********************
14
15
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
16
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.

New Features
21
************
22
23
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
24
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
25
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
26
27
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
28
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
29

31
Improvements
32
************
33
34
35
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
36
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
37
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
38
39
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
40
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
41
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
42
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
43
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
44
45
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
46
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
47
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
48
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
49
50
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
51
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
52
* diff (2X faster)
53
* tags (70X faster)
54
55
(Ian Clatworthy)
56
57
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
58
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``,
59
rather than ``bzrlib.utils.bencode``.
60
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
61

63
Bug Fixes
64
*********
65
66
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
67
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
68
69
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
70
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
71
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
72
73
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
74
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
75
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
76
(John Arbash Meinel)
77
78
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
79
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
80
81
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
82
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
83
84
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
85
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
86
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
87
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
88
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
89
90
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
91
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
92
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
93
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

101
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
102
103
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
104
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)

* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
114
115
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
116
117
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)

:1.15: 2009-05-22
124
125
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
126
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
127
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
128
revisions introduce the exact same line.

Compatibility Breaks
136
********************
137
138
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
139
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
140
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
141
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
142
143
New Features
144
************
145
146
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
147
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
148
(Jelmer Vernooij)
149
150
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
151
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
152
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
153
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
154
155
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
156
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
157
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
158
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
159
160
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
161
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
162
(Jelmer Vernooij)
163
164
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
165
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
166
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
167
168
Improvements
169
************
170
171
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
172
server. (Jonathan Lange)
173
174
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
175
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
176
177
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
178
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
179
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
180
181
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
182
183
Bug Fixes
184
*********
185
186
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
187
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
188
189
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
190
191
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
192
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
193
194
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
195
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
196
197
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
198
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
199
200
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
201
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
202
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
203
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
204
205
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
206
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
207
208
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
209
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
210
211
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
212
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
213
214
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
215
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
216
217
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
218
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
219
220
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
222
223
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
224
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
225
226
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
227
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
228
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
229
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
230
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
231
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
232
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
233
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
234
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
235
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
236
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
237
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
238
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
239
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
240
241
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
242
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
243
(Robert Collins, #368921)
244
245
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
246
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)

*************
250
251
API Changes
252
***********
253
254
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
255
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
256
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
257
258
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
259
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
260
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
261
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
262
(Alexander Belchenko)
263
264
Internals
265
*********
266
267
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
268
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
269
encoding. (Robert Collins)
270
271
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
272
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
273
(Robert Collins)
274
275
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
276
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
277
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
278
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
279
configuration. (Robert Collins)
280
281
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
282
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
283
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
284
285
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
286
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
287
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
288
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
289
290
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
291
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
292
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
293
294
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
295
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
296
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
297
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
298
299
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
300
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
301
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
302
303
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
304
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
305
306
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
307
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
308
branches. (Robert Collins)
309
310
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
311
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
312
313
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
314
315
Testing
316
*******
317
318
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
319
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

:1.14: 2009-04-28
328
:1.14.1: 2009-05-01
329
330
New formats 1.14 and 1.14-rich-root supporting End-Of-Line (EOL) conversions,
331
keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin) and generic content filtering.
332
End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting content
333
filtering.
334
335
Changes from 1.14final to 1.14.1
336
********************************
337
338
* Change api_minimum_version back to api_minimum_version = (1, 13, 0)
339
340
Changes from 1.14rc2 to 1.14final
341
*********************************
342
343
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
344
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
345
346
Changes from 1.14rc1 to 1.14rc2
347
*******************************
348
349
* Fix for bug 358037 Revision not in
350
bzrlib.groupcompress.GroupCompressVersionedFiles (Brian de Alwis,
351
John A Meinel)
352
353
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
354
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
355
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
356
357
* Fix for bug 355280 eol content filters are never loaded and thus never
358
applied (Brian de Alwis, Ian Clatworthy)
19
359
20
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
21
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
22
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
23
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
24
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
25
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
26
Andrew Cowie)
27
28
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
29
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
30
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
31
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
32
33
FEATURES:
34
35
* Added mail-mode GNU Emacs mail package as a mail_client.
36
(Xavier Maillard, Bojan Nikolic)
37
38
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
39
40
IMPROVEMENTS:
41
42
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
43
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
44
45
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
46
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
47
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
48
Wouter van Heyst)
49
50
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
51
(Chad Miller)
52
53
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
54
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
55
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
56
57
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
58
(Aaron Bentley)
59
60
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
61
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
62
63
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
64
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
65
66
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
67
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
68
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
69
70
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
71
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
72
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
73
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
74
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
75
76
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
77
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
78
79
BUGFIXES:
80
81
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
82
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
83
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
84
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
85
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
86
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
87
88
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
89
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
90
91
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
92
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
93
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
94
95
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
96
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
97
98
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
99
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
100
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
101
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
102
103
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
104
105
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
106
107
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
108
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)

113
DOCUMENTATION:
114
115
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
116
117
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
118
119
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
120
121
API BREAKS:
122
123
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
124
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
125
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
126
127
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
128
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
129
release. (James Westby)
130
131
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
132
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
133
134
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
135
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
136
137
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
138
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
139
140
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
141
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
142
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
143
144
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
145
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
146
147
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
148
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
149
(Robert Collins)
150
151
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
152
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
153
154
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
155
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
156
157
TESTING:
158
159
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
160
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
161
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
162
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
163
164
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
165
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
166
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
167
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
168
implement this).
169
(Vincent Ladeuil)
170
171
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
172
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
173
(Vincent Ladeuil)
174
175
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
176
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
177
178
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
179
180
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
181
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
182
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
183
184
INTERNALS:
185
186
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
187
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
360
* bzr.dev -r4280 Change _fetch_uses_deltas = False for CHK repos until we can
361
write a better fix. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins)
362
363
* Fix for bug 361574 uncommit recommends undefined --levels and -n options
364
(Marius Kruger, Ian Clatworthy)
365
366
* bzr.dev r4289 as cherrypicked at lp:~spiv/bzr/stacking-cherrypick-1.14
367
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
368
369
Compatibility Breaks
370
********************
371
372
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
373
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
374
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
375
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
376
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
377
378
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
379
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
380
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
381
382
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
383
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
384
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
385
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
386
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
387
388
New Features
389
************
390
391
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
392
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
393
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
394
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
395
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
396
(Ian Clatworthy)
397
398
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
399
(Aaron Bentley)
400
401
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
402
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
403
404
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
405
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
406
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
407
directory, not just the directory object itself.
408
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
409
410
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
411
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
412
413
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
414
(Aaron bentley)
415
416
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
417
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
418
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
419
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
420
(Ian Clatworthy)
421
422
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
423
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
424
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
425
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
426
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
427
428
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
429
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
430
(Ian Clatworthy)
431
432
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
433
(Aaron Bentley)
434
435
Improvements
436
************
437
438
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
439
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
440
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
441
442
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
443
the data when the target repository does not need topological
444
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
445
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
446
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
447
448
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
449
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
450
(Ian Clatworthy)
451
452
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
453
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
454
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
455
456
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
457
(Ian Clatworthy)
458
459
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
460
(Ian Clatworthy)
461
462
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
463
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
464
465
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
466
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
467
468
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
469
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
470
471
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
472
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
473
#294479)
474
475
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
476
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
477
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
478
479
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
480
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
481
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
482
(Ian Clatworthy)
483
484
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
485
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
486
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
487
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
488
489
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
490
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
491
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
492
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
493
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
494
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
495
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
496
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
497
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
498
499
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!

502
Bug Fixes
503
*********
504
505
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
506
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
507
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
508
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
509
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
510
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
511
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
512
513
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
514
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
515
516
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
517
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
518
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
519
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
520
521
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
522
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
523
524
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
525
526
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
527
#313028)
528
529
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
530
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
531
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
532
533
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
534
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
535
536
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
537
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
538
539
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
540
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
541
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
542
543
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
544
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
545
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
546
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
547
548
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
549
550
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
551
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
552
553
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
554
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
555
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
556
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
557
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
558
559
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
560
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
561
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
562
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
563
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
564
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
565
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
566
567
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
568
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
569
570
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
571
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
572
(Andrea Bolognani)
573
574
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
575
(James Westby, #341558)
576
577
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
578
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
579
580
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
581
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
582
583
Documentation
584
*************
585
586
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
587
588
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
589
590
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.

593
API Changes
594
***********
595
596
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
597
(Martin Pool)
598
599
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
600
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
601
(Robert Collins)
602
603
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
604
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
605
(Jelmer Vernooij)
606
607
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
608
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
609
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
610
611
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
612
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
613
Meinel, Robert Collins)
614
615
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
616
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
617
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
618
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
619
(Ian Clatworthy)
620
621
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
622
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
623
(Jean-Francois Roy)
624
625
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
626
(Martin Pool)
627
628
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
629
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
630
631
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
632
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
633
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
634
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
635
636
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
637
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
638
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
639
640
Testing
641
*******
642
643
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
644
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
645
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
646
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
647
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
648
649
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
651
652
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
653
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
654
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
655
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
656
(Vincent Ladeuil)
657
658
Internals
659
*********
660
661
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
662
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
663
664
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
665
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
666
667
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
668
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
669
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
670
671
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
672
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
673
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
674
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
675
676
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
677
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
678
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
679
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
680
681
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
682
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
683
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
684
685
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
686
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
687
dependency. (Robert Collins)
688
689
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
690
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
691
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
692
693
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
694
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
695
(Robert Collins)
696
697
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
698
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
699
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
700
701
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
702
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
703
704
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
705
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
706
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
707
708
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
709
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
710
(Jelmer Vernooij)
711
712
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
713
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
714
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
715
716
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
717
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
718
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
719
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
720
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
721
722
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
723
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
724
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
725
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
726
727
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
728
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
729
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
730
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
731
732
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
733
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
734
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
735
736
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
737
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
738
(Andrew Bennetts)
739
740
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
741
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
742
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
743
744
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
745
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
746
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
747
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
748
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
749
750
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
751
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
752
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,

755
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
756
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
757
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
758
desired. (Robert Collins)
759
760
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
761
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
762
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
763
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
764
765
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
766
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
767
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
784
*****************************
785
786
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
787
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
788
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
789
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
790
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
791
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
792
appeared now.

New Features

************
842
843
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
844
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
845
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
846
847
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
848
(Martin Pool)
849
850
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
851
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
852
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
853

855
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.

857
858
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
859
(John Arbash Meinel)
860
861
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
862
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
863
864
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
865
866
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
867
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
868
(Jonathan Lange)
869
870
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
871
(Jonathan Lange)

873
Improvements
874
************
875
876
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
877
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
878
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
879
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
880
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
881
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
882
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
883
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
884
(Robert Collins)
885
886
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
887
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
888
889
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
890
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
891
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
892
893
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
894
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
895
896
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
897
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
898
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
899
(Ian Clatworthy)
900
901
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
902
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
903
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
904
905
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
906
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
907
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
908
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
909
910
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
911
(Jelmer Vernooij)
912
913
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
914
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
915
916
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
917
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
918
919
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
920
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
921
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
922
923
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
924
925
Bug Fixes
926
*********
927
928
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
929
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
930
931
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
932
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
933
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
934
935
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
936
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
938
939
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
940
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
941
942
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
943
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
944
Vernooij, #315048)
945
946
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
947
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
948
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
949
950
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
951
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
952
953
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
954
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
955
956
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
957
(James Westby, #174539)
958
959
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
960
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
961
962
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
963
error branching from old repositories.
964
(Martin Pool, #321695)
965
966
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
967
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
968
969
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
970
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
971
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
972
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
973
974
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
975
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
976
#334808)
977
978
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
979
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
980
981
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
982
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
983
984
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
985
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
986
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
987
988
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
989
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
990
991
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.

999
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1000
(Ian Clatworthy)
1001
1002
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1003
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1004
1005
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
1009
***********
1010
1011
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1012
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1013
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1014
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1015
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1016
1017
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1018
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1019
1020
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1021
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1022
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1023
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1024
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1025
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1026
1027
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1028
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1029
1030
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1031
"author" argument being deprecated.
1032
1033
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1034
1035
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1036
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1037
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1038
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1039
1040
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1041
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1042
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1043
1044
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1045
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1046
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1047
1048
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1049
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1050
1051
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1052
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1053
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1054
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1055
1056
Internals
1057
*********
1058
1059
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1060
free of virtual file system methods.
1061
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1062
1063
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1064
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1065
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1066
1067
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1068
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1069
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1070
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1071
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1072
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1073
1074
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1075
1076
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1077
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1078
1079
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1080
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1081
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1082
stream the operation.
1083
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1084
1085
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1086
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1087
1088
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1089
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1090
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1091
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1092
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1093
1094
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1095
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1096
1097
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1098
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1099
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1100
1101
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1102
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1103
(Robert Collins)
1104
1105
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1106
(Robert Collins)
1107
1108
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1109
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1110
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1111
1112
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1113
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1114
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1115
1116
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1117
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1118
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1119
1120
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1121
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1122
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1123
1124
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1125
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1126
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1127
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1128
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1129
1130
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1131
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1132
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1133
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1134
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1135
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1136
1137
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1138
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1139
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1140
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1141
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1142
1143
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1144
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1145
1146
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1147
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1148
1149
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1150
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1151
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1152
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1153
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1154
1155
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1156
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

1167
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1168
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1169
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of

Changes from RC1 to Final
1174
*************************
1175
1176
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1177
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1178
1179
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1180
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1181
1182
Compatibility Breaks
1183
********************
1184
1185
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1186
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1187
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1188
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1189
1190
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1191
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1192
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1193
(Ian Clatworthy)
1194
1195
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1196
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1197
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1198
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1199
1200
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1201
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1202
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.

* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1206
1207
New Features
1208
************
1209
1210
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1211
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1212
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1213
(Marius Kruger)
1214
1215
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1216
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1217
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1218
1219
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1220
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1221
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1222
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1223
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1224
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1225
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1226
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1227
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.

Improvements
1231
************
1232
1233
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1234
(Daniel Watkins)
1235
1236
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1237
(Marius Kruger)
1238
1239
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1240
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1241
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1242
1243
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1244
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1245
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1246
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1247
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1248
1249
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1250
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1251
1252
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1253
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1254
level for better precision.
1255
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1256
1257
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1258
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1259
1260
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1261
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1262
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1263
1264
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1265
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1266
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1267
(Andrew Bennetts)
1268
1269
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1270
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1271
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1272

Bug Fixes
1274
*********
1275
1276
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1277
anymore.
1278
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1279
1280
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1281
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1282
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1283
1284
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1285
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1286
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1287
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1288
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1289
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1290
1291
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1292
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1293
1294
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1295
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1296
1297
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1298
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1299
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1300
1301
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1302
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1303
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1304
(Andrew Bennetts)
1305
1306
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1307
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1308
1309
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1310
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1311
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1312
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1313
1314
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1315
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1316
handled.
1317
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1318

1332
1333
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1334
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1335
1336
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to

1341
1342
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1343
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1344
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1345
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1346

1349
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)

1352
*********
1353
1354
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1355
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1356
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1357
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1358
compile buffers, are such an example).
1359
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1360

1362
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1363
(Ian Clatworthy)
1364
1365
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1366
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1367
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1368
(Ian Clatworthy)
1369
1370
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1371
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1372
1373
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log

1381
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1382
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1383
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1384
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1385
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1386
1387
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1388
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
1389
advice.
1390
1391
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
1392
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

Changes
1409
*******
1410
1411
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
1412
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1413
1414
New Features
1415
************
1416
1417
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
1418
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
1419
1420
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
1421
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
1422
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
1423
implement other plugins.
1424
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1425
1426
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
1427
(Aaron Bentley)
1428
1429
Improvements
1430
************
1431
1432
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
1433
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
1434
1435
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
1436
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1437
1438
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1439
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1440
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1441
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1442
(Mark Hammond)
1443
1444
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1445
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1446
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1447
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1448
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1449
1450
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1451
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1452
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1453
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1454
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1455
1456
Bug Fixes
1457
*********
1458
1459
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1460
control directory. (#139691)
1461
1462
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1463
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1464
1465
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1466
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1467
1468
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1469
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1470
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1471
1472
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1473
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1474

* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1476
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1477
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1478

1482
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1483

1484
1485
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1486
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1487
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1488
1489
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1490
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1491
1492
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1493
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1494
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1495
1496
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1497
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1498
in the appropriate sections.
1499
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1500
1501
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1502
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1503
(John Arbash meinel)
1504
1505
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1506
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1507
1508
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1510
1511
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1512
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1513
1514
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1515
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1516
work better with how it splits its requests.
1517
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1518
1519
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1520
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1521
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1522
1523
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1524
(Aaron Bentley)
1525
1526
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1527
1528
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1529
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1530

Documentation
1535
*************
1536
1537
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1538
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1539
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1540
(Ian Clatworthy)
1541
1542
API Changes
1543
***********
1544
1545
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1546
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1547
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1548
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1549
1550
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1551
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1552
1553
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1554
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1555
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1556
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1557
1558
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1559
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1560
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1561
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1562
1563
Testing
1564
*******
1565
1566
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1567
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1568
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1569
1570
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1571
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1572
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1573
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1574
1575
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1576
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1577
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1578
(Ian Clatworthy)
1579
1580
Internals
1581
*********
1582
1583
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1584
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1585
(John Arbash Meinel)
1586
1587
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1588
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1589
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1590
(John Arbash Meinel)
1591
1592
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1593
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1594
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1595
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1596
1597
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1598
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1599
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1600
1601
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1602
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1603
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1604
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1605
1606
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1607
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1608
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1609
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1610
(John Arbash Meinel)
1611
1612
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1613
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1614
1615
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1616
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1617
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1618
1619
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1620
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1621
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1622
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1623
1624
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1625
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1626
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1627
(John Arbash Meinel)
1628
1629
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1630
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1631
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1632
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1633
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1634
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1635
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1636
1637
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1638
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1646
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1647
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1648
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1649
implementation.

when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1663
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1664

This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1672
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1673
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1674
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1675
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

************
1688
1689
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1690
history just to set the last revision info.
1691
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1692
1693
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1694
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1695
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1696
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1697
1698
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1699
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1700
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1701
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1702
(John Arbash Meinel)
1703
1704
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1705
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1706
1707
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1708
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1709
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1710
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1711
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1712
1713
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1714
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1715
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1716
once. (John Arbash Meinel)

1721
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1722
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1723
1724
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1725
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1726
1727
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1728
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1729
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1730
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1731
1732
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1733
starting with a dotted revno.
1734
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1735
1736
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1737
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1738
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1739
1740
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1741
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1742
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1743
1744
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1745
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1746
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1747
1748
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1749
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1750
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1751
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1752
1753
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1754
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1755
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1756
1757
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.

API Changes
1761
***********
1762
1763
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1764
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1765
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1766
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1767
1768
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1769
have changed incompatibly.
1770
1771
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1772
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1773
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1774
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1775
don't need to change.
1776
1777
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1778
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.

This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1793
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1794
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1795
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1796
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1797
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.

New Features

************
1817
1818
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1819
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1820
1821
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1822
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1823
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1824
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1825
1826
Improvements
1827
************
1828
1829
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1830
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1831
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1832
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1833
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1834
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1835
1836
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1837
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1838
1839
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1840
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1841
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1842
1843
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1844
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1845
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1846
(Andrew Bennetts)
1847
1848
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1849
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1850
1851
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1852
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1853
1854
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1855
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1856
1857
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1858
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1859
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1860
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1861
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1862
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1863
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1864
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1865
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1866
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1867
1868
Bug Fixes
1869
*********
1870
1871
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1872
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1873
1874
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1875
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1876
1877
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1878
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1879
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1880
1881
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1882
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1883
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1884
1885
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1886
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1887
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1888
1889
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1890
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1891
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1892
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1893
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1894
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1895
1896
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1897
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1898
1899
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1900
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1901
1902
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1903
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1904
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1905
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1906
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1907
1908
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1909
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1910
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

Changes
1956
*******
1957
1958
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1959
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1960
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1961
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1962
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1963
1964
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1965
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1966
1967
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1968
server. (Marius Kruger)
1969
1970
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1971
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1972
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1973
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1974
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1975
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)

************
1988
1989
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1990
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1991
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1992
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1993
1994
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1995
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1996
(Daniel Watkins)
1997
1998
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1999
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.

* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2008

2009
2010
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2011
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2012
2013
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2014
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2015
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2016
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2017
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2018
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2019
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2020
operations. (Robert Collins)
2021
2022
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2023
2024
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2025
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing

2063
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2064
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2065
2066
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2067
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2068
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2069
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)

************
2251
2252
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2253
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2254
(Martin Pool)
2255
2256
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2257
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2258
2259
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2260
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2261
(Marius Kruger)
2262
2263
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2264
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2265
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2266
(John Arbash Meinel)
2267
2268
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2269
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2270
2271
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2272
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2273
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2274
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2275
(John Arbash Meinel)
2276
2277
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2278
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2279
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2280
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2281
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2282
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2283
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2284
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2285
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2286
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes
2289
*********
2290
2291
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2292
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2293
2294
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2295
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2296
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2297
2298
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2299
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2300
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2301
2302
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2303
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2304
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2305
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2306
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2307
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2308
2309
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2310
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2311
2312
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2313
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2314
2315
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2316
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2317
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2318
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2319
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2320
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2321
2322
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2323
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2324
2325
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2326
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2327
2328
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2329
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2330
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2331
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2332
2333
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2334
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2335
2336
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2337
assuming the host name is ascii.
2338
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2339

2370
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
2371
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
2372
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2373
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
2374
2375
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
2376
still in use.
2377
(Mark Hammond)
2378
2379
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
2380
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
2381
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)

2390
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
2391
(Robert Collins)
2392
2393
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
2394
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
2395
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
2396
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
2397
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2398
2399
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
2400
is unknown in both source and target.
2401
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
2402
2403
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
2404
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
2405
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
2406
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2407
2408
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
2409
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
2410
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
2411
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

2437
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2438
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2439
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2440
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2441
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2442
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2443
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2444
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2445
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2446
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2447
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2448
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
2449
2450
Bug Fixes
2451
*********
2452
2453
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2454
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2455
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2456
start of the string (causing more copies).
2457
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2458
especially for projects with large files.
2459
(John Arbash Meinel)
2460
2461
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2462
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2463
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2464
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2465
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2466
2467
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2468
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2469
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2470
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2471
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
2620
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
2621
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
2622
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
2623
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
2624
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2625
2626
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
2627
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
2628
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)

Bug Fixes
2631
*********
2632
2633
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
2634
physical repository boundaries.
2635
(Martin Pool, #252428)
2636
2637
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2638
(Martin Pool, #206258)
2639
2640
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2641
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
2642
(Martin Pool)
2643
2644
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2645
(Ian Clatworthy)
2646
2647
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2648
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2649
that Python is running from.
2650
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2651
2652
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2653
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2654
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2655
2656
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2657
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
2658
2659
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
2660
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
2661
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
2662
2663

API Changes
2670
***********
2671
2672
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2673
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2674
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2675
(Robert Collins)
2676
2677
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2678
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2679
(Robert Collins)
2680
2681
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2682
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2683
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2684
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2685
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2686
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2687
(Robert Collins)
2688
2689
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2690
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2691
2692
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2693
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2694
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2695
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2696
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2697
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2698
2699
Internals
2700
*********
2701
2702
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2703
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2704
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2705
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2706
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2707
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2708
2709
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2710
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2711
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2712
2713
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2714
(Ian Clatworthy)
2715
2716
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2717
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
2718
2719
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2727
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2728
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2729
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2730
bug fixes.
2731
2732
Features
2733
********
2734
2735
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2736
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2737
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2738
2739
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2740
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2741
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2742
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2743
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2744
(Ian Clatworthy)
2745
2746
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2747
2748
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2749
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2750
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2751
(Robert Collins)
2752
2753
Improvements
2754
************
2755
2756
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2757
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2758
(Martin Pool)
2759
2760
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2761
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2762
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2763
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2764
2765
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2766
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2767
(Christophe Troestler)
2768
2769
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2770
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2771
2772
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2773
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2774
faster. The new request method name is
2775
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2776
2777
Bug Fixes
2778
*********
2779
2780
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2781
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2782
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2783
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2784
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2785
2786
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2787
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2788
2789
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2790
requires a branch to be present.
2791
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2792
2793
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2794
loaded.
2795
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2796
2797
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2798
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2799
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2800
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2801
2802
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2803
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2804
2805
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2806
name contains an @.
2807
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2808
2809
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2810
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2811
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2812
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2813
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2814
2815
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2816
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2817
2818
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2819
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2820
2821
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2822
Cygwin Bazaar.
2823
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2824
2825
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
2826
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
2827
2828
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.

2843
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
2844
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
2845
2846
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2847
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2848
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2849
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
2850
2851
API Changes
2852
***********
2853
2854
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
2855
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
2856
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
2857
Repository docstring for more details.
2858
(Robert Collins)
2859
2860
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2861
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2862
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2863
2864
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
2865
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2866
(Daniel Watkins)
2867
2868
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2869
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2870
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
2871
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)

*********
2875
2876
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
2877
(Alexander Belchenko)
2878
2879
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
2880
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
2881
containing a given location.
2882
(Daniel Watkins)
2883
2884
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
2885
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
2886
storage. (Robert Collins)
2887
2888
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2889
(Robert Collins)
2890
2891
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,

Bug Fixes
2905
*********
2906
2907
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2908
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2909
reading from the repository.)
2910
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2911
2912
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2913

2916
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2917
(Andrew Bennetts)
2918
2919
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2920
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2921
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2922
2923
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2924
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2925
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2926
2927
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2928
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2929
2930
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2931
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2932
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,

2986
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2987
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network

Notes When Upgrading
2993
********************
2994
2995
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2996
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2997
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2998
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2999
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3000
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3001
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

************
3019
3020
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3021
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3022
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3023
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3024
3025
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3026
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3027
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3028
3029
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3030
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3031
3032
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3033
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3034
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3035
3036
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3037
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3038
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3039
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3040
step closer to not using full revision history.

3054
3055
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3056

3057
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3058

3067
in use by another process.
3068
(Martin Pool)
3069
3070
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3071
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3072
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3073

* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run

* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3132
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3133
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.

API Changes
3137
***********
3138
3139
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3140
instead. (Martin Pool)
3141
3142
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3143
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3144
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3145
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3146
3147
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3148
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3149
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3150
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3151
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3152
3153
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3154
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3155
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3156
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3157
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3158
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3159
3160
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3161
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3162
(Martin Pool)
3163
3164
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3165
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3166
(Robert Collins)
3167
3168
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3169
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3170
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3171
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3172
3173
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3174
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3175
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3176
3177
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3178
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3179
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3180
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3181
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3182
(Martin Pool)
3183
3184
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3185
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3186
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3187
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3188
(Robert Collins)
3189
3190
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3191
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3192
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3193
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3194
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3195
3196
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3252
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3253
3254
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3255
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3256
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3257
3258
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3259

3275
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3276
3277
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3278
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.

3284
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3285
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3286
3287
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3288
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3289
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3290
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3291
3292

3293
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3294
(Martin Pool)
3295
3296
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3297
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.

(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3299
3300
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3301
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3302
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3303

3336
3337
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
3338
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D

3342
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
3343
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3344
3345
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
3346
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test

suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
3348
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3349
3350
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
3351
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)

* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
3446

3447
3448
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
3449
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
3450
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3451
3452
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3453
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3454
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3455
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3456
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3457
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,

********
3467
3468
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3469
3470
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3471
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3472
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3473

3480
repository. (Aaron Bentley)

3482
Improvements
3483
************
3484
3485
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3486
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3487
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3488
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3489
3490
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3491
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3492
3493
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3494
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3495
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3496
Wouter van Heyst)
3497
3498
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3499
(Chad Miller)
3500
3501
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3502
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3503
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3504
3505
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3506
(Aaron Bentley)
3507
3508
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3509
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3510
3511
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3512
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3513
3514
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3515
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3516
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3517
3518
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3519
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3520
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3521
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3522
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3523
3524
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3525
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3526
3527
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3528
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3529
3530
Bugfixes
3531
********
3532
3533
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3534
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3535
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3536
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3537
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3538
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3539
3540
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3541
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3542
3543
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3544
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3545
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
3546
3547
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
3548

3551

3553
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3554
3555
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3556
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3557
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3558
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3559
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
3560

API Breaks
3586
**********
3587
3588
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3589
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3590
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3591
3592
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3593
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3594
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3595
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3596
3597
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3598
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3599
release. (James Westby)
3600
3601
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3602
(Andrew Bennetts)
3603
3604
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3605
3606
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3607
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3608
3609
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3610
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3611
3612
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3613
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3614
3615
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3616
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3617
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3618
3619
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3620
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3621
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3622
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3623
3624
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3625
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3626
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3627
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3628
3629
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3630
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3631
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3632
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3633
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3634
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3635
3636
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3637
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3638
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3639
3640
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3641
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3642
3643
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3644
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3645
(Robert Collins)
3646
3647
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3648
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3649
3650
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3651
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3652
3653
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3654
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3655
3656
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3657
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3658
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3659
3660
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3661
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3662
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3663
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3664
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3665
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3666
3667
Testing
3668
*******
3669
3670
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3671
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3672
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3673
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3674
3675
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3676
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3677
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3678
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3679
implement this).
3680
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3681
3682
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3683
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3684
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3685
3686
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3687
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3688
3689
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3690
3691
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3692
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3693
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
3694

3696
*********
3697
3698
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3699
3700
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
3701
(Martin Albisetti)
3702
3703
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3704
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3705
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3706
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3707
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3708
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3709
3710
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3711
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3712
3713
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3714
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
3715
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3716
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
3717
3718
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3719
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
3720
3721
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
3722
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
210
211
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
212
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
213
214
CHANGES:
215
216
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
217
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
218
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
219
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
220
(Robert Collins)
221
222
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
223
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
224
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
225
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
226
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
227
(Alexander Belchenko)
228
229
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
230
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
231
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
232
(Alexander Belchenko)
233
234
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
235
236
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
237
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
238
239
FEATURES:
240
241
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
242
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
243
244
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
245
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
246
(Jelmer Vernooij)
247
248
IMPROVEMENTS:
249
250
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
251
252
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
253
254
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
255
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
256
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
257
258
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
259
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
260
261
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
262
to. (Daniel Watkins)
263
264
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
265
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
266
(Alexander Belchenko)
267
268
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
269
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
270
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
271
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
272
273
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
274
(Daniel Watkins)
275
276
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
277
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
278
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
279
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
280
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
281
282
BUGFIXES:
283
284
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
285
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
286
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
287
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
288
289
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
290
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
291
292
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
293
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
306

308
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
309
310
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
311
312
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
313
symlinks (James Henstridge)
314
315
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
316
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
317
318
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
319
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
320
321
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
322
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
323
324
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
325
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
326
327
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
328
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
329

332
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.

334
335
API BREAKS:
336
337
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
338
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
339
(Alexander Belchenko)
340
341
TESTING:
342
343
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
344
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
345
(Robert Collins)
346
347
INTERNALS:
348
349
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
350
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
351
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
352
353
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
354
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
355
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
356
(Alexander Belchenko)
357
358
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
359
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
360
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
361
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
362
363
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
364
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
365
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
366
(Robert Collins)
367
368
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
369
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
370
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
371
372
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
373
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
374
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
375
376
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
377
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
378
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
379
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
394
395
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
396
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
397
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
398
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
399
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
400
(Andrew Bennetts)
401
402
CHANGES:
403
404
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
405
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
406
407
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
408
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
409
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
410
411
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
412
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
413
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
414
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
415
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
416
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
417
(Aaron Bentley)
418
419
FEATURES:
420
421
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
422
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
423
424
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
425
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
426
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
427
(Robert Collins)
428
429
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
430
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
431
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
432
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
433
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
434
435
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
436
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
437
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
438
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
439
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
440
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
441
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
442
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
443
444
IMPROVEMENTS:
445
446
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
447
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
448
449
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
450
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
451
452
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
453
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
454
455
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
456
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
457
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
458
459
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
460
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
461
(John Arbash Meinel)
462
463
BUGFIXES:
464
465
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
466
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
467
468
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
469
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
470
471
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
472
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
473
474
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
475
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
476
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
477
478
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
479
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
480
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
481
482
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
483
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
484
485
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
486
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
487
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
488
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
489
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
490
unittest runner.
491
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
492
493
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
494
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
495
#185907)
496
497
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
498
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
499
500
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
501
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
502
503
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
505
506
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
507
more characters which should be considered valid.
508
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
509
510
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
511
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
512
513
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
514
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
515
516
API BREAKS:
517
518
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
519
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
520
521
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
522
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
523
(Martin Pool)
524
525
TESTING:
526
527
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
528
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
529
(Vincent Ladeuil)
530
531
INTERNALS:
532
533
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
534
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
535
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
536
537
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
538
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
539
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
540
541
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
542
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
543
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
544
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
545
546
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
547
548
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
549
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
550
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
551
server. (Robert Collins)
552
553
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
554
operate. (Robert Collins)
555
556
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
557
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
558
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
559
560
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
561
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
562
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
563
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
564
565
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
566
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
567
568
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
569
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
570
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
571
572
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
573
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
574
575
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
576
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
577
578
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
579
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
580
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
581
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4135
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4136
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4137
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4138
4139
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4140
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4141
4142
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4143
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4144
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4145
4146
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4147
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4148
4149
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4150
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4151
4152
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4153
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4154
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4155
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

---------------------
591
592
CHANGES:
593
594
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
595
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
596
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
597
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
598
599
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
600
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
601
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
602
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
603
604
FEATURES:
605
606
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
607
(Lukáš Lalinský)
608
609
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
610
(Aaron Bentley)
611
612
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
613
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
614
615
IMPROVEMENTS:
616
617
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
618
#90049)
619
620
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
621
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
622
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
623
624
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
625
626
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
627
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
628
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
629
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
630
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
631
632
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
633
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
634
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
635
636
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
637
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
638
639
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
640
(Vincent Ladeuil)
641
642
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
643
644
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
645
646
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
647
(Aaron Bentley)
648
649
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
650
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
651
652
BUGFIXES:
653
654
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
655
(Martin Pool, #180208)
656
657
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
659
660
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
661
(Aaron Bentley)
662
663
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
664
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
665
666
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
667
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
668
669
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
670
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
671
672
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
673
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
674
675
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
676
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
677
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
678
679
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
681
682
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
683
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
684
(Aaron Bentley)
685
686
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
687
688
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
689
user:pass embedded in the urls.
690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
691
692
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
693
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
694
695
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
696
(Aaron Bentley)
697
698
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
699
#148087)
700
701
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
702
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
703
704
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
705
#137681)
706
707
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
708
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
709
(Aaron Bentley)
710
711
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
712
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
714
715
DOCUMENTATION:
716
717
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
718
(Ian Clatworthy)
719
720
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
721
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
722
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
723
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
724
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
725
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
726
727
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
728
729
INTERNALS:
730
731
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

736
737

738
739
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
740
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
741
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
742
Robert Collins)
743
744
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
745
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
746
747
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
748

756
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
757
758
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
759
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
760
(Robert Collins)
761
762
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
763
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
764
765
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
766
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
767
768
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
769
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
770
771
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
772
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
773
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
774
775
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
776
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
777
778
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
779
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
780
781
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
782
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
783
(Vincent Ladeuil)
784
785
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
786
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
787
788
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
789
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
919
---------------------
920
921
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
922
923
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
924
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
925
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
926
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
927
928
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
929
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
930
931
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
932
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
933
934
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
935
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
936
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
937
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
938
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
939
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
940
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
941
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
942
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
943
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
944
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
945
from any tree without problems.

CHANGES:
949
950
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
951
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
952
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
953
954
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
955
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
956
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
957
(Martin Pool)
958
959
FEATURES:
960
961
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
962
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
963
supported transports.
964
(Vincent Ladeuil)
965
966
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
967
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
968
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
969
970
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
971
(Robert Collins, #154173)
972
973
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
974
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
975
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
976
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
977
978
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
979
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
980
981
PERFORMANCE:
982
983
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
984
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
985
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
986
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
987
988
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
989
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
990
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
991
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
992
993
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
994
(Robert Collins, #88319)
995
996
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
997
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
998
999
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1000
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1001
1002
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1003
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1004
(Aaron Bentley)
1005
1006
IMPROVEMENTS:
1007
1008
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1009
(Aaron Bentley)
1010
1011
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1012
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1013
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1014
1015
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1016
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1017
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1018
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1019
1020
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1021
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1022
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1023
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).

1066
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1067
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1068
1069
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1070
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1071
1072
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1073
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1074
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1075
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1076
on them.
1077
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1078

* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1087
to be reconciled.
1088
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1089
1090
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1091
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1092
1093
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1094
specify a port in urls.
1095
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1096
1097

1098
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1099
1100
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.

1130
1131
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1132
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1133
1134
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1135
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1136
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1137
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1138

1160
* The return value of
1161
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been

Notes When Upgrading
4513
********************
4514
4515
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4516
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4517
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4518
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4519
4520
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4521
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4522
4523
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4524

4525
4526
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4527
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4528
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4529
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4530
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4531
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4532
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4533
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4534
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4535
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4536
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4537
from any tree without problems.

Changes
4541
*******
4542
4543
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
4544
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
4545
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
4546
4547
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
4548
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
4549
(Martin Pool)
4550
4551
Features
4552
********
4553
4554
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
4555
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
4556
supported transports.
4557
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4558
4559
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
4560
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
4561
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
4562
4563
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
4564
(Robert Collins, #154173)
4565
4566
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
4567
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
4568
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
4569
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
4570
4571
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
4572
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
4573
4574
Performance
4575
***********
4576
4577
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
4578
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
4579
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
4580
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4581
4582
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4583
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
4584
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
4585
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
4586
4587
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
4588
(Robert Collins, #88319)
4589
4590
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
4591
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
4592
4593
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
4594
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
4595
4596
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
4597
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
4598
(Aaron Bentley)

Improvements
4601
************
4602
4603
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
4604
(Aaron Bentley)
4605
4606
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
4607
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
4608
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4609
4610
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
4611
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
4612
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
4613
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
4614
4615
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
4616
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
4617
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
4618
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

4631
4632
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
4633

4651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
4652
4653

4654
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.

4661
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
4662
4663
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
4664
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
4665
4666
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
4667
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
4668
4669
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
4670
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
4671
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
4672
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
4673
on them.
4674
(Martin Pool, #164637)
4675
4676
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
4677
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
4678
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)

* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
4681
(Robert Collins, #161240)

4684
to be reconciled.
4685
(Martin Pool, #164443)
4686
4687
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
4688
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
4689
4690
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
4691
specify a port in urls.
4692
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
4693

4695
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
4696
4697
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.

4726
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
4727
4728
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
4729
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
4730
4731
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
4732
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
4733
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
4734
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
4735
4736
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
4737
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
4738
4739
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
4740
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
4741
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
4742
4743
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
4744
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)

**********
4754
4755
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
4756
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
4757
4758
* The return value of
4759
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
4760
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
4761
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
4762
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
4763
4764
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
4765
(Robert Collins)
4766
4767
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
4768
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
4769
format.

``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
4777
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
4778
Bennetts)
4779
4780
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
4781
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
4782
4783
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1201
1202
CHANGES:
1203
1204
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1205
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1206
1207
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1208
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1209
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1210
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1211
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1212
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1213
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1214
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1215
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1216
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1217
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1218
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1219
(Robert Collins)
1220
1221
FEATURES:
1222
1223
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1224
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1225
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1226
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1227
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1228
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1229
1230
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1231
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1232
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1233
(Robert Collins)
1234
1235
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1236
1237
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1238
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1239
1240
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1241
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1242
(Aaron Bentley)
1243
1244
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1245
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1246
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1247
1248
PERFORMANCE:
1249
1250
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1251
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1252
1253
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1254
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1255
1256
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1257
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1258
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1259
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1260
1261
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1262
(Robert Collins)
1263
1264
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1265
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1266
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1267
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1268
1269
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1270
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1271
1272
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1273
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1274
1275
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1276
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1277
1278
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1279
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1280
1281
IMPROVEMENTS:
1282
1283
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1284
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1285
1286
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1287
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1288
1289
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1290
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1291
1292
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1293
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1294
1295
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1296
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1297
1298
DOCUMENTATION:
1299
1300
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1301
1302
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1303
(Ian Clatworthy)
1304
1305
BUG FIXES:
1306
1307
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1308
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1309
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1310
1311
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1312
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1313
1314
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1315
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1316
1317
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1318
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1319
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1320
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1321
1322
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1323
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1324
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1325
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1326
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1327
1328
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1329
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1330
paramiko.
1331
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1332
1333
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1334
1335
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1336
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1337
1338
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1340
1341
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1343
1344
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1345
contains a symbolic link.
1346
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1347
1348
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1349
(James Westby, #140615)
1350
1351
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1352
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1354
1355
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1356
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1357
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1358
1359
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1360
1361
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1363
1364
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1365
will remain opened.
1366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1367
1368
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1369
directory to detect leaking tests.
1370
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1371
1372
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1373
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1374
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1375
1376
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1377
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1378
1379
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1380
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1381
1382
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1383
Merwe)
1384
1385
API BREAKS:
1386
1387
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1388
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1389
1390
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1391
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1392
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)

1394

1395
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1396

1397
1398

1401
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1402
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1403
1404
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1405
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1406
(Martin Pool)
1407
1408
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1409
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1410

1413
(Martin Pool)
1414
1415
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1416
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1417
1418
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1419
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1420
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1421
1422
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1423
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1424
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1425
(Robert Collins)
1426
1427
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1428
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1429
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1430

1432
1433
INTERNALS:
1434
1435
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1436
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1437
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1438
1439
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1440
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1441
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1442
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1443
1444
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1445
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1446
(Robert Collins)
1447
1448
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1449
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1450
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1451
1452
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1453
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1454
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1455
1456
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1457
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1458
1459
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1460
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1461
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1462
1463
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1464
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1465
1466
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1467
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1468
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1469
1470
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1471
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1472
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1473
1474
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1475
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1476
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1477
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1478
1479
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1480
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1481
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1482
returned. (Robert Collins)
1483
1484
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1485
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1486
1487
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1488
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1489
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1490
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1491
(Robert Collins)
1492
1493
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1494

TESTING:
1497
1498
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1499
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1500
1501
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1502
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1503
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1504
makes this behavior available to other users.
1505
(Martin Pool)
1506

Changes
4799
*******
4800
4801
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4802
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4803
4804
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4805
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4806
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4807
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4808
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4809
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4810
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4811
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4812
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4813
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4814
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4815
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
4816
(Robert Collins)
4817
4818
Features
4819
********
4820
4821
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4822
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4823
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4824
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4825
commands. (Robert Collins)
4826
4827
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4828
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4829
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4830
(Robert Collins)
4831
4832
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4833
4834
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4835
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4836
4837
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4838
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4839
(Aaron Bentley)
4840
4841
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4842
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4843
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4844
4845
Performance
4846
***********
4847
4848
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4849
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4850
4851
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4852
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4853
4854
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4855
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4856
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4857
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4858
4859
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4860
(Robert Collins)
4861
4862
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4863
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4864
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4865
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4866
4867
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4868
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4869
4870
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4871
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4872
4873
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4874
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4875
4876
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4877
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)

Improvements
4880
************
4881
4882
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
4883
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
4884
4885
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4886
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4887
4888
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4889
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
4890
4891
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
4892
(Martin Pool, #63894)
4893
4894
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
4895
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)

Documentation
4898
*************
4899
4900
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)

Bug Fixes
4906
*********
4907
4908
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4909
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4910
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4911
4912
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4913
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4914
4915
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4916
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4917
4918
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4919
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4920
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4921
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4922
4923
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4924
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4925
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4926
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4927
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4928
4929
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4930
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4931
paramiko.
4932
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
4933
4934
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4935
4936
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
4937
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
4938
4939
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
4940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
4941
4942
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
4943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
4944
4945
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
4946
contains a symbolic link.
4947
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
4948
4949
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
4950
(James Westby, #140615)
4951
4952
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
4953
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
4954
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
4955
4956
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
4957
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
4958
(Martin Pool, #144633)
4959
4960
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4961
4962
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4964
4965
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4966
will remain opened.
4967
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
4968
4969
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
4970
directory to detect leaking tests.
4971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4972
4973
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4974
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4975
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4976
4977
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4978
(Rob Weir, #141629)
4979
4980
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
4981
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
4982
4983
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
4984
Merwe)

API Breaks
4987
**********
4988
4989

4990
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4991
4992
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4993

5122
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

5125
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5126
5127
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5128
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5129
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5130
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5131
5132
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5133
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

CHANGES:
1543
1544
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1545
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1546
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1547
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1548
(Martin Pool)
1549
1550
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1551
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1552
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1553
(Ian Clatworthy)
1554
1555
FEATURES:
1556
1557
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1558
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1559
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1560
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1561
1562
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1563
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1564
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1565
1566
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1567
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1568
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1569
1570
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1571
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1572
1573
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1574
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1575
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1576
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1577
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1578
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1579
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1580
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1581
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1582
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1583
1584
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1585
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1586
1587
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1588
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1589
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1590
1591
BUG FIXES:
1592
1593
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1594
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1595
1596
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1597
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1598
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1599
1600
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1601
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1602
1603
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1604
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1605
1606
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1607
(Aaron Bentley)
1608
1609
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1610
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1611
1612
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1613
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1614
1615
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1616
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1617
1618
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1619
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1620
1621
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1622
1623
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1624
Watkins, #106726)
1625
1626
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1627
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1628
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1629
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1630
1631
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1632
1633
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1634
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1635
#133548)
1636
1637
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1638
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1639
1640
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1641
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1642
#116143)
1643
1644
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1645
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1646
1647
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1648
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1649
1650
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1651
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1652
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1653
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1654
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1655
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1656
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1657
1658
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1659
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1660
1661
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1662
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1663
1664
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1665
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1666
1667
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1668
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1669
1670
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1671
connections.
1672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1673
1674
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1675
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1676
1677
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1678
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1679
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1680
1681
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1682
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1683
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1684
1685
IMPROVEMENTS:
1686
1687
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1688
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1689
1690
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1691
(Aaron Bentley)
1692
1693
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1694
(Aaron Bentley)
1695
1696
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1697
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1698
1699
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1700
1701
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1702
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1703
1704
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1705
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1706
1707
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1708
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1709
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1710
space). (Robert Collins)
1711
1712
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1713
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1714
(Ian Clatworthy)
1715
1716
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1717
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1718
1719
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1720
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1721
1722
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1723
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1724
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1725
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1726
1727
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1728
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1729
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1730
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1731
1732
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1733
(Ian Clatworthy)
1734
1735
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1736
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1737
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1738
1739
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1740
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1741
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1742
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1743
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1744
1745
API BREAKS:
1746
1747
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1748
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1749
1750
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1751
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1752
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1753
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1754
affected. (Robert Collins)
1755
1756
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1757
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1758
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1759
(Robert Collins)
1760
1761
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1762
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1763
1764
TESTING:
1765
1766
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1767
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1768
1769
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1770
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1771
1772
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1773
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1774
1775
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1776
(Aaron Bentley)
1777
1778
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1779
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1780
1781
INTERNALS:
1782
1783
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1784
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1785
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1786
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1787
1788
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1789
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1790
1791
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1792
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1793
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1794
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1795
1796
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1797
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1798
present. (Robert Collins)
1799
1800
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1801
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1802
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1803
API. (Robert Collins)
1804
1805
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1806
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1807
(Robert Collins)
1808
1809
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1810
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1811
1812
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1813
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1814
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1815
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1816
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1817
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1818
1819
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1820
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1821
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1822
1823
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1824
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1825
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1826
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1827
protocol.
1828
1829
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1830
(Aaron Bentley)
1831
1832
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1833
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1834
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1835
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1836
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1837
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1838
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1839
1840
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1841
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1842
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1843
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1844
1845
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1846
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1847
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1848
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1849
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1850
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1851
1852
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1853
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1854
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1855
1856
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1857
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

5248
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5249
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5250
#116143)
5251
5252
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5253
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5254
5255
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5256
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5257
5258
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5259
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5260
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5261
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5262
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5263
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
5264
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
5265
5266
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5267
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5268
5269
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5270
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5271
5272
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5273
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5274
5275
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
5276
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
5277
5278
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
5279
connections.
5280
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
5281
5282
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5283
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5284
5285
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5286
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5287
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
5288
5289
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5290
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5291
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5292
5293
Improvements
5294
************
5295
5296
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5297
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5298
5299
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5300
(Aaron Bentley)
5301
5302
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5303
(Aaron Bentley)
5304
5305
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5306
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5307
5308
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5309
5310
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
5311
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5312
5313
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5314
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5315
5316
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5317
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5318
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5319
space). (Robert Collins)
5320
5321
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5322
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5323
(Ian Clatworthy)
5324
5325
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5326
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5327
5328
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5329
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5330
5331
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5332
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5333
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5334
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5335
5336
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5337
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5338
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5339
(Lukáš Lalinský)
5340
5341
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5342
(Ian Clatworthy)
5343
5344
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5345
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
5346
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
5347
5348
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5349
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5350
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5351
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5352
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
5353
5354
API Breaks
5355
**********
5356
5357
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5358
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5359
5360
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5361
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5362
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5363
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5364
affected. (Robert Collins)
5365
5366
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5367
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5368
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5369
(Robert Collins)
5370
5371
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5372
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5373
5374
Testing
5375
*******
5376
5377
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
5378
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
5379
5380
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
5381
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5382
5383
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5384
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5385
5386
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
5387
(Aaron Bentley)
5388
5389
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
5390
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5391
5392
Internals
5393
*********
5394
5395
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
5396
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
5397
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
5398
its version information. (Robert Collins)
5399
5400
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
5401
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5402
5403
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
5404
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
5405
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
5406
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5407
5408
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
5409
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
5410
present. (Robert Collins)
5411
5412
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
5413
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
5414
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
5415
API. (Robert Collins)
5416
5417
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
5418
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
5419
(Robert Collins)
5420
5421
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
5422
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
5423
5424
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
5425
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
5426
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
5427
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
5428
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
5429
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
5430
5431
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
5432
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
5433
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
5434
5435
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
5436
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
5437
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5438
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5439
protocol.
5440
5441
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5442
(Aaron Bentley)
5443
5444
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5445
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5446
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5447
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5448
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5449
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5450
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5451
5452
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5453
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5454
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5455
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5456
5457
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5458
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5459
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5460
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5461
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5462
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5463
5464
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5465
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5466
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5467
5468
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5469
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1883
----------------------
1884
1885
BUGFIXES:
1886
1887
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1888
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1889
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1890
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1891
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1892
1893
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1895
1896
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1897
anymore.
1898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1899
1900
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1901
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1902
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1903
1904
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1905
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1906
#111664)
1907
1908
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1909
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1910
1911
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1912
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1913
1914
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1915
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1916
1917
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1918
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1919
1920
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1921
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1922
1923
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1924
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1925
1926
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1927
(Aaron Bentley)
1928
1929
IMPROVEMENTS:
1930
1931
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1932
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1933
1934
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1935
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1936
1937
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1938
the repository (Robert Collins)
1939
1940
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1941
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1942
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1943
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1944
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1945
1946
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1947
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1948
1949
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1950
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1951
(John Arbash Meinel)
1952
1953
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1954
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1955
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1956
about 10%).
1957
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1958
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1959
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1960
(John Arbash Meinel)
1961
1962
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1963
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1964
(Robert Collins)
1965
1966
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1967
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1968
1969
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1970
(Ian Clatworthy)
1971
1972
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1973
1974
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1975
1976
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1977
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1978
1979
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1980
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1981
Meinel)
1982
1983
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1984
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1985
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1986
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1987
1988
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1989
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1990
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1991
1992
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1993
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1994
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1995
1996
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1997
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1998
1999
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2000
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2001
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2002
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2003
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2004
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2005
(Ian Clatworthy)
2006
2007
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2008
(Alexander Belchenko)
2009
2010
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2011
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2012
2013
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2014
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2015
2016
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2017
2018
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2019
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2020
2021
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2022
2023
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2024
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2025
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2026
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2027
2028
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2029
2030
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2031
(Robert Collins)
2032
2033
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2034
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2035
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2036
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2037
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2038
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2039
2040
INTERNALS:
2041
2042
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2043
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2044
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2045
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2046
2047
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2048
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2049
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2050
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2051
tests have been refactored too.
2052
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2053
2054
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2055
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2056
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2057
list, it will.
2058
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2059
2060
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2061
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2062
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2063
2064
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2065
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2066
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2067
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2068
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2069
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2070
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2071
2072
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2073
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2074
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2075
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2076
(John Arbash Meinel)
2077
2078
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2079
functionality for testing.
2080
2081
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2082
2083
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2084
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2085
2086
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2087
2088
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2089
(Robert Collins)
2090
2091
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2092
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2093
2094
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2095
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2096
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2097
2098
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2099
(Aaron Bentley)
2100
2101
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2102
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2103
2104
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2105
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2106
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2107
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2108
2109
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2110
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2111
2112
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2113
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2114
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2115
2116
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2117
(Marius Kruger)
2118
2119
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2120
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2121
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2122
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2123
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2124
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2125
2126
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2127
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2128
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2129
many files. (Robert Collins)
2130
2131
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2132
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2133
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2134
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2135
2136
TESTING:
2137
2138
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2139
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2140
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2141
2142
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2143
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2144
2145
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2146
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2147
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

Bugfixes
5500
********
5501
5502
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5503
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5504
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
5505
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
5506
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
5507
5508
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
5509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
5510
5511
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
5512
anymore.
5513
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
5514
5515
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
5516
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
5517
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5518
5519
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
5520
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
5521
#111664)
5522
5523
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
5524
(Lukáš Lalinský)
5525
5526
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
5527
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
5528
5529
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5530
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
5531
5532
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
5533
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
5534
5535
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
5536
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)

5538
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
5539

************
5546
5547
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
5548
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
5549
5550
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
5551
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
5552
5553
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5554
the repository (Robert Collins)
5555
5556
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5557
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5558
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5559
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5560
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
5561
5562
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
5563
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5564
5565
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5566
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5567
(John Arbash Meinel)
5568
5569
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5570
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5571
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5572
about 10%).
5573
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5574
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5575
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5576
(John Arbash Meinel)
5577
5578
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5579
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5580
(Robert Collins)
5581
5582
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5583
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
5584
5585
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5586
(Ian Clatworthy)
5587
5588
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5589
5590
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5591
5592
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5593
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5594
5595
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5596
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5597
Meinel)
5598
5599
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5600
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5601
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5602
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5603
5604
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5605
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5606
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5607
5608
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5609
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5610
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5611
5612
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5613
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5614
5615
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5616
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5617
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5618
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5619
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5620
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
5621
(Ian Clatworthy)
5622
5623
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
5624
(Alexander Belchenko)
5625
5626
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
5627
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
5628
5629
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
5630
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
5631
5632
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
5633

Library API Breaks
5638
******************
5639
5640
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5641
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5642
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5643
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5644
5645
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5646
5647
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5648
(Robert Collins)
5649
5650
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5651
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5652
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5653
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5654
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5655
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5656

*********
5659
5660
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5661
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5662
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5663
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5664
5665
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5666
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5667
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5668
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5669
tests have been refactored too.
5670
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5671
5672
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5673
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5674
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5675
list, it will.
5676
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5677
5678
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5679
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5680
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5681
5682
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5683
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5684
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5685
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5686
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5687
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5688

5729
5730
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two

5733
5734

5735
(Marius Kruger)
5736
5737
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5738
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5739
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones

5751
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the

IMPROVEMENTS:
2209
2210
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2211
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2212
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2213
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2214
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2215
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2216
2217
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2218
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2219
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2220
2221
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2222
(Elliot Murphy)
2223
2224
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2225
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2226
2227
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2228
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2229
2230
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2231
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2232
2233
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2234
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2235
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2236
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2237
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2238
2239
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2240
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2241
2242
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2243
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2244
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2245

2313
2314
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2315
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2316
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2317

2337
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2338
2339
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2340
2341
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2342
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2343
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)

* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2346
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2347
2348
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2349
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2350
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2351
2352
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2353
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2354
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2355
2356
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2357
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2358
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2359
2360
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2361
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2362
Martin Pool)
2363
2364
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2365
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)

* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.

2374
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2375
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2376
2377
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2378
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2379
testing. (Robert Collins)
2380
2381
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2382
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2383
2384
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2385
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2386
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2387
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2388
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2389
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2390
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2391
2392
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2393
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2394
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2395
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2396
2397
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2398
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2399
2400
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to

Improvements
5830
************
5831
5832
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
5833
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
5834
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
5835
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
5836
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
5837
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
5838
5839
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
5840
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
5841
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
5842
5843
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
5844
(Elliot Murphy)
5845
5846
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
5847
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
5848
5849
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
5850
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
5851
5852
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
5853
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
5854
5855
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
5856
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
5857
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
5858
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
5859
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
5860
5861
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
5862
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
5863
5864
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
5865
can be slow it is useful feedback).

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2421
2422
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2423
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2424
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2425
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2426
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2427
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2428
and unlock() like so::
2429
2430
work_tree.lock_read()
2431
try:
2432
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2433
finally:
2434
work_tree.unlock()
2435
2436
INTERNALS:
2437
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2438
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2439
object.
2440
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2441
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2442
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2443
2444
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2445
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2446
too. (Robert Collins)
2447
2448
IMPROVEMENTS:

2479
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2480

2482
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.

Notes When Upgrading
6047
********************
6048
6049
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6050
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6051
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6052
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6053
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6054
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6055
and unlock() like so::
6056
6057
work_tree.lock_read()
6058
try:
6059
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6060
finally:
6061
work_tree.unlock()
6062
6063
Internals
6064
*********
6065
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6066
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6067
object.
6068
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6069
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6070
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6071
6072
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6073
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6074
too. (Robert Collins)

2568
-----------------------

2570
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2571
2572
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2573
it could be recovered again.
2574
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2575
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2576
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2577
but not delete it.
2578
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2579
files.
2580
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2581
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2582
2583
IMPROVEMENTS:
2584
2585
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2586
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2587
2588
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2589
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2590
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2591
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2592
2593
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2594
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2595
2596
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2597
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2598
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2599
2600
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2601
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2602
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2603
2604
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2605
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2606
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2607
2608
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2609
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2610
Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2613
Pool)
2614
2615
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2616
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2617
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2618
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2619
2620
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2621
(Robert Collins)
2622
2623
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2624
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2625
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2626
(Robert Collins)
2627
2628
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2629
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2630
2631
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2632
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2633
2634
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2635
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2636
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2637
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2638
(Robert Collins)
2639
2640
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2641
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2642
2643
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2644
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2645
2646
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2647
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2648
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2649
2650
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2651
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2652
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2653
2654
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2655
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2656
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2657
2658
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2659
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2660
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2661
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2662
2663
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2664
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2665
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2666
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2667
2668
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2669
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2670
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2671
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2672
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2673
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2674
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2675
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2676
header(s).
2677
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2678
2679
INTERNALS:
2680
2681
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2682
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2683
2684
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2685
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2686
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2687
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2688
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2689
2690
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2691
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2692
2693
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2694
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2695
2696
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2697
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2698
2699
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2700
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2701
2702
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2703
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2704
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2705
(Robert Collins).
2706
2707
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2708
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2709
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2710
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2711
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2712
(Robert Collins)
2713
2714
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2715
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2716
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2717
2718
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2719
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2720
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2721
2722
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2723
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2724
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2725
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2726
2727
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2728
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2729
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2730
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2731
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2732
2733
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2734
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2735
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2736
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2737
2738
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2739
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2740
2741
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2742
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2743
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2744

2745
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2746

* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2749

2750
2751
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2752

2753
2754
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2755
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2756
2757
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2758
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2759
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2760
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2761
(John Arbash Meinel)
2762
2763
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2764
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2765
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2766
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2767
useful. (Robert Collins)
2768

(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2794
2795
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is

2798
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2799
2800
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2801

2802
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2803

2805
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2806
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2807
2808
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2809

2810
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2811
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2812
Arbash Meinel)

2814
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2815

2822
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2823

TESTING:
2833
2834
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2835
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2836
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2837
2838
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2839
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2840
2841
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2842
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2843
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2844
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2845
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2846
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2847
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2848
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2849
2850
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2851
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2852
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2853
2854
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2855
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2856
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2857
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2858
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2859

2860
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)

2863
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2864
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2865

Notes When Upgrading
6204
********************
6205
6206
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6207
it could be recovered again.
6208
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6209
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6210
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6211
but not delete it.
6212
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6213
files.
6214
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6215
(Marius Kruger, #82602)

Improvements
6218
************
6219
6220
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6221
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6222
6223
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6224
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6225
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6226
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6227
6228
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6229
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6230
6231
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6232
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6233
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6234
6235
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6236
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6237
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6238
6239
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6240
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6241
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6242
6243
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6244
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6245
Robert Collins)
6246
6247
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6248
Pool)
6249
6250
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6251
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6252
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6253
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6254
6255
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6256
(Robert Collins)
6257
6258
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6259
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6260
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6261
(Robert Collins)
6262
6263
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6264
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6265
6266
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6267
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6268
6269
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6270
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6271
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6272
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6273
(Robert Collins)
6274
6275
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6276
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6277
6278
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6279
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6280
6281
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6282
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6283
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6284
6285
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6286
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6287
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6288
6289
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6290
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6291
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6292
6293
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6294
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6295
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6296
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6297
6298
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6299
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6300
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6301
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6302
6303
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6304
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6305
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6306
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6307
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6308
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6309
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6310
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6311
header(s).
6312
(Vincent Ladeuil).

6314
Internals
6315
*********
6316
6317
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6318
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6319
6320
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6321
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6322
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6323
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6324
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6325
6326
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6327
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6328
6329
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6330
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6331
6332
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6333
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6334
6335
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6336
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6337
6338
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6339
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6340
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6341
(Robert Collins).
6342
6343
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6344
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6345
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6346
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6347
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6348
(Robert Collins)
6349
6350
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6351
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6352
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6353
6354
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6355
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6356
(Vincent Ladeuil).
6357
6358
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6359
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6360
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6361
(Vincent Ladeuil).
6362
6363
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6364
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6365
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6366
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6367
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6368
6369
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6370
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6371
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6372
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6373
6374
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6375
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6376
6377
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6378
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6379
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6380
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6381
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6382
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
6383
6384
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
6385
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
6386
6387
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
6388
help. (Robert Collins)
6389
6390
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
6391
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6392
6393
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
6394
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
6395
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
6396
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
6397
(John Arbash Meinel)
6398
6399
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
6400
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
6401
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
6402
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
6403
useful. (Robert Collins)

CHANGES:
2886
2887
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2888

2890
2891
IMPROVEMENTS:
2892
2893
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2894
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2895
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2896
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2897
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2898
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2899
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2900
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2901
path. (vila)
2902
2903
INTERNALS:
2904
2905
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2906
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2907
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2908
2909
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2910
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2911
(Martin Pool)
2912
2913
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2914
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2915
(John Arbash Meinel)
2916
2917
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2918
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2919
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2920
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2921
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)

2936
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2937
2938
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2939
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2940
2941
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2942
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2943
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2944
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2945
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2946
2947
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2948
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2949
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2950

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3005
-----------------------
3006
3007
SURPRISES:
3008
3009
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3010
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3011
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3012
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3013
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3014
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3015
3016
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3017
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3018
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3019
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3020
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3021
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3022
development.
3023
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3024
3025
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3026
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3027
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3028
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3029
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3030
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3031
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3032
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3033
3034
IMPROVEMENTS:
3035
3036
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3037
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3038
3039
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3040
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3041
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3042
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3043
does exist.
3044
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3045
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3046
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3047
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3048
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3049
3050
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3051
(Aaron Bentley)
3052
3053
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3054
(Aaron Bentley)
3055
3056
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3057
(Robert Collins)
3058
3059
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3060
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3061
(Aaron Bentley)
3062
3063
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3064
(Aaron Bentley)
3065
3066
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3067
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3068
3069
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3070
directory. (Martin Pool)
3071
3072
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3073
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3074
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3075
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3076
3077
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3078
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3079
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3080
in docs/configuration.txt.
3081
3082
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3083
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3084
bind location.
3085
3086
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3087
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3088
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3089
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3090
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3091
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3092
3093
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3094
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3095
3096
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3097
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3098
3099
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3100
(Aaron Bentley)
3101
3102
INTERNALS:
3103
3104
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3105
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3106
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3107
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3108
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3109
(John Arbash Meinel)
3110
3111
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3112
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3113
(Aaron Bentley)
3114
3115
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3116
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3117
(John Arbash Meinel)
3118
3119
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3120
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3121
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3122
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3123
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3124
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3125
3126
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3127
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3128
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3129
3130
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3131
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3132
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3133
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3134
repository.
3135
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3136
3137
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3138
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3139
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3140
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3141
3142
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3143
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3144
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3145
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3146
3147
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3148
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3149
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3150
3151
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3152
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3153
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3154
3155
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3156
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3157
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3158
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3159
3160
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3161
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3162
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3163
3164
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3165
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3166
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3167
3168
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3169
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3170
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3171
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3172
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3173
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3174
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3175
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3176
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3177
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3178
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3179
3180
BUGFIXES:
3181
3182
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3183
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3184
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3185
3186
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3187
(Aaron Bentley)
3188
3189
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3190
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3191
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3192
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3193
3194

3195
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3196
#83954).
3197
3198

Surprises
6655
*********
6656
6657
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6658
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6659
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6660
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6661
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6662
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6663
6664
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6665
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6666
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6667
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6668
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6669
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6670
development.
6671
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6672
6673
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6674
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6675
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6676
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6677
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6678
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6679
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6680
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6681
6682
Improvements
6683
************
6684
6685
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6686
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6687
6688
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6689
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6690
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6691
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6692
does exist.
6693
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6694
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6695
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6696
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6697
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6698
6699
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6700
(Aaron Bentley)
6701
6702
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6703
(Aaron Bentley)
6704
6705
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6706
(Robert Collins)
6707
6708
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6709
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6710
(Aaron Bentley)
6711
6712
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6713
(Aaron Bentley)
6714
6715
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6716
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6717
6718
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6719
directory. (Martin Pool)
6720
6721
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6722
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6723
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6724
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6725
6726
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6727
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6728
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6729
in docs/configuration.txt.
6730
6731
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6732
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6733
bind location.
6734
6735
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6736
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6737
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6738
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6739
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6740
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6741
6742
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6743
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6744
6745
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6746
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6747
6748
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
6749
(Aaron Bentley)
6750
6751
Internals
6752
*********
6753
6754
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6755
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6756
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6757
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6758
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6759
(John Arbash Meinel)
6760
6761
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6762
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6763
(Aaron Bentley)
6764
6765
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6766
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6767
(John Arbash Meinel)
6768
6769
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6770
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6771
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6772
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6773
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6774
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6775
6776
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6777
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6778
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6779
6780
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6781
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6782
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6783
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6784
repository.
6785
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6786
6787
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6788
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6789
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6790
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6791
6792
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6793
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6794
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6795
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6796
6797
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6798
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6799
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6800
6801
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6802
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6803
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6804
6805
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6806
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6807
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6808
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6809
6810
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6811
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6812
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6813
6814
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6815
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6816
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6817
6818
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6819
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6820
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6821
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6822
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6823
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6824
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6825
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6826
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

6836
6837
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
6838

6839
6840

-----------------------

3251
IMPROVEMENTS:
3252
3253
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3254
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3255
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3256
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3257
3258
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3259
(Marius Kruger)
3260
3261
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3262
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3263
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3264
3265
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3266
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3267
3268
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3269
(Aaron Bentley)
3270
3271
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3272
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3273
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3274
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3275
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3276
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3277
3278
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3279
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3280
should enable you to do::
3281
3282
[/home/user/project]
3283
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3284
push_location:policy = appendpath
3285
3286
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3287
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3288
(James Henstridge)
3289
3290
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3291
for each file. For example::
3292
3293
$ bzr status --short
3294
A foo
3295

3296
D baz

* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3303

* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3305
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)

3307
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3308
3309
INTERNALS:
3310
3311
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to

help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3313
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3314
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3315
3316
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3317
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3318
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3319
3320
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3321
3322
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3323
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3324
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3325
(Alexander Belchenko)
3326
3327
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3328
Pool)
3329
3330
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3331
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)

3334
3335
BUG FIXES:

3337
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3338
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3339
3340
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3341
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3342
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3343
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3344
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3345

* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3347
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)

* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3350
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3351
3352
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3353
matcher.
3354
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3355
3356
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3357
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3358
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3359
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3360
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3361
3362
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3363
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3364
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3365
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)

* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6946
for each file. For example::

6948
$ bzr status --short
6949
A foo

* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
6955
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
6956
6957
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
6958
6959
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
6960
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)

6966
6967
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
6968
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6969
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6970
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6971
6972
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6973
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6974
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6975
6976
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6977
6978
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6979
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6980
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6981
(Alexander Belchenko)
6982
6983
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
6984

6994
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
6995
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
6996
6997
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6998
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6999
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7000
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7001
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7002
7003
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7004
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7005
7006
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7007
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7008
7009
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7010
matcher.
7011
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7012
7013
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7014
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7015
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7016
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7017
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7018
7019
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7020
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7021
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7022
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7023
7024
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
7025
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7026
7027
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7028
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
7029
7030
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
7031

IMPROVEMENTS:
3389
3390
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3391
tree from a branch.
3392
(Daniel Silverstone)
3393
3394
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3395
operations are substantially faster.
3396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3397
3398
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3399
tree from some other url. For example:
3400
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3401
(Daniel Silverstone)
3402
3403
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3404
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3405
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3406
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3407
3408
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3409
(Andrew Bennetts)
3410
3411
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3412
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3413
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3414
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3415
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3416
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3417
3418
INTERNALS:
3419
3420
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3421
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3422
(Martin Pool)
3423
3424
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3425
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3426
(John Arbash Meinel)
3427
3428
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3429
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3430
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3431
(John Arbash Meinel)
3432
3433
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3434
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3435
3436
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3437
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3438
3439
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3440
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3441
Bennetts)
3442
3443
BUG FIXES:
3444
3445
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3446
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3447
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3448
3449
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3450
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3451
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3452
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3453
3454
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3455
3456
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3457
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3458
3459
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3460
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3461
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3463
3464
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3465
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3466
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3467
3468
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3469
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3470
them as full references rather than integers.
3471
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3472
3473
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3474
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3475
3476
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3477
3478
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3479
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3480
3481
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3482
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3483
3484
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3485
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3486
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3487
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3488
3489
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3490
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3491
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3492
3493
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3494
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3495
3496
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3497
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3498
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3499
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3500
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3501

IMPROVEMENTS:
3520
3521
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3522
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3523
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3524
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3525
3526
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3527
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3528
3529
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3530
3531
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3532
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3533
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3534
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3535
3536
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3537
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3538
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3539
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3540
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3541
3542
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3543
3544
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3545
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3546
3547
INTERNALS:
3548
3549
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3550
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3551
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3552
3553
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3554
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3555
(John Arbash Meinel)
3556
3557
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3558
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3559
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3560
3561
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3562
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3563
(Aaron Bentley)
3564
3565
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3566
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3567
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3568
3569
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3570
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3571
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3572
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3573
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3574
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3575
3576
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3577
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3578
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3579
(Robert Collins)
3580
3581
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3582
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3583
3584
BUG FIXES:
3585
3586
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3587
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3588
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3589

* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3592
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3593
3594
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a

TESTING:
3623
3624
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3625
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3626
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3627
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)

************
7184
7185
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7186
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7187
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7188
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7189
7190
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7191
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7192
7193
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7194
7195
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7196
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7197
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7198
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7199
7200
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7201
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7202
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7203
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

7217
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7218
7219
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7220
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7221
(John Arbash Meinel)
7222
7223
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7224
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7225
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7226
7227
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7228
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7229
(Aaron Bentley)
7230
7231
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7232
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7233
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7234
7235
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7236
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7237
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7238
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7239
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7240
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7241
7242
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7243
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7244
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7245
(Robert Collins)
7246

IMPROVEMENTS:
3652
3653
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3654
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3655
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3656
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3657
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3658
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3659
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3660
3661
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3662
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3663
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3664
3665
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3666
3667
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3668
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3669
3670
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3671
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3672
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3673
(Robert Collins)
3674
3675
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3676
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3677
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3678
(John Arbash Meinel)
3679
3680
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3681
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3682
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3683
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3684
Pool)
3685
3686
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3687
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3688
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information

BUG FIXES:
3692
3693

3695
3696
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3697
3698
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3699
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3700
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)

3702
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3703
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)

* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3706
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3707

3713
3714

3715
3716
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3717
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3718
3719
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3720
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3721
3722
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3723
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3724
3725
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3726
(John Arbash Meinel)
3727
3728
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes

some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3730
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3731
3732
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3733
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3734
3735
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3736
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3737
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3738
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3739
3740
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3741
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3742
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)

* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3754
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3755
(John Arbash Meinel)
3756
3757
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3758
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3759
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3760
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3761
3762
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3763
(Andrew Bennetts)
3764
3765
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3766
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3767
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3768
3769
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3770
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3771
3772
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3773
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3774
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3775
3776
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3777
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3778
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3779
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3780
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3781
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3782
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3783
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3784
caller to repeat their request.
3785
(John Arbash Meinel)
3786
3787
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3788
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3789
3790
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3791
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3792
3793
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3794
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3795
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3796
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3797
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3798
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3799
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3800
3801
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3802
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3803
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3804
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3805
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3806
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3807
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3808
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3809
(Robert Collins)
3810
3811
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3812
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3813
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3814
3815
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3816
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3817
3818
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3819
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3820
3821
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3822
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3823
3824
TESTING:
3825
3826
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3827
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3828
3829
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3830
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3831
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3832
3833
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3834
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3835
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

7382
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
7383
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
7384
7385
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
7386
7387
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
7388
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
7389
7390
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
7391
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
7392
7393
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
7394
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
7395
7396
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
7397
(John Arbash Meinel)
7398
7399
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
7400
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
7401
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
7402
7403
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
7404
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7405
7406
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
7407
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
7408
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
7409
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
7410
7411
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
7412
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
7413
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
7414
7415
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
7416
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)

Internals
7424
*********
7425
7426
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
7427
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
7428
(John Arbash Meinel)
7429
7430
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
7431
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
7432
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
7433
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7434
7435
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7436
(Andrew Bennetts)
7437
7438
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7439
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7440
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7441
7442
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7443
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7444
7445
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7446
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7447
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7448
7449
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7450
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7451
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7452
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7453
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7454
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7455
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7456
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7457
caller to repeat their request.
7458
(John Arbash Meinel)
7459
7460
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7461
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7462
7463
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7464
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7465
7466
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7467
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7468
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7469
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7470
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7471
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7472
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7473
7474
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7475
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7476
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7477
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7478
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7479
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7480
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7481
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7482
(Robert Collins)
7483
7484
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7485
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7486
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7487
7488
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7489
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7490
7491
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7492
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7493
7494
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
7495
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7496

Testing
7498
*******
7499
7500
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7501
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7502
7503
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7504
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7505
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7506
7507
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
7508
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
7509
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

IMPROVEMENTS:
3841
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3842
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3843
3844
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3845
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3846
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3847
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3848
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3849
3850
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3851
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3852
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3853
3854
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3855
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3856
3857
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3858
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3859
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3860
3861
BUG FIXES:
3862
3863
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3864
3865
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3866

3868
3869
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)

3871
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3872
3873
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3874
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3875
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3876
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3877
3878
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3879
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3880
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3881
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3882
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3883
3884
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3885
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3886
3887
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3888
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3889
3890
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3891
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3892
3893
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3894
in handling of revision properties.
3895
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3896
3897
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3898
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3899
3900
INTERNALS:
3901
3902
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3903
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3904
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3905
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3906
(John Arbash Meinel)
3907
3908
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3909
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3910
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

3913
---------------------
3914
3915
SURPRISES:
3916
3917
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3918
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3919
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3920
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3921
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3922
a more conservative list than the old default.
3923
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3924
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3925
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3926
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3927
3928
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3929
to more locations than just branch locations.
3930
(Aaron Bentley)
3931
3932
IMPROVEMENTS:
3933
3934
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3935
revno:N:branch. For example,
3936
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3937
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3938
3939
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3940
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3941
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3942
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3943
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3944
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3945
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3946
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3947
#42517, #42514)
3948
3949
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3950
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3951
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3952
(Malone #3507)
3953
3954
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3955
(Alexander Belchenko)
3956
3957
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3958
3959
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3960
(Robert Collins).
3961
3962
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3963
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3964
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3965
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3966
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3967
(John Arbash Meinel)
3968
3969
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3970
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3971
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3972
grained analysis of performance.
3973
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3974
3975
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3976
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3977
3978
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3979
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3980
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3981
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3982
file. (Robert Collins).
3983
3984
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3985
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3986
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3987
3988
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3989
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3990
Matthieu Moy)
3991
3992
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3993
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3994
3995
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3996
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3997
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3998
the same way you would apply another branch.
3999
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4000
4001
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4002
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4003
4004
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4005
(Michael Ellerman)
4006
4007
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4008
(Aaron Bentley)
4009
4010
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4011
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4012
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4013
4014
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4015
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4016
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4017
4018
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4019
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4020
4021
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4022
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4023
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4024
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4025
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4026
4027
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4028
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4029
4030
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4031
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4032
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4033
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4034
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4035
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4036
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4037
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4038
4039
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4040
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4041
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4042
4043
BUG FIXES:
4044
4045
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4046
tests not to run.
4047
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4048
4049
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4050
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)

* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4053
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4054
4055
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4056
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4057
4058
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4059
4060
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4061
(John Arbash Meinel)
4062
4063
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4064
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4065
4066
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4067
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4068
and y.
4069
4070
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4071
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4072
4073
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4074
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4075
4076
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4077
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4078
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4079
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4080
4081
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4082
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4083
4084
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4085
4086
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4087
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4088
4089
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4090
4091
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4092
4093
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4094
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4095
4096
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4097
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4098
4099
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4100
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4101
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4102
4103
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4104
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4105
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4106
4107
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4108
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4109
4110
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4111
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4112
4113
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4114
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4115
4116
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4117
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4118
4119
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4120
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4121
4122
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4123
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4124
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4125
4126
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4127
4128
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4129
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4130
4131
INTERNALS:
4132
4133
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4134
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4135
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4136
4137
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4138
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4139
4140
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4141
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4142
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4143
4144
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4145
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4146
4147
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4148
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4149
(Martin Pool)
4150
4151
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4152
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4153
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4154
4155
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4156
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4157
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4158
4159
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4160
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4161
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4162
4163
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4164
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4165
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4166
4167
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4168
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4169
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4170
4171
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4172
instead. (Robert Collins)
4173
4174
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

Surprises
7593
*********
7594
7595
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7596
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7597
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7598
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7599
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7600
a more conservative list than the old default.
7601
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7602
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7603
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7604
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7605
7606
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7607
to more locations than just branch locations.
7608
(Aaron Bentley)
7609
7610
Improvements
7611
************
7612
7613
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7614
revno:N:branch. For example,
7615
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7616
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7617
7618
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7619
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7620
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7621
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7622
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7623
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7624
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7625
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7626
#42517, #42514)
7627
7628
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7629
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7630
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7631
(Malone #3507)
7632
7633
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7634
(Alexander Belchenko)
7635
7636
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7637
7638
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7639
(Robert Collins).
7640
7641
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7642
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7643
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7644
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7645
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7646
(John Arbash Meinel)
7647
7648
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7649
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7650
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7651
grained analysis of performance.
7652
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7653
7654
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7655
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7656
7657
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7658
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7659
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7660
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7661
file. (Robert Collins).
7662
7663
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7664
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7665
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7666
7667
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7668
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7669
Matthieu Moy)
7670
7671
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7672
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7673
7674
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7675
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7676
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7677
the same way you would apply another branch.
7678
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7679
7680
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7681
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7682
7683
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7684
(Michael Ellerman)
7685
7686
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7687
(Aaron Bentley)
7688
7689
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7690
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7691
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7692
7693
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7694
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7695
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7696
7697
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7698
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7699
7700
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7701
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7702
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7703
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7704
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7705
7706
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7707
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7708
7709
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7710
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7711
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7712
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7713
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7714
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7715
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7716
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7717
7718
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7719
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7720
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7721
7722
Bug Fixes
7723
*********
7724
7725
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
7726
tests not to run.
7727
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
7728
7729
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7730
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7731
7732
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7733
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7734
7735
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7736
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7737
7738
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
7739
7740
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7741
(John Arbash Meinel)
7742
7743
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7744
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7745
7746
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7747
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7748
and y.
7749
7750
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7751
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7752
7753
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7754
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7755
7756
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7757
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named

'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7759

7763
7764
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
7765
7766
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
7767
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
7768
7769
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
7770
7771
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
7772
7773
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
7774
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
7775
7776
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7777
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7778
7779
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7780
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7781

working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames

7794
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)

the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7801
7802

Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7804
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7805
7806
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4232
-------------------
4233
4234
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4235
4236
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4237
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4238
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4239
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4240
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4241
will keep the same format.
4242
4243
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4244
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4245
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4246
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4247
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4248
4249
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4250
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4251
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4252
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4253
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4254
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4255
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4256
4257
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4258
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4259
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4260
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4261
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4262
4263
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4264
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4265
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4266
arrangement.
4267
4268
4269
IMPROVEMENTS:
4270
4271
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4272
convention. Paths now take the form::
4273
4274
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4275
or
4276
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4277
4278
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4279
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4280
4281
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4282
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4283
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4284
4285
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4286
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4287
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4288
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4289
4290
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4291
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4292
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4293
4294
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4295
4296
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4297
4298
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4299
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4300
commits::
4301
4302
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4303
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4304
| xargs bzr re-sign
4305
4306
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4307
4308
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4309
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4310
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4311
(Robert Collins)
4312
4313
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4314
4315
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4316
4317
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4318
'.moved'.
4319
4320
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4321
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4322
4323
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4324
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4325
Daniel Silverstone)
4326
4327
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4328
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4329
Martin Pool)
4330
4331
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4332
4333
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4334
4335
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4336
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4337
4338
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4339
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4340
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4341
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4342
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4343
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4344
4345
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4346
4347
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4348
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4349
(Robert Collins)
4350
4351
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4352
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4353
4354
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4355
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4356
4357
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4358
4359
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4360
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4361
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4362
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4363
specification by Martin Pool.
4364
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4365
4366
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4367
Belchenko)
4368
4369
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4370
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4371
4372
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4373
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4374
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4375
4376
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4377
4378
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4379
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4380
(Robert Collins)
4381
4382
CHANGES:
4383
4384
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4385
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4386
4387
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4388
4389
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4390
4391
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4392
(Olaf Conradi)
4393
4394
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4395
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4396
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4397
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4398
4399
INTERNALS:
4400
4401
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4402
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4403
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4404
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4405
4406
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4407
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4408
tried. (Martin Pool)
4409
4410
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4411
(Martin Pool)
4412
4413
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4414
4415
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4416
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4417
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4418
4419
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4420
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4421
4422
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4423
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4424
paths. (Robert Collins)
4425
4426
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4427
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4428
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4429
4430
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4431
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4432
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4433
4434
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4435
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4436
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4437
4438
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4439
(Olaf Conradi)
4440
4441
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4442
(Olaf Conradi)
4443
4444
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4445
4446
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4447
4448
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4449
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4450
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4451
(Robert Collins)
4452
4453
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4454
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4455
4456
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4457
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4458
check. (Robert Collins)
4459
4460
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4461
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4462
4463
TESTING:
4464
4465
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4466
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4467
4468
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4469
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4470
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4471
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4472
4473
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4474
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4475
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4476
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4477
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4478
4479
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4480
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4481
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4482
4483
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4484
4485
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4486
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8070
(Robert Collins)

Changes
8073
*******
8074
8075
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8076
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8077
8078
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8079
8080
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8081
8082
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8083
(Olaf Conradi)
8084
8085
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8086
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8087
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8088
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8089

Internals
8091
*********
8092
8093
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8094
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8095
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8096
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8097
8098
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8099
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8100
tried. (Martin Pool)
8101
8102
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8103
(Martin Pool)
8104
8105
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8106
8107
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8108
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8109
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8110
8111
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8112
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8113
8114
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8115
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8116
paths. (Robert Collins)
8117
8118
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8119
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8120
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8121
8122
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8123
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8124
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8125
8126
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8127
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8128
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8129
8130
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8131
(Olaf Conradi)
8132
8133
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8134
(Olaf Conradi)
8135
8136
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8137
8138
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8139
8140
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8141
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8142
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8143
(Robert Collins)
8144
8145
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8146
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8147
8148
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8149
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8150
check. (Robert Collins)
8151
8152
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8153
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8154
8155
Testing
8156
*******
8157
8158
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8159
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8160
8161
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8162
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8163
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8164
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8165
8166
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8167
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8168
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8169
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8170
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8171
8172
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8173
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8174
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8175
8176
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8177
8178
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8179
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

4489
------------------
4490
4491
CHANGES:
4492
4493
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4494
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4495
4496
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4497
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4498
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4499
(Johan Rydberg)
4500
4501
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4502
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4503
4504
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4505
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4506
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4507
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4508
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4509
4510
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4511
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4512
used. (Robert Collins)
4513
4514
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4515
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4516
(James Henstridge)
4517
4518
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4519
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4520
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4521
4522
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4523
ignore list.
4524
4525
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4526
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4527
4528
IMPROVEMENTS:
4529
4530
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4531
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4532
4533
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4534
4535
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4536
4537
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4538
tree. (Robert Collins)
4539
4540
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4541
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4542
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4543
(Robert Collins)
4544
4545
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4546
that they be kept.
4547
4548
* Tweaks to short log printing
4549
4550
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4551
(Aaron Bentley)
4552
4553
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4554
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4555
4556
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4557
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4558
4559
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4560
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4561
4562
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4563
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4564
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4565
4566
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4567
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4568
4569
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4570
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4571
requests.
4572
4573
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4574
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4575
4576
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4577
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4578
4579
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4580
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4581
4582
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4583
(Denys Duchier)
4584
4585
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4586
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4587
4588
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4589
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4590
4591
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4592
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4593
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4594
4595
BUG FIXES:
4596
4597
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4598
4599
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4600
4601
* Error when run with -OO
4602
4603
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4604
(Martin Pool)
4605
4606
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4607
4608
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4609
4610
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4611
ignored by diff and status
4612
4613
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4614
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4615
4616
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4617
4618
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4619
4620
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4621
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4622
4623
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4624
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4625
4626
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4627
(Harald Meland)
4628
4629
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4630
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4631
4632
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4633
4634
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4635
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4636
4637
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4638
(Martin Pool)
4639
4640
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4641
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4642
4643
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4644
4645
TESTING:
4646
4647
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4648
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4649
4650
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4651
4652
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4653
4654
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4655
4656
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4657
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4658
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4659
4660
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4661
4662
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4663
(John Arbash Meinel)
4664
4665
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4666
4667
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4668
If adding a new test script please add that to
4669
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4670
4671
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4672
imported. (Martin Pool)
4673
4674
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4675
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4676
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4677
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4678
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4679
(Robert Collins)
4680
4681
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4682
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4683
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4684
4685
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4686
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4687
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4688
4689
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4690
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4691
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4692
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4693
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4694
(Robert Collins).
4695
4696
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4697
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4698
(Robert Collins).
4699
4700
INTERNALS:
4701
4702
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4703
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4704
4705
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4706
function. (Robert Collins)
4707
4708
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4709
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4710
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4711
4712
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4713
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4714
(Robert Collins)
4715
4716
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4717
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4718
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4719
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4720
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4721
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4722
version. (Robert Collins)
4723
4724
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4725
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4726
4727
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4728
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4729
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4730
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4731
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4732
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4733
4734
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4735
(Robert Collins)
4736
4737
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4738
4739
add()
4740
commit()
4741
move()
4742
rename_one()
4743
unknowns()
4744
4745
(Robert Collins)
4746
4747
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4748
4749
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4750
4751
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4752
Pool)
4753
4754
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4755
query method. (Robert Collins)
4756
4757
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4758
(Denys Duchier)
4759
4760
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4761
(Michael Ellerman)
4762
4763
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4764
(Michael Ellerman)
4765
4766
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4767
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4768
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4769
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4770
4771
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4772
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4773
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4774
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4775
4776
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4777
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

8190
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new

8265
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8266
requests.
8267
8268
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8269
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8270
8271
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8272
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8273
8274
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8275
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8276
8277
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8278
(Denys Duchier)
8279
8280
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8281
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8282
8283
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8284
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8285
8286
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8287
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
8288

* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
8326
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8327
8328
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
8329
8330

Testing
8342
*******
8343
8344
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
8345
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
8346
8347
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8348
8349
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8350
8351
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
8352
8353
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
8354
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
8355

8356
8357
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8358
8359
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
8360
(John Arbash Meinel)
8361
8362
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
8363
8364
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
8365
If adding a new test script please add that to
8366
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
8367
8368
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8369
imported. (Martin Pool)
8370
8371
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8372
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8373
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8374
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8375
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8376
(Robert Collins)
8377
8378
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8379
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8380
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
8381
8382
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8383
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8384
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8385
8386
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8387
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8388
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
8389
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
8390
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
8391
(Robert Collins).
8392
8393
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
8394
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
8395
(Robert Collins).

Internals
8398
*********
8399
8400
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
8401
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
8402
8403
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
8404
function. (Robert Collins)
8405
8406
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
8407
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
8408
if needed). (Robert Collins)
8409
8410
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
8411
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
8412
(Robert Collins)
8413
8414
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
8415
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
8416
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
8417
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
8418
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
8419
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
8420
version. (Robert Collins)
8421
8422
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
8423
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
8424
8425
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
8426
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
8427
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
8428
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
8429
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
8430
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
8431
8432
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
8433
(Robert Collins)
8434
8435
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
8436
8437
add()
8438
commit()
8439
move()
8440
rename_one()
8441
unknowns()
8442
8443
(Robert Collins)
8444
8445
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
8446
8447
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
8448
8449
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
8450
Pool)
8451
8452
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
8453
query method. (Robert Collins)
8454
8455
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
8456
(Denys Duchier)
8457
8458
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
8459
(Michael Ellerman)
8460
8461
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
8462
(Michael Ellerman)
8463
8464
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8465
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8466
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8467
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
8468
8469
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
8470
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
8471
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
8472
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
8473
8474
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
8475
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

IMPROVEMENTS:
4783
4784
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4785
(John A Meinel)
4786
4787
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4788
conflicts.
4789
(Aaron Bentley)
4790
4791
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4792
a separator, not ':'.
4793
(Aaron Bentley)
4794
4795
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4796
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4797
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4798
4799
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4800
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4801
(Robert Collins)
4802
4803
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4804
has been added that suppresses all output.
4805
4806
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4807
Adams.
4808
4809
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4810
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4811
4812
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4813
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4814
4815
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4816
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4817
4818
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4819
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4820
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4821
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4822
4823
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4824
4825
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4826
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4827
4828
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4829
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4830
4831
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4832
output directory, if one was supplied.
4833
4834
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4835
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4836
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4837
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4838
4839
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4840
4841
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4842
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4843
4844
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4845
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4846
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4847
4848
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4849
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4850
4851
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4852
(Aaron Bentley)
4853
4854
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4855
4856
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4857
4858
TESTING:
4859
4860
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4861
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4862
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4863
4864
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4865
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4866
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4867
4868
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4869
is given. (Martin Pool)
4870
4871
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4872
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4873
file. (Robert Collins)
4874
4875
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4876
(Martin Pool)
4877
4878
INTERNALS:
4879
4880
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4881
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4882
representation. (Martin Pool).
4883
4884
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4885
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4886
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4887
4888
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4889
(Robert Collins)
4890
4891
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4892
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4893
Magnus Therning.
4894
4895
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4896
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4897
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4898
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4899
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4900
4901
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4902
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4903
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4904
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4905
python path. (Robert Collins)
4906
4907
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4908
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4909
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4910
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4911
4912
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4913
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4914
4915
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4916
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4917
(Robert Collins)
4918
4919
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4920
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4921
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4922
4923
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4924
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4925
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4926
4927
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4928
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4929
4930
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4931
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4932
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4933
(Robert Collins)
4934
4935
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4936
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4937
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4938
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4939
(Robert Collins)
4940
4941
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4942
(Robert Collins)
4943
4944
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4945
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4946
(Robert Collins)
4947
4948
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4949
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4950
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4951
4952
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4953
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4954
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4955
4956
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4957
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4958
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4959
4960
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4961
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4962
4963
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4964
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4965
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4966
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4967
caller. (Robert Collins)
4968
4969
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4970
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4971
(Robert Collins).
4972
4973
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4974
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4975
(Aaron Bentley)
4976
4977
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4978
4979
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4980
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4981
4982
BUG FIXES:
4983
4984
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4985
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4986
4987
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4988
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8536
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8537
8538
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8539
8540
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8541
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8542
8543
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8544
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8545
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8546
8547
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8548
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
8549
8550
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work

8552

* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
8561
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
8562
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8563
8564
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8565
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8566
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8567
8568
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8569
is given. (Martin Pool)
8570
8571
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
8572
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
8573
file. (Robert Collins)
8574
8575

8580
8581
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8582
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8583
representation. (Martin Pool).
8584
8585
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8586
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8587
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8588
8589
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8590
(Robert Collins)
8591
8592
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8593
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8594
Magnus Therning.
8595
8596
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8597
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8598
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8599
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8600
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8601
8602
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8603
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8604
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8605
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8606
python path. (Robert Collins)
8607
8608
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8609
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8610
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8611
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8612
8613
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8614
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8615
8616
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8617
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8618
(Robert Collins)
8619
8620
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8621
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8622
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8623
8624
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8625
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8626
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8627
8628
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8629
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8630
8631
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8632
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8633
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8634
(Robert Collins)
8635
8636
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8637
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8638
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8639
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8640
(Robert Collins)
8641
8642
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8643
(Robert Collins)
8644
8645
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8646
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8647
(Robert Collins)
8648
8649
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8650
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8651
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8652
8653
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8654
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
8655
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8656
8657
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8658
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8659
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8660
8661
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8662
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8663
8664
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8665
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8666
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8667
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8668
caller. (Robert Collins)
8669
8670
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8671
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8672
(Robert Collins).
8673
8674
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8675
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8676
(Aaron Bentley)
8677
8678
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8679
8680
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8681
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

--------------------
5173
5174
IMPROVEMENTS:
5175
5176
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5177
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5178
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5179
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5180
Michael Ellerman.
5181
5182
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5183
(Nir Soffer)
5184
5185
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5186
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5187
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5188
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5189
for the operating system is still tried.
5190
5191
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5192
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5193
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5194
5195
5196
INTERNALS:
5197
5198
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5199
5200
BUG FIXES:
5201
5202
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5203

5205

read.

* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5274
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5275
5276
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5277
5278
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5279
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5280
5281
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5282
FOO.
5283
5284
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5285
5286
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5287
the Unix command.
5288
5289
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5290
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5291
5292
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5293
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5294
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)

CHANGES:
5303
5304
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5305
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5306
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5307
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5308
5309
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5310
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5311
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5312
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5313
standard plugins directory.
5314
5315
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5316
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5317
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5318
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5319
5320
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5321
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5322
5323
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5324
disk.
5325
5326
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5327
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5328
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5329
5330
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5331
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5332
5333
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5334
line options must come before the command name because they
5335
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5336
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5337
it.
5338
5339
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5340
5341
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5342
is available with ``--short``.
5343
5344
5345
BUG FIXES:

status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5361
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5362
5363
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5364
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5365
with the ``--forward`` option.
5366
5367

5371

* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5378
5379
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5380
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5381
5382
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5383

5397
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5398
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5399
5400
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5401

* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5404

5407

* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5410

* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5420
options through to an external GNU diff.
5421
5422
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5423
their contents.
5424
5425
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5426
from a branch.
5427
5428
5429
BUG FIXES:
5430
5431
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5432
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5433

* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5435
metacharacters.
5436
5437
5438
TESTING:
5439
5440
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5441
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5442
the tests.
5443
5444
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5445
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5446
5447
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5448
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5449
5450
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5451
under a different version.
5452
5453
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5454
5455
5456
INTERNAL:
5457
5458
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5459
5460
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5461
Scott James Remnant.
5462
5463
* Better help messages for many commands.
5464
5465
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5466
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5467
5468
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5469
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5470
5471
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5472
5473
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5474
5475
* New AtomicFile class.
5476
5477
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5478
5479
5480
PORTABILITY:
5481
5482
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5483
2.4 is now only recommended.

9121
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
9122
suggested by LarstiQ.
9123
9124
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
9125
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
9126
9127
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
9128
a filename.
9129
9130
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
9131
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
9132
9133
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
9134
haven't changed since the previous time.
9135
9136
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9137
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9138
9139
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9140
9141
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
9142
9143
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
9144
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
9145
9146
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
9147
options through to an external GNU diff.
9148
9149
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
9150
their contents.
9151
9152
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
9153
from a branch.
9154
9155
9156
Bug Fixes
9157
*********
9158
9159
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
9160
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9161
9162
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9163
metacharacters.
9164
9165
9166
Testing
9167
*******
9168
9169
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9170
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
9171
the tests.
9172
9173
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9174
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9175
9176
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9177
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9178
9179
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9180
under a different version.
9181
9182
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9183
9184
9185
Internal
9186
********
9187
9188
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
9189
9190
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
9191
Scott James Remnant.
9192
9193
* Better help messages for many commands.
9194
9195
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
9196
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
9197
9198
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
9199
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
9200
9201
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
9202
9203
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
9204
9205
* New AtomicFile class.
9206
9207
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
9208
9209
9210
Portability
9211
***********
9212
9213

5487
---------------------
5488
5489
ENHANCEMENTS:
5490
5491
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5492
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5493
5494
* More default ignore patterns.
5495
5496
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5497
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5498
5499

5500
5501

5506
5507
CHANGES:
5508
5509
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5510
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5511
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5512
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5513
there are DNS problems.
5514
5515
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5516
5517
5518
BUG FIXES:

5520
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5521
5522
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5523
5524
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5525
trailing newlines properly.
5526
5527
5528
INTERNAL:
5529
5530
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5531
Matt Brubeck.
5532
5533
* More tests in test.sh.
5534
5535
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5536
directory and delete it when done.
5537
5538
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5539
5540
5541
PORTABILITY:
5542
5543

5544
Bennetts.
5545
5546
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5547
from QuantumG.
