737
2738
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
2739
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
2740
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
2741
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
2742
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
2743
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

2749
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
2750
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
2751
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
2752
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
2753
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
2754
2755
Changes
2756
*******
2757
2758
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
2759
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
2760
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
2761

2764
2765
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
2766
check. (Daniel Watkins)
2767
2768
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
2769
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
2770
2771
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
2772
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
2773
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2774
2775
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
2776
(James Westby)
2777
2778
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
2779
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
2780
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
2781
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
2782
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
2783
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
2784
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2785
2786
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
2787
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
2788
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)

2794
physical repository boundaries.

2796
2797
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2798
(Martin Pool, #206258)

* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2801
support stacking, even if the origin does not.

2803
2804
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2805
(Ian Clatworthy)
2806
2807
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2808
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2809
that Python is running from.
2810
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2811
2812
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2813
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2814
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2815

* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2817
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)

* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
2820
smart server protocol to or from Windows.

API Changes
2830
***********
2831
2832
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2833
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2834
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2835
(Robert Collins)
2836
2837
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2838
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2839
(Robert Collins)
2840
2841
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2842
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2843
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2844
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2845
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2846
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2847
(Robert Collins)
2848
2849
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2850
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2851
2852
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2853
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2854
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2855
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2856
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2857
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2858
2859
Internals
2860
*********
2861
2862
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2863
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2864
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2865
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2866
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2867
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2868
2869
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2870
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2871
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2872
2873
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2874
(Ian Clatworthy)
2875
2876
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2877
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)

This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2887
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2888
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2889
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2890
bug fixes.
2891
2892
Features
2893
********
2894
2895
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2896
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2897
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2898
2899
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2900
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2901
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2902
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2903
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2904
(Ian Clatworthy)
2905
2906
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2907
2908
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2909
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2910
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2911
(Robert Collins)
2912
2913
Improvements
2914
************
2915
2916
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2917
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2918
(Martin Pool)
2919
2920
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2921
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2922
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2923
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2924
2925
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2926
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2927
(Christophe Troestler)
2928
2929
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2930
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2931
2932
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2933
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2934
faster. The new request method name is
2935
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
2938
*********
2939
2940
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2941
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2942
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2943
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2944
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2945
2946
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2947
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2948
2949
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2950
requires a branch to be present.
2951
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2952
2953
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2954
loaded.
2955
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2956
2957
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2958
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2959
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2960
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2961
2962
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2963
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2964
2965
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2966
name contains an @.
2967
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2968
2969
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2970
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2971
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2972
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2973
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2974
2975
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2976
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2977
2978
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2979
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2980
2981
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2982
Cygwin Bazaar.
2983
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2984
2985
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.

3005
3006
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3007
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3008
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3009
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)

3017
Repository docstring for more details.
3018
(Robert Collins)
3019
3020
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3021
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3022
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3023
3024
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3025
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3026
(Daniel Watkins)
3027
3028
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3029
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3030
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests

* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3040

3041
containing a given location.
3042

3082

Notes When Upgrading
3153
********************
3154
3155
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3156
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3157
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3158
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3159
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3160
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3161
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

3166
3167
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3168
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.

3175
load. (James Westby)
3176

Improvements
3178
************
3179
3180
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3181
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3182
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3183
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3184
3185
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3186
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3187
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3188
3189
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3190
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3191
3192
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3193
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3194
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3195
3196
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3197
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3198
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3199
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3200
step closer to not using full revision history.

Bugfixes
3204
********
3205
3206
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3207
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3208
3209
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3210
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3211
3212
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3213
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3214
3215
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3216
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3217
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3218
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3219
3220
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3221
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3222
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3223
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3224
3225
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3226
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3227
in use by another process.
3228
(Martin Pool)
3229
3230
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3231
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3232
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3233
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3234
3235
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3236
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3237
3238
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3239
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3240
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3241
3242
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3243
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3245
3246
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3247
them.
3248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3249
3250
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3251
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3252
3253
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3254
under vim on Mac OS X.
3255
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3256
3257

3267
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3268
(Ian Clatworthy)
3269
3270

* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3283
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3284

*********
3290
3291
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3292
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3293
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3294
(John Arbash Meinel)
3295
3296
API Changes
3297
***********
3298
3299
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3300
instead. (Martin Pool)
3301
3302
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3303
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3304
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3305
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3306
3307
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3308
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3309
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3310
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3311
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3312
3313
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3314
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3315
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3316
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3317
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3318
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3319
3320
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3321
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3322
(Martin Pool)
3323
3324
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3325
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3326
(Robert Collins)
3327
3328
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3329
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3330
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3331
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3332
3333
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3334
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3335
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3336
3337
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3338
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3339
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3340
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3341
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3342
(Martin Pool)
3343
3344
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3345
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3346
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3347
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3348
(Robert Collins)
3349
3350
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3351
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3352
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3353
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3354
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3355
3356
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

3446
3447
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break

* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3613
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3614
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3615
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3616
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3617
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
3618
Andrew Cowie)
3619
3620
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
3621
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3622
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.

********
3627
3628
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3629
3630
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3631
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3632
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3633
3634
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3635
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3636
See the User Reference for signature details.
3637

3642
Improvements
3643
************
3644
3645
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3646
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3647
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3648
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3649
3650
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3651
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3652
3653
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3654
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3655
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3656
Wouter van Heyst)
3657
3658
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3659
(Chad Miller)
3660
3661
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3662
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3663
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3664
3665
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3666
(Aaron Bentley)
3667
3668
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3669
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3670
3671
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3672
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3673
3674
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3675
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3676
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3677
3678
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3679
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3680
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3681
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3682
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3683
3684
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3685
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3686
3687
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3688
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3689
3690
Bugfixes
3691
********
3692
3693
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3694
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3695
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3696
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3697
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3698
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3699
3700
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3701
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3702
3703
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3704
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3705
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
3706
3707
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
3708
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
3709
3710
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
3711
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
3712
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
3713
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3714
3715
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3716
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3717
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3718
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3719
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
3720
3721
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
3722
3723
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
3724
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
3725
3726
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
3727
3728
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
3729
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
3730
3731
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

**********
3747
3748
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3749
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3750
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3751
3752
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3753
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3754
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3755
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3756
3757
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3758
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3759
release. (James Westby)
3760
3761
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3762
(Andrew Bennetts)
3763
3764
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3765
3766
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3767
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3768
3769
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3770
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3771
3772
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3773
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3774
3775
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3776
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3777
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3778
3779
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3780
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3781
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3782
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3783
3784
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3785
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3786
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3787
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3788
3789
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3790
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3791
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3792
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3793
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3794
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3795
3796
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3797
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3798
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3799
3800
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3801
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3802
3803
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3804
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3805
(Robert Collins)
3806
3807
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3808
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3809
3810
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3811
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3812
3813
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3814
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3815
3816
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3817
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3818
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3819
3820
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3821
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3822
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3823
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3824
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3825
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3826
3827
Testing
3828
*******
3829
3830
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3831
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3832
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3833
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3834
3835
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3836
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3837
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3838
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3839
implement this).
3840
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3841
3842
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3843
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3844
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3845
3846
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3847
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::

3849
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3850
3851
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3852
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3853
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)

3861
(Martin Albisetti)
3862
3863
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3864
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3865
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3866
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3867
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3868
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3869
3870
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3871
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3872
3873
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3874

3875
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3876

3929
Changes
3930
*******
3931
3932
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3933
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3934
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3935
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3936
(Robert Collins)
3937
3938
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3939
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3940
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3941
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3942
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3943

3944
3945
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3946
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3947
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.

* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3971
3972
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3973
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3974
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)

3983
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3984
(Alexander Belchenko)
3985
3986
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3987
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3988
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while

3995
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3996
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3997
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not

used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4081
(Alexander Belchenko)
4082
4083
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4084
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4085
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4086
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4087
4088
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4089

4090
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.

* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
4094
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
4095
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4096
4097
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4098
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4099
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4100
4101
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4102
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4103
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4104
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4120
********************
4121
4122
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4123
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4124
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4125
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4126
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4127
(Andrew Bennetts)
4128
4129
Changes
4130
*******
4131
4132
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4133
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4134
4135
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4136
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4137
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4138
4139
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4140
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4141
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4142
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4143
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4144
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4145
(Aaron Bentley)
4146
4147
Features
4148
********
4149
4150
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4151
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4152
4153
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4154
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4155
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4156
(Robert Collins)
4157
4158
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4159
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4160
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4161
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4162
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4163
4164
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4165
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4166
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4167
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4168
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4169
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4170
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4171
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4172
4173
Improvements
4174
************
4175
4176
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4177
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4178
4179
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4180
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4181
4182
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4183
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4184
4185
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4186
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4187
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4188
4189
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4190
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

Bugfixes
4194
********
4195
4196
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4197
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4198
4199
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4200
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4201
4202
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4203
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4204
4205
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4206
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4207
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4208
4209
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4210
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4211
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4212
4213
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4214
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4215
4216
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4217
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4218
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4219
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4220
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4221
unittest runner.
4222
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4223
4224
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4225
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4226
#185907)
4227
4228
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4229
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4230
4231
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4232
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4233
4234
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4235
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4236
4237
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4238
more characters which should be considered valid.
4239
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4240
4241
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4242
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4243
4244
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4245
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4246
4247
API Breaks
4248
**********
4249
4250
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4251
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4252
4253
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4254
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4255
(Martin Pool)
4256
4257
Testing
4258
*******
4259
4260
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4261
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4262
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4263
4264
Internals
4265
*********
4266
4267
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4268
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4269
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4270
4271
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4272
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4273
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4274
4275
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4276
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4277
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4278
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4279
4280
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4281
4282
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4283
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4284
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4285
server. (Robert Collins)
4286
4287
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4288
operate. (Robert Collins)
4289
4290
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4291
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4292
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4293
4294
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4295
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4296
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4297
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4298
4299
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4300
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4301
4302
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4303
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4304
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4305
4306
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4307
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4308
4309
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4310
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4311
4312
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4313
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4314
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4315
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

Changes
4327
*******
4328
4329
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4330
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4331
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4332
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4333
4334
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4335
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4336
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4337
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.

#90049)
4356
4357
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
4358
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
4359
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4360
4361
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4362
4363
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4364
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4365
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4366
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4367
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4368
4369
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4370
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4371
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4673
********************
4674
4675
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4676
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4677
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4678
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4679
4680
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4681
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4682
4683
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4684
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4685
4686
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4687
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4688
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4689
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4690
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4691
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4692
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4693
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4694
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4695
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4696
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4697
from any tree without problems.

4741
4742
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4743
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory

* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some

4966
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4967
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4968
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4969
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4970
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4971
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4972
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4973
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4974
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4975

* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5046
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5047
5048
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5049

Bug Fixes
5066
*********
5067
5068
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5069
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5070
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5071
5072
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5073
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5074
5075
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5076
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5077
5078
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5079
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5080
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5081
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5082
5083
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5084
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5085
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5086
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5087
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5088
5089
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5090
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5091
paramiko.
5092
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5093
5094
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5095
5096
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5097
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5098
5099
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5101
5102
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5104
5105
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5106
contains a symbolic link.
5107
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5108
5109
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5110
(James Westby, #140615)
5111
5112
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5113
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5115
5116
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5117
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5118
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5119
5120
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5121
5122
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5124
5125
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5126
will remain opened.
5127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5128
5129
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5130
directory to detect leaking tests.
5131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5132
5133
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5134
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5135
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5136
5137
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5138
(Rob Weir, #141629)
5139
5140
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5141
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5142
5143
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5144
Merwe)
5145
5146
API Breaks
5147
**********
5148
5149
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5150
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5151
5152
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5153
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5154
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5155
5156
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5157
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5158
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5159
5160
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5161
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5162
5163
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5164
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5165
5166
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5167
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5168
(Martin Pool)
5169
5170
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5171
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5172
5173
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5174
class that needs it.
5175
(Martin Pool)
5176
5177
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5178
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5179
5180
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5181
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5182
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5183
5184
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5185
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5186
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5187
(Robert Collins)
5188
5189
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5190
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5191
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5192
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5193
(Robert Collins)
5194
5195
Internals
5196
*********
5197
5198
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5199
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5200
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5201
5202
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5203
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5204
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5205
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5206
5207
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5208
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5209
(Robert Collins)
5210
5211
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5212
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5213
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5214
5215
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5216
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5217
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5218
5219
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5220
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5221
5222
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5223
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5224
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5225
5226
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5227
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5228
5229
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5230
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5231
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5232
5233
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5234
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5235
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5236
5237
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5238
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5239
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5240
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5241
5242
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5243
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5244
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5245
returned. (Robert Collins)
5246
5247
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5248
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5249
5250
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5251
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5252
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5253
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5254
(Robert Collins)
5255
5256
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5257
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)

Testing
5260
*******
5261
5262
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5263
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5264
5265
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5266
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5267
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5268
makes this behavior available to other users.
5269
(Martin Pool)
5270
5271
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5272
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

Changes
5308
*******
5309
5310
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5311
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5312
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5313
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5314
(Martin Pool)
5315
5316
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5317
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5318
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5319
(Ian Clatworthy)
5320
5321
Features
5322
********
5323
5324
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5325
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5326
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5327
(Lukáš Lalinský)
5328
5329
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5330
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5331
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5332
5333
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5334
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5335
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5336
5337
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5338
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5339
5340
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5341
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5342
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5343
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5344
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5345
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5346
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5347
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5348
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5349
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5350
5351
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5352
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5353
5354
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5355
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5356
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5357
5358
Bug Fixes
5359
*********
5360
5361
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5362
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5363
5364
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5365
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5366
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5367
5368
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5369
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5370
5371
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5372
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5373
5374
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5375
(Aaron Bentley)
5376
5377
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5378
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5379
5380
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5381
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5382
5383
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5384
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5385
5386
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5387
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5388
5389
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5390
5391
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5392
Watkins, #106726)
5393
5394
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5395
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5396
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5397
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5398
5399
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5400
5401
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5402
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5403
#133548)
5404
5405
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5406
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5407
5408
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5409
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5410
#116143)
5411
5412
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5413
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5414
5415
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5416
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5417
5418
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5419
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5420
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5421
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5422
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5423
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
5424
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
5425
5426
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5427
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5428
5429
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5430
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5431
5432
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5433
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5434
5435
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
5436
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
5437
5438
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
5439
connections.
5440
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
5441
5442
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5443
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5444
5445
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5446
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5447
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
5448
5449
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5450
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
5454
************
5455
5456
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5457
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5458
5459
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5460
(Aaron Bentley)
5461
5462
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5463
(Aaron Bentley)
5464
5465
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5466
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5467
5468
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5469
5470
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
5471
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5472
5473
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5474
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5475
5476
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5477
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5478
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5479
space). (Robert Collins)
5480
5481
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5482
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5483
(Ian Clatworthy)
5484
5485
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5486
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5487
5488
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5489
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5490
5491
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5492
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5493
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5494
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5495
5496
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5497
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5498
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5499
(Lukáš Lalinský)
5500

* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5502

5503
5504
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5505

* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5509
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5510
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5511
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5512
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)

5517
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5518
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5519
5520
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5521
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5522
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5523
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5524
affected. (Robert Collins)
5525
5526
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5527
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5528
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5529

*********
5554
5555
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
5556
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
5557
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
5558
its version information. (Robert Collins)
5559
5560
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
5561
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5562
5563
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
5564
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
5565
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
5566
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5567
5568
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
5569
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
5570
present. (Robert Collins)
5571
5572
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
5573
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
5574
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
5575
API. (Robert Collins)
5576
5577
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
5578
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
5579
(Robert Collins)
5580
5581
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
5582
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
5583
5584
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
5585
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
5586
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
5587
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
5588
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
5589
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
5590
5591
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
5592
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
5593
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
5594
5595
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
5596
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
5597
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5598
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5599
protocol.
5600
5601
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5602
(Aaron Bentley)
5603
5604
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5605
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5606
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5607
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5608
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5609
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5610
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5611
5612
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5613
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5614
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5615
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5616
5617
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5618
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5619
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5620
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5621
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5622
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5623
5624
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5625
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5626
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5627
5628
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5629
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

5661
5662
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5663
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5664
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
5665
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
5666
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)

* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5690
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
5691
5692
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
5693
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
5694
5695
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.

* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
5711
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
5712
5713
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5714
the repository (Robert Collins)
5715
5716
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5717
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5718
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5719
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5720
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
5721
5722
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
5723
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5724
5725
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5726
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5727
(John Arbash Meinel)
5728
5729
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5730
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5731
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5732
about 10%).
5733
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5734
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5735
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5736
(John Arbash Meinel)
5737
5738

(Robert Collins)
5741
5742

5745
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5746
(Ian Clatworthy)
5747
5748
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5749
5750
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5751
5752
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5753
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5754
5755
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5756
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5757
Meinel)
5758
5759
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5760
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5761
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5762
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5763
5764
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5765
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5766
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5767
5768
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5769
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5770
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5771
5772
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5773
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5774
5775
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5776
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5777
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5778
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5779
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5780
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.

* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or

Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5802
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5803
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)

5807
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5808
(Robert Collins)
5809
5810
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5811
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5812
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5813
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5814
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5815
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)

5820
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5821
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5822
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5823
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5824
5825
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5826
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5827
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5828
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5829
tests have been refactored too.
5830
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5831
5832
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5833
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5834
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5835
list, it will.
5836
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5837
5838
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5839
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5840
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5841
5842
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5843
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5844
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5845
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5846
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5847
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5848
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5849
5850
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5851
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5852
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5853
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5854
(John Arbash Meinel)
5855
5856
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5857
functionality for testing.
5858
5859
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5860

5870
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5871
5872
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5873
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5874
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5875
5876
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5877
(Aaron Bentley)
5878

* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5880
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5881
5882
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5883
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5884
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5885
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5886
5887
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5888
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5889
5890
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5891
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5892
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5893
5894
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5895
(Marius Kruger)
5896
5897
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5898
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5899
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5900
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5901
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5902
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5903
5904
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5905
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5906
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5907
many files. (Robert Collins)
5908
5909
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5910
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5911
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5912
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)

5915
*******
5916
5917
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5918
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5919
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5920
5921
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5922
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5923
5924
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5925
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5926
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

Improvements
5990
************
5991
5992
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
5993
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
5994
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
5995
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
5996
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
5997
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
5998
5999
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
6000
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
6001
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
6002
6003
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
6004
(Elliot Murphy)
6005
6006
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
6007
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
6008
6009
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
6010
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
6011
6012
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
6013
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
6014
6015
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
6016
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
6017
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
6018
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
6019
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
6020
6021
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6022
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
6023
6024
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
6025
can be slow it is useful feedback).
6026

6044
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
6045
6046
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
6047

6082
6083
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
6084
6085
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
6086
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
6087
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
6088
6089
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
6090
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
6091
6092
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
6093
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6094
6095
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
6096
6097
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
6098
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
6099
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
6100
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
6101
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
6102
same location. (Robert Collins)
6103

Internals
6105
*********
6106
6107
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
6108
6109
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
6110
6111
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
6112
6113
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
6114
(Martin Pool)
6115
6116
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
6117
(Martin Pool)
6118
6119
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
6120
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
6121
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
6122
6123
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
6124
6125
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
6126
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
6127
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
6128
6129
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6130
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6131
6132
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
6133
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
6134
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
6135
6136
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
6137
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
6138
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
6139
6140
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6141
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6142
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6143
6144
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6145
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6146
Martin Pool)
6147
6148
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6149
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6150
6151
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6152
(Alexander Belchenko)

6154
Testing
6155
*******
6156
6157
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6158
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6159
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6160
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6161
6162
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6163
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6164
testing. (Robert Collins)
6165
6166
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6167
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6168
6169
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6170
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6171
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6172
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6173
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6174
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6175
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6176
6177
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6178
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6179
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6180
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6181
6182
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6183
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6184
6185
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6186
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6207
********************
6208
6209
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6210
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6211
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6212
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6213
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6214
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6215
and unlock() like so::
6216
6217
work_tree.lock_read()
6218
try:
6219
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6220
finally:
6221
work_tree.unlock()

6223
Internals
6224
*********
6225
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6226
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6227
object.
6228
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6229
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6230
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6231
6232
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6233
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6234
too. (Robert Collins)
6235
6236
Improvements
6237
************
6238
6239
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6240
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6241
Aaron Bentley)
6242
6243
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6244
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6245
6246
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6247
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6248
6249
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6250
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6251
understanding what changes have occurred
6252
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6253
6254
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6255
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6256
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6257
6258
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6259
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6260
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6261
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6262

********
6268
6269
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.

We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6271
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6272
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6273
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)

6287
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6288
6289
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6290
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6291
6292
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6293
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6294
6295
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6296
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)

6368
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6369
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6370
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6371
but not delete it.

* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6424
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6425
6426
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6427
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6428
6429
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6430
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6431
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6432
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6433
(Robert Collins)
6434
6435
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6436
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6437
6438
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6439
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6440
6441
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6442
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6443
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6444
6445
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6446
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6447
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6448
6449
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6450
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6451
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6452
6453
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6454
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6455
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6456
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6457
6458
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6459
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6460
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6461
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6462
6463
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6464
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6465
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6466
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6467
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6468
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6469
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6470
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6471
header(s).

* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6478
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6479
6480
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6481
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6482
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6483
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6484
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6485
6486
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6487
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6488
6489
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6490
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6491
6492
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6493
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6494
6495
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6496
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6497
6498
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6499
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6500
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6501
(Robert Collins).
6502
6503
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6504
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6505
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6506
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6507
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6508
(Robert Collins)
6509
6510
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6511
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6512
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6513
6514
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6515
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6516
(Vincent Ladeuil).
6517
6518
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6519
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6520
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6521
(Vincent Ladeuil).
6522
6523
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6524
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6525
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6526
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6527
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6528
6529
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6530
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6531
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6532
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6533
6534
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6535
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6536
6537
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6538
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6539
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6540
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6541
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6542
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
6543
6544
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
6545
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
6546
6547
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
6548
help. (Robert Collins)
6549
6550
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
6551
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6552
6553
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
6554
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
6555
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
6556
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
6557
(John Arbash Meinel)
6558
6559
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
6560
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
6561
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
6562
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
6563
useful. (Robert Collins)
6564
6565
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
6637

6638
6639
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6640
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6641
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6642
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6643
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6644
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6645
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
6646
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6647
6648
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
6649
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
6650
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6651
6652
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
6653
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
6654
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
6655
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part

of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
6657
access.

6694
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
6695
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
6696
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
6697
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
6698
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
6699
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
6700
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
6701
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition

*********
6816
6817
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6818
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6819
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6820
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6821
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6822
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6823
6824
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6825
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6826
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6827
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6828
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6829
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6830
development.
6831
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6832
6833
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6834
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6835
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6836
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6837
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6838
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6839
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert

saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6847
6848
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6849
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6850
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6851
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6852
does exist.
6853
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6854
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6855
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6856
will only update the Bazaar identifier.

6879
directory. (Martin Pool)
6880
6881
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6882
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6883
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6884
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6885
6886
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6887
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6888
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6889
in docs/configuration.txt.
6890
6891
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6892
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6893
bind location.
6894
6895
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6896
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6897
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6898
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6899
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6900
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6901
6902
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6903
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6904
6905
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6906
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6907
6908
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.

6913
6914
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6915
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6916
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6917
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6918
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6919
(John Arbash Meinel)
6920
6921
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6922
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6923
(Aaron Bentley)
6924
6925
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6926
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6927
(John Arbash Meinel)
6928
6929
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6930
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6931
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6932
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6933
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6934
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6935
6936
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6937
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6938
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6939
6940
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6941
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6942
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6943
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6944
repository.
6945
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6946
6947
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6948
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6949
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6950
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6951
6952
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6953
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6954
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6955
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6956
6957
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6958
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6959
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6960
6961
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6962
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6963
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6964
6965
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6966
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6967
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6968
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6969
6970
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6971
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6972
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6973
6974
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6975
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6976
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6977
6978
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6979
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6980
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6981
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6982
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6983
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6984
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6985
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6986
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart

7070
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7071

7073
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7074
(Marius Kruger)
7075
7076
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7077
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7078
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7079
7080
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
7081
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
7082
7083
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
7084
(Aaron Bentley)
7085
7086
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7087
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7088
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7089
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7090
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7091
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7092
7093
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7094
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7095
should enable you to do::
7096
7097
[/home/user/project]
7098
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7099
push_location:policy = appendpath
7100
7101
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7102
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7103
(James Henstridge)
7104
7105

7159
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use

7173
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7174
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7175
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7176
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7177
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7178
7179
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7180

7250
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7346
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7347
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7348
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7349
7350
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7351
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7352
7353
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7354
7355
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7356
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7357
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7358
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7359
7360
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7361
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7362
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7363
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

7374
7375
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7376
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7377
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7378
7379
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7380
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7381
(John Arbash Meinel)
7382
7383
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7384
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7385
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7386
7387
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7388
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7389
(Aaron Bentley)
7390
7391
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7392
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7393
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7394
7395
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7396
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7397
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7398
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7399
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7400
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7401
7402
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7403
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7404
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7405
(Robert Collins)
7406
7407
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7408
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)

7413
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7414
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7415
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
7416
#63360, #66349)
7417

* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7419
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
7420
7421
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
7422
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
7423
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
7424
7425
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
7426
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
7427
7428
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
7429
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
7430
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
7431
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
7432
7433
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
7434
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
7435
7436
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
7437
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
7438
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)

7452
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
7453
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
7454
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
7455
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
7456
7457
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
7458
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
7459

7482
7483
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7484
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7485
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7486
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7487
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
7488
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
7489
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
7490
7491
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
7492
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
7493
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
7494
7495
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
7496
7497
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7498
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7499
7500
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7501
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7502
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7503
(Robert Collins)
7504
7505
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
7506
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
7507
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
7508
(John Arbash Meinel)
7509
7510
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
7511
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
7512
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
7513
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7514
Pool)
7515
7516
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
7517
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
7518
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information

specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
7526
7527
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
7528
7529
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
7530
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
7531
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)

* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
7548
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
7549
7550
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
7551
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
7552
7553
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
7554
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
7555
7556
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
7557
(John Arbash Meinel)
7558
7559
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
7560
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
7561
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
7562
7563
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
7564
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7565
7566
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
7567
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
7568
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
7569
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
7570
7571
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
7572
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
7573
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)

7587
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
7588
(John Arbash Meinel)
7589
7590
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
7591
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
7592
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
7593
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7594
7595
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7596
(Andrew Bennetts)
7597
7598
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7599
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7600
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7601
7602
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7603
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7604
7605
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7606
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7607
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7608
7609
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7610
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7611
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7612
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7613
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7614
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7615
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7616
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7617
caller to repeat their request.
7618
(John Arbash Meinel)
7619
7620
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7621
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7622
7623
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7624
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7625
7626
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7627
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7628
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7629
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7630
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7631
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7632
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7633
7634
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7635
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7636
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7637
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7638
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7639
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7640
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7641
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7642
(Robert Collins)
7643
7644
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7645
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7646
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7647
7648
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7649
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7650
7651
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7652
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7653
7654
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.

``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7662
7663
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7664
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7665
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7666

7678
7679
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7680
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7681
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that

specific one '.bzrignore'.
7759
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7760
a more conservative list than the old default.

7780
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7781
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7782
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7783
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7784
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7785
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7786
#42517, #42514)
7787
7788
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7789
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7790
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7791
(Malone #3507)
7792
7793
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7794
(Alexander Belchenko)
7795
7796
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7797
7798
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7799
(Robert Collins).
7800
7801
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7802
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7803
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7804
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7805
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7806
(John Arbash Meinel)
7807
7808
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7809
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7810
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7811
grained analysis of performance.
7812
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7813
7814
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7815
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7816
7817
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7818
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7819
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7820
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7821
file. (Robert Collins).
7822
7823
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7824
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7825
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7826
7827
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7828
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7829
Matthieu Moy)
7830
7831
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7832
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7833
7834
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7835
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7836
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7837
the same way you would apply another branch.
7838
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7839
7840
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7841
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7842
7843
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7844
(Michael Ellerman)
7845
7846
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7847
(Aaron Bentley)
7848
7849
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7850
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7851
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7852
7853
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7854
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7855
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7856
7857
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7858
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7859
7860
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7861
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7862
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7863
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7864
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7865
7866
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7867
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7868
7869
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7870
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7871
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7872
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7873
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7874
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7875
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7876
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7877
7878
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7879
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7880
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7881

7889
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7890
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7891
7892
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7893
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7894
7895
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7896
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7897
7898
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)

7901
(John Arbash Meinel)
7902
7903
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7904
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7905
7906
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7907
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7908

7909
7910
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7911
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)

7913
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7914
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7915
7916
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7917
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7918
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7919
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)

7937
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)

7940
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7941
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7942
7943
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7944
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7945
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7946
7947
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7948
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)

* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7951
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7952
7953
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7954
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7955
7956
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7957
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)

7960
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)

7977
7978

7979
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7980
7981
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
7982
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
7983
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7984
7985
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7986
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7987
7988
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7989
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7990
(Martin Pool)
7991
7992
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7993
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7994
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7995
7996
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7997
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7998
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7999
8000
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats

Notes When Upgrading
8083
********************
8084
8085
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
8086
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
8087
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
8088
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
8089
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
8090
will keep the same format.
8091
8092
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
8093
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
8094
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
8095
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
8096
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
8097
8098
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
8099
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
8100
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
8101
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
8102
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
8103
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
8104
indicating the current revision of the branch.
8105
8106
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
8107
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
8108
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
8109
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
8110
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
8111
8112
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
8113
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
8114
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
8115
arrangement.
8116
8117
8118
Improvements
8119
************
8120
8121
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
8122
convention. Paths now take the form::
8123
8124
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
8125
or
8126
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
8127
8128
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8129
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8130
8131
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8132
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8133
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8134
8135
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8136
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8137
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8138
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8139
8140
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8141
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8142
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8143
8144
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8145
8146
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8147
8148
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8149
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8150
commits::
8151
8152
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8153
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8154
| xargs bzr re-sign
8155
8156
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8157
8158
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8159
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8160
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8161
(Robert Collins)
8162
8163
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8164
8165
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8166
8167
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8168
'.moved'.
8169
8170
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8171
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8172
8173
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8174
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8175
Daniel Silverstone)
8176
8177
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8178
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8179
Martin Pool)
8180
8181
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8182
8183
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8184
8185
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8186
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8187
8188
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8189
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8190
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8191
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8192
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8193
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8194
8195
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8196
8197
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8198
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8199
(Robert Collins)
8200
8201
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8202
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8203
8204
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8205
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8206
8207
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8208
8209
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8210
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8211
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8212
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8213
specification by Martin Pool.
8214
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8215
8216
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8217
Belchenko)
8218
8219
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8220
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8221
8222
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8223
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8224
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8225
8226
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8227
8228
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8229
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8230

8233
*******
8234
8235
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8236
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8237
8238
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8239
8240
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8241
8242
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8243
(Olaf Conradi)
8244
8245
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8246
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8247
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8248
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)

8251
*********
8252
8253
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8254
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8255
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8256
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8257
8258
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8259
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8260
tried. (Martin Pool)
8261
8262
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8263
(Martin Pool)
8264
8265
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8266
8267
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8268
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8269
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8270
8271
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8272
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8273
8274
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8275
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8276
paths. (Robert Collins)
8277
8278
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8279
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8280
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8281
8282
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8283
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8284
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8285
8286
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8287
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8288
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8289
8290
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8291
(Olaf Conradi)
8292
8293
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8294
(Olaf Conradi)
8295
8296
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8297
8298
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8299
8300
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8301
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8302
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8303
(Robert Collins)
8304
8305
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8306
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8307
8308
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8309
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8310
check. (Robert Collins)
8311
8312
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8313
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8314
8315
Testing
8316
*******
8317
8318
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8319
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8320
8321
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8322
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8323
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8324
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8325
8326
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8327
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8328
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8329
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8330
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8331
8332
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8333
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8334
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8335
8336
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8337
8338
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8339
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

Changes
8345
*******
8346
8347
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8348
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8349
8350
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8351
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8352
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8353
(Johan Rydberg)
8354
8355
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8356
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8357
8358
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8359
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8360
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8361
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8362
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8363
8364
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8365
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8366
used. (Robert Collins)
8367
8368
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8369
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8370
(James Henstridge)
8371
8372
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8373
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8374
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8375
8376
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8377
ignore list.
8378
8379
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8380
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
8381
8382
Improvements
8383
************
8384
8385
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8386
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8387
8388
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8389
8390
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8391
8392
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8393
tree. (Robert Collins)
8394
8395
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8396
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8397
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8398
(Robert Collins)
8399
8400
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8401
that they be kept.
8402
8403
* Tweaks to short log printing
8404
8405
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8406
(Aaron Bentley)
8407
8408
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8409
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8410
8411
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8412
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8413
8414
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8415
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8416
8417
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8418
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8419
settings. (Magnus Therning)
8420
8421
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8422
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8423
8424
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8425
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8426
requests.
8427
8428
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8429
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8430
8431
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8432
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8433
8434
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8435
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8436
8437
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8438
(Denys Duchier)
8439
8440
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8441
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8442
8443
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8444
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8445
8446
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8447
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
8448
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)

Bug Fixes
8451
*********
8452
8453
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
8454
8455
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8456
8457
* Error when run with -OO
8458
8459
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
8460
(Martin Pool)
8461
8462
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
8463
8464
* Change status to 3 for all errors
8465
8466
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
8467
ignored by diff and status
8468
8469
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
8470
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
8471
8472
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
8473
8474
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
8475
8476
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
8477
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
8478
8479
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
8480
email address. (Marien Zwart)
8481
8482
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
8483
(Harald Meland)
8484
8485
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
8486
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8487
8488
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
8489
8490
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
8491
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
8492
8493
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
8494
(Martin Pool)
8495
8496
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
8497
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
8498
8499
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)

8504
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
8505
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
8506
8507
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8508
8509
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8510
8511
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
8512
8513
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
8514
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
8515
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8516
8517
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8518
8519
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
8520
(John Arbash Meinel)
8521
8522
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
8523
8524
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
8525
If adding a new test script please add that to
8526
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
8527
8528
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8529
imported. (Martin Pool)
8530
8531
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8532
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8533
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8534
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8535
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8536
(Robert Collins)
8537
8538
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8539
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8540
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
8541
8542
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8543
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8544
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8545
8546
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8547
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8548
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
8549
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
8550
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
8551
(Robert Collins).
8552
8553
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
8554
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
8555
(Robert Collins).
8556
8557
Internals
8558
*********
8559
8560
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
8561
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
8562
8563
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
8564
function. (Robert Collins)
8565
8566
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
8567
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
8568
if needed). (Robert Collins)
8569
8570
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
8571
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
8572
(Robert Collins)
8573
8574
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
8575
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
8576
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
8577
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
8578
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
8579
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
8580
version. (Robert Collins)
8581
8582
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
8583
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
8584
8585
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
8586
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
8587
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
8588
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
8589
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
8590
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
8591
8592
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
8593
(Robert Collins)
8594
8595
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
8596
8597
add()
8598
commit()
8599
move()
8600
rename_one()
8601
unknowns()
8602
8603
(Robert Collins)
8604
8605
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
8606
8607
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
8608
8609
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
8610
Pool)
8611
8612
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
8613
query method. (Robert Collins)
8614
8615
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
8616
(Denys Duchier)
8617
8618
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
8619
(Michael Ellerman)
8620
8621
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
8622
(Michael Ellerman)
8623
8624
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8625
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8626
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8627
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
8628
8629
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
8630
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
8631
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
8632
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
8633
8634
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
8635
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

************
8642
8643
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
8644
(John A Meinel)
8645
8646
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
8647
conflicts.
8648
(Aaron Bentley)
8649
8650
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
8651
a separator, not ':'.
8652
(Aaron Bentley)
8653
8654
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
8655
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
8656
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8657
8658
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
8659
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
8660
(Robert Collins)
8661
8662
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
8663
has been added that suppresses all output.
8664
8665
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
8666
Adams.
8667
8668
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
8669
Goffredo Baroncelli.
8670
8671
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
8672
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
8673
8674
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8675
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8676
8677
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8678
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8679
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8680
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8681
8682
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8683
8684
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8685
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
8686
8687
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
8688
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
8689
8690
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8691
output directory, if one was supplied.
8692
8693
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8694
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
8695
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8696
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8697
8698
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8699
8700
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8701
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8702
8703
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8704
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8705
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8706
8707
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8708
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
8709
8710
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
8711

8721
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
8722
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8723
8724
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8725
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8726
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8727
8728

8744
8745
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8746
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8747
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8748
8749
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8750
(Robert Collins)
8751
8752
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8753
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8754
Magnus Therning.
8755
8756
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8757
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8758
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8759
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8760
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8761
8762
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8763
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8764
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8765
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8766
python path. (Robert Collins)
8767
8768
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8769
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8770
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8771
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8772
8773
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8774
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8775
8776
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8777
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8778
(Robert Collins)
8779
8780
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8781
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8782
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8783
8784
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8785
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8786
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8787
8788
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8789
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8790
8791
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8792
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8793
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8794
(Robert Collins)
8795
8796
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8797
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8798
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8799
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8800
(Robert Collins)
8801
8802
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8803
(Robert Collins)
8804
8805
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8806
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8807
(Robert Collins)
8808
8809
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8810
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8811
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8812
8813
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8814
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
8815
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8816
8817
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8818
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8819
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8820
8821
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8822
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8823
8824
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8825
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8826
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8827
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8828
caller. (Robert Collins)
8829
8830
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8831
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8832
(Robert Collins).
8833
8834
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8835
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8836
(Aaron Bentley)
8837
8838
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8839
8840

8924
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
8925
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8926
8927
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
8928
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
8929
'bzr upgrade'.
8930
8931
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by

8941

8942
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
8943
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.

8945
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.

* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
8966
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
8967
8968
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8969
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8970
handling of such circumstances.
8971
8972
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8973
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8974
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8975
8976
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8977
8978
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8979
we call them revisions not patches.
8980
8981
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8982
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8983
8984
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8985
giving the revision *of that file*.
8986
8987
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.

This must be consistent with the overall branch version

9190
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9191

plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9195
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9196
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9197
standard plugins directory.
9198
9199
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9200
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the

shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9248
9249
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9250
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9251
with the ``--forward`` option.
9252
9253
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9254
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
9255
field.
9256

Enhancements
9259
************
9260
9261
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9262
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
9263
9264
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9265
9266
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9267
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
9268
9269
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
9270
9271
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
9272
either read or write mode.
9273
9274
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
9275
9276
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
9277
affected that file.
9278
9279
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
9280
9281
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
9282
suggested by LarstiQ.
9283
9284
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
9285
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
9286
9287
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
9288
a filename.
9289
9290
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
9291
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
9292
9293
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
9294
haven't changed since the previous time.
9295
9296
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9297
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9298
9299
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9300
9301
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
9302
9303
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
9304
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
9305
9306
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
9307
options through to an external GNU diff.
9308
9309
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
9310
their contents.
9311
9312
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
9313
from a branch.
9314
9315
9316
Bug Fixes
9317
*********
9318
9319
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
9320
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9321
9322
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9323
metacharacters.
9324
9325
9326
Testing
9327
*******
9328
9329
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9330
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
9331
the tests.
9332
9333
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9334
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9335
9336
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9337
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9338
9339
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9340
under a different version.
9341
9342
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9343
9344
9345
Internal
9346
********
9347
9348
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
9349
9350
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
9351
Scott James Remnant.
9352
9353
* Better help messages for many commands.
9354
9355
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
9356
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
9357
9358
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
9359
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
9360
9361
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
9362
9363
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
9364
9365
* New AtomicFile class.
9366
9367
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
9368
9369
9370
Portability
9371
***********
9372
9373

128
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
129
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
130
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
131
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
132
there are DNS problems.

134
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
135
136
137

144
trailing newlines properly.

INTERNAL:
148
149
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from

Matt Brubeck.
151
152
* More tests in test.sh.
153
154
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
155
directory and delete it when done.
