NEW FEATURES:
4
5
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
7
8
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
9
10
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
11
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
12
13
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
14
FOO.
15
16
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
17
18
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
19
the Unix command.
20
21
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
22
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)

Compatibility Breaks

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

(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)

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
30
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
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
60
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)

63
Bug Fixes
64
*********
65
66
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
67
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
68
69
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
70
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
71
72
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
73
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
74
75
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
76
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
77
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
78
79
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
80
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
81
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
82
(John Arbash Meinel)
83
84
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
85
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
86
87
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
88
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
89
90
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
91
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
92
93
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
94
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
95
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
96
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
97
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
98
99
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
100
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
101
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
102
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

API Changes
108
***********
109
110
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
111
112
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
113
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
114
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
115
116
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
117
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
118
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
119
120
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
121
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
122
123
Internals
124
*********
125
126
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
127
repositories. (Martin Pool)
128
129
Testing
130
*******
131
132
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
133
134
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
135
136
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)

:1.15: 2009-05-22
143
144
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
145
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
146
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
147
revisions introduce the exact same line.

Compatibility Breaks
155
********************
156
157
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
158
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
159
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
160
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
161
162
New Features
163
************
164
165
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
166
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
167
(Jelmer Vernooij)
168
169
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
170
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
171
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
172
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
173
174
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
175
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
176
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
177
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
178
179
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
180
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
181
(Jelmer Vernooij)
182
183
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
184
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
185
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
186
187
Improvements
188
************
189
190
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
191
server. (Jonathan Lange)
192
193
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
194
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
195
196
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
197
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
198
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
199
200
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
201
202
Bug Fixes
203
*********
204
205
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
206
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
207
208
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
209
210
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
211
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
212
213
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
214
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
215
216
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
217
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
218
219
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
220
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
221
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
222
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
223
224
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
226
227
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
228
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
229
230
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
231
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
232
233
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
234
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
235
236
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
237
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
238
239
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
240
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
241
242
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
243
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
244
245
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
246
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
247
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
248
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
249
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
250
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
251
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
252
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
253
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
254
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
255
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
256
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
257
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
258
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
259
260
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
261
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
262
(Robert Collins, #368921)
263
264
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
265
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)

*************
269
270
API Changes
271
***********
272
273
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
274
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
275
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
276
277
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
278
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
279
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
280
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
281
(Alexander Belchenko)
282
283
Internals
284
*********
285
286
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
287
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
288
encoding. (Robert Collins)
289
290
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
291
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
292
(Robert Collins)
293
294
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
295
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
296
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
297
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
298
configuration. (Robert Collins)
299
300
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
301
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
302
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
303
304
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
305
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
306
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
307
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
308
309
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
310
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
311
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
312
313
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
314
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
315
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
316
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
317
318
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
319
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
320
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
321
322
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
323
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
324
325
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
326
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
327
branches. (Robert Collins)
328
329
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
330
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
331
332
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
333
334
Testing
335
*******
336
337
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
338
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

390
391
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
392
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
393
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
394
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
395
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
396
397
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
398
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
399
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
400
401
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
402
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
403
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
404
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
405
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
406
407
New Features
408
************
409
410
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
411
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
412
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
413
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
414
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
415
(Ian Clatworthy)
416
417
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
418
(Aaron Bentley)
419
420
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
421
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
422
423
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
424
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
425
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
426
directory, not just the directory object itself.
427
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
428
429
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
430
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
431
432
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
433
(Aaron bentley)
434
435
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
436
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
437
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
438
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
439
(Ian Clatworthy)
440
441
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
442
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
443
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
444
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
445
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
446
447
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
448
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
449
(Ian Clatworthy)
450
451
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
452
(Aaron Bentley)
453
454
Improvements
455
************
456
457
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
458
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
459
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
460
461
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
462
the data when the target repository does not need topological
463
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
464
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
465
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
466
467
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
468
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
469
(Ian Clatworthy)
470
471
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
472
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
473
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
474
475
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
476
(Ian Clatworthy)
477
478
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
479
(Ian Clatworthy)
480
481
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
482
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
483
484
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
485
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
486
487
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
488
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
489
490
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
491
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
492
#294479)
493
494
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
495
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
496
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
497
498
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
499
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
500
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
501
(Ian Clatworthy)
502
503
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
504
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
505
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
506
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
507
508
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
509
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
510
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
511
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
512
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
513
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
514
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
515
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
516
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
517
518
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!

Bug Fixes
522
*********
523
524
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
525
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
526
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
527
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
528
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
529
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
530
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
531
532
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
533
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
534
535
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
536
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
537
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
538
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
539
540
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
541
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
542
543
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
544
545
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
546
#313028)
547
548
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
549
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
550
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
551
552
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
553
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
554
555
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
556
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
557
558
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
559
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
560
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
561
562
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
563
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
564
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
565
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
566
567
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
568
569
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
571
572
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
573
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
574
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
575
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
576
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
577
578
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
579
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
580
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
581
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
582
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
583
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
584
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
585
586
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
587
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
588
589
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
590
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
591
(Andrea Bolognani)
592
593
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
594
(James Westby, #341558)
595
596
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
597
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
598
599
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
600
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)

Documentation
603
*************
604
605
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
606
607
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)

API Changes
613
***********
614
615
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
616
(Martin Pool)
617
618
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
619
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
620
(Robert Collins)
621
622
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
623
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
624
(Jelmer Vernooij)
625
626
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
627
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
628
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
629
630
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
631
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
632
Meinel, Robert Collins)
633
634
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
635
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
636
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
637
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
638
(Ian Clatworthy)
639
640
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
641
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
642
(Jean-Francois Roy)
643
644
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
645
(Martin Pool)
646
647
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
648
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
649
650
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
651
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
652
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
653
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
654
655
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
656
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
657
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
658
659
Testing
660
*******
661
662
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
663
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
664
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
665
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
666
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
667
668
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
670
671
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
672
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
673
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
674
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
675
(Vincent Ladeuil)
676
677
Internals
678
*********
679
680
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
681
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
682
683
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
684
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
685
686
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
687
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
688
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
689
690
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
691
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
692
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
693
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
694
695
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
696
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
697
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
698
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
699
700
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
701
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
702
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
703
704
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
705
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
706
dependency. (Robert Collins)
707
708
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
709
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
710
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
711
712
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
713
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
714
(Robert Collins)
715
716
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
717
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
718
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
719
720
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
721
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
722
723
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
724
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
725
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
726
727
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
728
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
729
(Jelmer Vernooij)
730
731
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
732
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
733
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
734
735
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
736
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
737
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
738
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
739
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
740
741
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
742
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
743
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
744
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
745
746
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
747
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
748
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
749
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
750
751
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
752
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
753
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
754
755
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
756
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
757
(Andrew Bennetts)
758
759
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
760
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
761
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
762
763
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
764
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
765
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
766
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
767
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
768
769
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
770
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
771
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
772
Vincent Ladeuil)
773
774
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
775
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
776
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
777
desired. (Robert Collins)
778
779
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
780
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
781
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
782
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
783
784
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
785
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
786
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
803
*****************************
804
805
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
806
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
807
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
808
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
809
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
810
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
811
appeared now.

* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
863
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
864
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
865
866
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
867
(Martin Pool)
868
869
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
870
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
871
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
872
(Ian Clatworthy)
873
874
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
875
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
876
877
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
878
(John Arbash Meinel)
879
880
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
881
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
882
883
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
884
885
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
886
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
887
(Jonathan Lange)
888
889
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().

Improvements
893
************
894
895
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
896
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
897
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
898
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
899
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
900
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
901
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
902
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
903
(Robert Collins)
904
905
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
906
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
907
908
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
909
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
910
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
911
912
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
913
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
914
915
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
916
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
917
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
918
(Ian Clatworthy)
919
920
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
921
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
922
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
923
924
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
925
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
926
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
927
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
928
929
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
930
(Jelmer Vernooij)
931
932
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
933
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
934
935
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
936
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
937
938
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
939
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
940
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
941
942
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
943
944
Bug Fixes
945
*********
946
947
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
948
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
949
950
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
951
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
952
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
953
954
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
955
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
957
958
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
959
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
960
961
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
962
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
963
Vernooij, #315048)
964
965
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
966
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
967
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
968
969
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
970
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
971
972
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
973
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
974
975
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
976
(James Westby, #174539)
977
978
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
979
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
980
981
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
982
error branching from old repositories.
983
(Martin Pool, #321695)
984
985
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
986
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
987
988
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
989
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
990
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
991
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
992
993
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
994
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
995
#334808)
996
997
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
998
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
999
1000
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1001
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1002
1003
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1004
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1005
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1006
1007
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1008
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1009
1010
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1011
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)

Documentation
1014
*************
1015
1016
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1017
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1018
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1019
(Ian Clatworthy)
1020
1021
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1022
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1023
1024
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
1028
***********
1029
1030
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1031
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1032
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1033
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1034
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1035
1036
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1037
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1038
1039
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1040
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1041
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1042
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1043
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1044
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1045
1046
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1047
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1048
1049
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1050
"author" argument being deprecated.
1051
1052
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1053
1054
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1055
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1056
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1057
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1058
1059
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1060
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1061
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1062
1063
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1064
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1065
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1066
1067
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1068
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1069
1070
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1071
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1072
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1073
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1074
1075
Internals
1076
*********
1077
1078
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1079
free of virtual file system methods.
1080
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1081
1082
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1083
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1084
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1085
1086
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1087
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1088
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1089
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1090
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1091
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1092
1093
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1094
1095
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1096
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1097
1098
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1099
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1100
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1101
stream the operation.
1102
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1103
1104
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1105
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1106
1107
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1108
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1109
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1110
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1111
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1112
1113
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1114
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1115
1116
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1117
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1118
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1119
1120
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1121
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1122
(Robert Collins)
1123
1124
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1125
(Robert Collins)
1126
1127
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1128
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1129
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1130
1131
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1132
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1133
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1134
1135
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1136
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1137
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1138
1139
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1140
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1141
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1142
1143
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1144
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1145
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1146
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1147
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1148
1149
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1150
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1151
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1152
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1153
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1154
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1155
1156
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1157
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1158
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1159
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1160
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1161
1162
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1163
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1164
1165
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1166
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1167
1168
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1169
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1170
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1171
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1172
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1173
1174
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1175
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

1186
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1187
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1188
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1189
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1190
by showing the rate of network IO.

1192
Changes from RC1 to Final
1193
*************************
1194
1195
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1196
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1197
1198
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1199
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1200
1201
Compatibility Breaks
1202
********************
1203
1204
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1205
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1206
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1207
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1208
1209
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1210
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1211
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1212
(Ian Clatworthy)
1213
1214
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1215
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1216
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1217
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1218
1219
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1220
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1221
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1222
(Ian Clatworthy)
1223
1224
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1225
1226
New Features
1227
************
1228
1229
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1230
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1231
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1232
(Marius Kruger)
1233
1234
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1235
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1236
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1237
1238
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1239
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1240
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1241
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1242
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1243
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1244
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1245
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1246
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1247
(Ian Clatworthy)

Improvements
1250
************
1251
1252
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1253
(Daniel Watkins)
1254
1255
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1256
(Marius Kruger)
1257
1258
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1259
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1260
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1261
1262
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1263
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1264
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1265
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1266
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1267
1268
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1269
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1270
1271
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1272
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1273
level for better precision.
1274
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1275
1276
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1277
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1278
1279
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1280
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1281
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1282
1283
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1284
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1285
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1286
(Andrew Bennetts)
1287
1288
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1289
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1290
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1291
1292
Bug Fixes
1293
*********
1294
1295
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1296
anymore.
1297
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1298
1299
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1300
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1301
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1302
1303
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1304
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1305
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1306
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1307
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1308
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1309
1310
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1311
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1312
1313
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1314
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1315
1316
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1317
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1318
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1319
1320
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1321
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1322
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1323
(Andrew Bennetts)
1324
1325
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1326
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1327
1328
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1329
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1330
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1331
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1332
1333
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1334
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1335
handled.
1336
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1337
1338
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)

* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1349
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1350
(Martin Pool)
1351
1352
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1353
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1354
1355
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1356
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1357
1358
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1359
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1360
1361
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1362
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1363
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1364
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1365
1366
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1367
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1368
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)

1371
*********
1372
1373
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1374
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1375
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1376
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1377
compile buffers, are such an example).
1378
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1379
1380
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1381
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1382
(Ian Clatworthy)
1383
1384
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1385
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1386
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1387
(Ian Clatworthy)
1388
1389
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1390
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)

1392
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log

1400
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1401
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1402
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1403
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1404
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1405
1406
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1407
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
1408
advice.
1409
1410
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
1411
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

Changes
1428
*******
1429
1430
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
1431
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1432
1433
New Features
1434
************
1435
1436
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
1437
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
1438
1439
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
1440
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
1441
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
1442
implement other plugins.
1443
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1444
1445
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
1446
(Aaron Bentley)
1447
1448
Improvements
1449
************
1450
1451
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
1452
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
1453
1454
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
1455
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1456
1457
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1458
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1459
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1460
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1461
(Mark Hammond)
1462
1463
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1464
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1465
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1466
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1467
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1468
1469
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1470
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1471
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1472
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1473
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1474
1475
Bug Fixes
1476
*********
1477
1478
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1479
control directory. (#139691)
1480
1481
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1482
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1483
1484
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1485
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1486
1487
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1488
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1489
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1490
1491
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1492
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1493
1494
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1495
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1496
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1497
1498
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1499

1501
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1502
(Jari Aalto)
1503
1504
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1505
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1506
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1507
1508
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1509
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1510
1511
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1512
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1513
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1514
1515
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1516
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1517
in the appropriate sections.
1518
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1519
1520
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1521
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1522
(John Arbash meinel)
1523
1524
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1526
1527
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1528
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1529
1530
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1531
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1532
1533
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1534
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1535
work better with how it splits its requests.
1536
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1537
1538
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1539
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1540
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1541
1542
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1543
(Aaron Bentley)
1544
1545
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1546
1547
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1549

Documentation
1554
*************
1555
1556
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1557
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1558
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1559
(Ian Clatworthy)
1560
1561
API Changes
1562
***********
1563
1564
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1565
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1566
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1567
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1568
1569
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1570
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1571
1572
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1573
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1574
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1575
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1576
1577
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1578
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1579
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1580
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1581
1582
Testing
1583
*******
1584
1585
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1586
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1587
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1588
1589
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1590
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1591
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1592
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1593
1594
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1595
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1596
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1597

Internals
1600
*********
1601
1602
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1603
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1604
(John Arbash Meinel)
1605
1606
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1607
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1608
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1609
(John Arbash Meinel)
1610
1611
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1612
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1613
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1614
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1615
1616
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1617
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1618
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1619
1620
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1621
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1622
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1623
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1624
1625
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1626
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1627
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1628
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1629

ENHANCEMENTS:

CHANGES:
31
32
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
33
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
34
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
35
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
36
37
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
38
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
39
40
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
41
disk.
42
43
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
44
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
45
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
46
47
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
48
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
49
50
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
51
line options must come before the command name because they
52
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
53
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
54
it.
55
56
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
57
58
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
59
is available with ``--short``.
60
61
62
BUG FIXES:
63
64
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
1631
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1632
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1633
1634
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1635
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1636
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1637
1638
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1639
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1640
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1641
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1642
1643
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1644
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1645
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1646
(John Arbash Meinel)
1647
1648
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1649
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1650
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1651
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1652
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1653
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1654
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1655
1656
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1657
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1665
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1666
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1667
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1668
implementation.
1669
1670
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
1671
1672
bug Fixes
1673
*********
1674
1675
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1676
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1677
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1678
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1679
1680
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1681
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1682
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1683
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1684
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

######################
1689
1690
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1691
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1692
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1693
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1694
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
1695
1696
New Features
1697
************
1698
1699
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1700
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1701
1702
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
1703
(Aaron Bentley)
1704
1705
Improvements
1706
************
1707
1708
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1709
history just to set the last revision info.
1710
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1711
1712
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1713
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1714
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1715
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1716
1717
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1718
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1719
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1720
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1721
(John Arbash Meinel)
1722
1723
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1724
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1725
1726
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1727
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1728
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1729
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1730
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1731
1732
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1733
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1734
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1735
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1736
1737
Bug Fixes
1738
*********
1739
1740
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1741
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1742
1743
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1744
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1745
1746
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1747
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1748
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1749
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1750
1751
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1752

1753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1754
1755
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1756
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1757
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1758
1759
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1760
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1761
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1762
1763

1764
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1765
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1766
1767
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1768
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1769
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1770
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1771
1772
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1773
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1774
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1775

1784
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1785
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1786
1787
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1788
have changed incompatibly.
1789
1790
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1791
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1792
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1793
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1794
don't need to change.

This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1812
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1813
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1814
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1815
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1816
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.

New Features
1835
************
1836
1837
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1838
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1839
1840
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1841
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1842
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1843
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1844
1845
Improvements
1846
************
1847
1848
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1849
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1850
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1851
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1852
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1853
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1854
1855
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1856
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1857
1858
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1859
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1860
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1861
1862
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1863
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1864
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1865
(Andrew Bennetts)
1866
1867
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1868
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1869
1870
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1871
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1872
1873
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1874
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1875
1876
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1877
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1878
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1879
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1880
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1881
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1882
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1883
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1884
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1885
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1886
1887
Bug Fixes
1888
*********
1889
1890
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1891
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1892
1893
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1894
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1895
1896
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1897
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1898
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1899
1900
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1901
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1902
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1903
1904
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1905
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1906
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1907
1908
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1909
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1910
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1911
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1912
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1913
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1914
1915
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1916
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1917
1918
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1919
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1920
1921
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1922
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1923
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1924
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1925
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1926
1927
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1928
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1929
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

1976
1977
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1978
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1979
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1980
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1981
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1982
1983
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1984
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1985
1986
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1987
server. (Marius Kruger)
1988
1989
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1990
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1991
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1992
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1993
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1994
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)

************
2007
2008
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2009
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2010
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2011
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2012
2013
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2014
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2015
(Daniel Watkins)
2016
2017
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2018
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.

* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2030
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2031
2032
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2033
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2034
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2035
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2036
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2037
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2038
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2039
operations. (Robert Collins)
2040
2041
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2042
2043
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2044
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing

detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)

2082
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2083
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2084
2085
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2086
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2087
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2088
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)

#####################
2237
2238
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
2239
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
2240
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
2241
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
2242
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
2243
it in a future repository format.

2248
2249
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
2250
(Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
2253
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
2254
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
2255
2256
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
2257
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
2258
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)

Features
2261
********
2262
2263
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
2264
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
2265
2266
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2267

Improvements
2269
************
2270
2271
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2272
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2273
(Martin Pool)
2274
2275
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2276
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2277
2278
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2279
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2280
(Marius Kruger)
2281
2282
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2283
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2284
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2285
(John Arbash Meinel)
2286
2287
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2288
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2289
2290
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2291
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2292
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2293
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2294
(John Arbash Meinel)
2295
2296
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2297
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2298
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2299
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2300
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2301
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2302
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2303
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2304
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2305
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2306
2307
Bug Fixes
2308
*********
2309
2310
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2311
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2312
2313
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2314
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2315
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2316
2317
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2318
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2319
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2320
2321
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2322
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2323
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2324
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2325
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2326
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2327
2328
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2329
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2330
2331
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2332
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2333
2334
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2335
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2336
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2337
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2338
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2339
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2340
2341
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2342
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2343
2344
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2345
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2346
2347
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2348
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2349
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2350
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2351
2352
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2353
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2354
2355
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2356
assuming the host name is ascii.
2357
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2358
2359
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
2360
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)

2370
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)

2372
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
2373
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
2374
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
2375
(Robert Collins)
2376
2377
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
2378
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2379
2380
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
2381
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2382

2387
*******
2388
2389
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
2390
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
2391
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2392
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
2393
2394
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
2395
still in use.
2396
(Mark Hammond)
2397
2398
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
2399
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
2400
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2401

2407
2408
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
2409
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
2410
(Robert Collins)
2411
2412
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
2413
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
2414
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
2415
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
2416
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2417
2418
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
2419
is unknown in both source and target.
2420
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
2421
2422
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
2423
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
2424
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
2425
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2426
2427
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
2428
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
2429
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
2430
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

2455
2456
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2457
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2458
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2459
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2460
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2461
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2462
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2463
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2464
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2465
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2466
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2467
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
2468
2469
Bug Fixes
2470
*********
2471
2472
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2473
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2474
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2475
start of the string (causing more copies).
2476
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2477
especially for projects with large files.
2478
(John Arbash Meinel)
2479
2480
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2481
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2482
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2483
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2484
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2485
2486
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2487
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2488
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2489
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2490
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
2498
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
2499
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
2500
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
2501
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
2502
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
2503
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be

better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle

This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
2560
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.

1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2698
(Robert Collins)
2699
2700
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2701
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2702
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2703
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2704
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2705
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.

* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2709
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2710
2711
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2712
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2713
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2714
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2715
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2716
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)

2720
2721
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2722
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2723
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2724
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2725
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2726
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2727
2728
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2729
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2730

This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2746
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2747
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2748
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2749
bug fixes.
2750
2751
Features
2752
********
2753
2754
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2755
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2756
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2757
2758
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2759
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2760
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2761
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2762
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2763
(Ian Clatworthy)
2764
2765
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2766
2767
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2768
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2769
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2770
(Robert Collins)
2771
2772
Improvements
2773
************
2774
2775
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2776
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2777
(Martin Pool)
2778
2779
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2780
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2781
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2782
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2783
2784
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2785
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2786
(Christophe Troestler)
2787
2788
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2789
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2790
2791
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2792
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2793
faster. The new request method name is
2794
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
2797
*********
2798
2799
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2800
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2801
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2802
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2803
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2804
2805
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2806
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2807
2808
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2809
requires a branch to be present.
2810
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2811
2812
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2813
loaded.
2814
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2815
2816
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2817
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2818
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2819
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2820
2821
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2822
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2823
2824
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2825
name contains an @.
2826
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2827
2828
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2829
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2830
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2831
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2832
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2833
2834
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2835
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2836
2837
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2838
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2839
2840
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2841
Cygwin Bazaar.
2842
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2843
2844
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
2845
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
2846

2862
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
2863
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
2864
2865
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2866
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2867
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2868
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
2869
2870
API Changes
2871
***********
2872
2873
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
2874
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
2875
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
2876
Repository docstring for more details.
2877
(Robert Collins)
2878
2879
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2880
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2881
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2882
2883
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
2884
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2885
(Daniel Watkins)
2886
2887
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2888
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2889
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
2890
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)

2894
2895
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
2896
(Alexander Belchenko)
2897
2898
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
2899
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
2900
containing a given location.
2901
(Daniel Watkins)
2902
2903
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
2904
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
2905
storage. (Robert Collins)
2906
2907
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2908
(Robert Collins)
2909
2910
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,

*********
2925
2926
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2927
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2928
reading from the repository.)
2929
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2930
2931
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2932
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)

(Andrew Bennetts)
2937
2938
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2939
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2940
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2941
2942
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2943
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2944
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2945
2946
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2947
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2948
2949
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2950
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2951
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

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

uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3005
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3006
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network

Notes When Upgrading
3012
********************
3013
3014
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3015
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3016
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3017
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3018
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3019
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3020
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

************
3038
3039
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3040
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3041
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3042
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3043
3044
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3045
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3046
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3047
3048
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3049
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3050
3051
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3052
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3053
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3054
3055
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3056
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3057
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3058
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3059
step closer to not using full revision history.

in use by another process.
3087
(Martin Pool)
3088
3089
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3090

Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3092

to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3170
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3171
3172
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3173
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3174
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3175
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3176
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3177
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3178
3179
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3180
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3181
(Martin Pool)
3182
3183
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3184
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3185
(Robert Collins)
3186
3187
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3188
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3189
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3190
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3191
3192
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3193
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3194
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3195
3196
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3197
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3198
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3199
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3200
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3201
(Martin Pool)
3202
3203
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3204
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3205
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3206
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3207
(Robert Collins)
3208
3209
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3210
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3211
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3212
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3213
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3214
3215
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

3254
3255
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3256
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3257
3258
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3259
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)

3266
3267
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3268
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3269
3270
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3271
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3272
3273
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3274
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3275
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3276
3277
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3278
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3279
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
3280
3281
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.

* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
3288
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
3289
3290
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
3291
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
3292
3293
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
3294
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3295
3296
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3297
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
3298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
3299
3300
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
3301
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
3302
3303
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3304
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3305
3306
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3307
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3308
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3309
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3310
3311
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
3312
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3313
(Martin Pool)
3314
3315
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3316
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
3317
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3318
3319
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3320
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3321
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3322
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3323
every revision each side had in common.
3324
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3325
3326
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
3327
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
3328
3329
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
3330
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
3331
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.

3340
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)

Testing
3350
*******
3351
3352
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
3353
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
3354
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
3355
3356
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
3357
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
3358
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
3359
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3360
3361
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
3362
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3363
3364
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
3365
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
3366
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
3367
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3368
3369
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
3370
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
3371
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
3372
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)

Internals
3375
*********
3376
3377
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
3378
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
3379
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
3380
3381
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
3382
3383
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
3384
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
3385
3386
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3387
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

API Changes
3393
***********
3394

locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
3397
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
3398
3399
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
3400
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
3401
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
3402
(Aaron Bentley)
3403

3405
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.

This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
3416
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
3417
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
3418
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
3419
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
3420
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features

*******
3461
3462
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
3463
3464
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
3465
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
3466
3467
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
3468
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
3469
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3470
3471
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3472
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3473
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3474
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3475
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3476
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
3477
Andrew Cowie)
3478
3479
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
3480
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3481
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
3482
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)

Features
3485
********
3486
3487
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3488
3489
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3490
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3491
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3492
3493
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3494
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3495
See the User Reference for signature details.
3496
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
3497
3498
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
3499
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
3500
3501
Improvements
3502
************
3503
3504
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3505
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3506
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3507
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3508
3509
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3510
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3511
3512
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3513
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3514
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3515
Wouter van Heyst)
3516
3517
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3518
(Chad Miller)
3519
3520
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3521
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3522
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3523
3524
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3525
(Aaron Bentley)
3526
3527
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3528
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3529
3530
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3531
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3532
3533
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3534
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3535
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3536
3537
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3538
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3539
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3540
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3541
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3542
3543
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3544
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3545
3546
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3547
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3548
3549
Bugfixes
3550
********
3551
3552
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3553
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3554
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3555
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3556
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3557
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3558
3559
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3560
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3561
3562
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3563
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3564
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
3565
3566
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
3567
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
3568
3569
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
3570
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
3571
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
3572
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3573
3574
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3575
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3576
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3577
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3578
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
3579
3580
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
3581
3582
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
3583
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
3584
3585
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
3586
3587
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
3588
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
3589
3590
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3608
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3609
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3610
3611
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3612
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3613
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3614
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3615
3616
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3617
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3618
release. (James Westby)
3619
3620
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3621

* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3624

3627
3628
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3629
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3630
3631
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3632
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3633
3634
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3635
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3636
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3637
3638
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3639
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3640
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3641
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3642
3643
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3644
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3645
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3646
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3647
3648
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3649
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3650
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3651
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3652
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3653
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3654
3655
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3656
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3657
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3658
3659
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3660
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3661
3662
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3663
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3664
(Robert Collins)
3665
3666
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3667
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3668
3669
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3670
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3671
3672
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3673
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3674
3675
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3676
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3677
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3678
3679
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3680
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3681
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3682
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3683
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3684
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)

3686
Testing
3687
*******
3688
3689
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3690
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3691
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3692
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3693
3694
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3695
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3696
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3697
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3698
implement this).
3699
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3700
3701
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3702
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3703
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3704
3705
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3706
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::

3709
3710
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3711
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3712
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)

(Martin Albisetti)
3721
3722
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3723
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3724
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3725
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3726
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.

3728
3729
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3730

3731
3732
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3733

3734
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3735

3737
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3738

3787
3788
Changes
3789
*******
3790
3791
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3792
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3793
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3794
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3795
(Robert Collins)
3796
3797
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3798
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3799
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3800
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3801
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3802
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3803
3804
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3805
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3806
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3807
(Alexander Belchenko)

3809
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)

************
3826
3827
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3828
3829
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3830
3831
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3832
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3833
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3834
3835
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3836
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3837
3838
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3839
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3840

* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3842
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3843
(Alexander Belchenko)
3844
3845
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3846
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3847
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3848
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3849
3850
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3851
(Daniel Watkins)
3852
3853
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3854
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3855
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3856
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3857
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

Notes When Upgrading
3979
********************
3980
3981
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3982
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3983
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3984
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3985
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.

3989
*******
3990
3991
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3992
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3993
3994
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3995
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3996
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3997
3998
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3999
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4000
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4001
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4002
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4003
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.

4008
4009
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4010
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4011
4012
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4013
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4014
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4015
(Robert Collins)
4016
4017
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4018
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4019
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4020
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4021
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4022
4023
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4024
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4025
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4026
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4027
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4028
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4029
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4030
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4036
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4037
4038
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4039
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4040
4041
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4042
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4043
4044
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4045
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4046
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4047
4048
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.

4072
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4073

4074
4075
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4076
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4077
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4078
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4079
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4080
unittest runner.
4081

* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4189
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1

Notes When Upgrading
4532
********************
4533
4534
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4535
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4536
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4537
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4538
4539
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4540
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4541
4542
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4543
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4544
4545
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4546
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4547
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4548
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4549
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4550
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4551
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4552
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4553
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4554
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4555
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4556
from any tree without problems.

* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
4597
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
4598
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
4599
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4600
4601
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4602
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
4603
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
4604
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)

4606
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
4607
(Robert Collins, #88319)

4609
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
4610
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)

4628
4629
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of

4631
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.

4753
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)

* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
4775

4776
4777
* The return value of
4778
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
4779
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
4780

* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
4784
(Robert Collins)
4785
4786

* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4821
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4822
4823
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4824
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4825
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4826
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4827
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4828
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4829
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4830
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4831
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4832
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4833
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4834
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

Features
4838
********
4839
4840
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4841
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4842
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4843
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4844
commands. (Robert Collins)
4845
4846
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4847
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4848
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4849
(Robert Collins)
4850
4851
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4852
4853
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4854
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4855
4856
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4857
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4858
(Aaron Bentley)
4859
4860
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4861
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4862
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)

Performance
4865
***********
4866
4867
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4868
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4869
4870
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4871
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4872
4873
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4874
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4875
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4876
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4877
4878
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4879
(Robert Collins)
4880
4881
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4882
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4883
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4884
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4885
4886
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4887
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4888
4889
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4890
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4891
4892
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4893
the contents. (Robert Collins)

* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4896
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)

4928
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4929
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4930
4931
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4932
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4933
4934
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4935
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4936
4937
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4938
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4939
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4940
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4941
4942
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4943
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4944
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4945
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4946
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4947
4948
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4949
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4950
paramiko.

4989
directory to detect leaking tests.
4990
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4991
4992
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4993
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4994
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4995
4996
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4997

constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5010
5011
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5012

5013
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5014
5015
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5016
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5017

5018
5019
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5020
appropriate. (Martin Pool)

* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5037
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5038
5039
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5040
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5041
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5042
5043
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer

inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5046

5047
5048
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5049
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5050
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the

5062
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5063
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5064
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5065
5066
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5067
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5068
(Robert Collins)
5069
5070
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5071
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5072
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5073
5074
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5075
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5076
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5077
5078
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5079
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5080
5081
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5082
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5083
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5084
5085
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5086
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5087
5088
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5089
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5090
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5091
5092
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5093
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5094
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5095
5096
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5097
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5098
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5099
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5100
5101
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5102
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5103
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5104
returned. (Robert Collins)
5105
5106
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5107
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5108
5109
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5110
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5111
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5112
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5113
(Robert Collins)
5114
5115
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5116

Testing
5119
*******
5120
5121
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5122
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5123
5124
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5125
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5126
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5127
makes this behavior available to other users.
5128
(Martin Pool)
5129
5130
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5131
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

Changes
5167
*******
5168
5169
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5170
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5171
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5172
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5173
(Martin Pool)
5174
5175
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5176
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5177
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5178
(Ian Clatworthy)
5179
5180
Features
5181
********
5182
5183
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5184
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5185
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5186
(Lukáš Lalinský)
5187
5188
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5189
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5190
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5191
5192
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5193
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5194
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5195
5196
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5197
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5198
5199
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5200
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5201
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5202
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5203
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5204
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5205
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5206
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5207
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5208
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5209
5210
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5211
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5212
5213
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5214
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5215
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5216

Bug Fixes
5218
*********
5219
5220
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5221
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5222
5223
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5224
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5225
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5226
5227
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5228
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5229
5230
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5231
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5232
5233
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5234
(Aaron Bentley)
5235
5236
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5237
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5238
5239
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5240
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5241
5242
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5243
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5244
5245
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5246
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5247
5248
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5249
5250
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5251
Watkins, #106726)
5252
5253
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5254
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5255
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5256
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5257
5258
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5259
5260
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5261
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5262
#133548)
5263
5264
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5265
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5266
5267
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5268
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5269
#116143)
5270
5271
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5272
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5273
5274
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5275
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5276
5277
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5278
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5279
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5280
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5281
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5282
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
5283
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
5284
5285
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5286
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5287
5288
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5289
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5290
5291
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5292
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5293
5294
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
5295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
5296
5297
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
5298
connections.
5299
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
5300
5301
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5302
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5303
5304
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5305
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5306
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
5307
5308
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5309
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
5313
************
5314
5315
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5316
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5317
5318
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5319
(Aaron Bentley)
5320
5321
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5322
(Aaron Bentley)
5323
5324
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5325
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5326
5327
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5328
5329
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
5330
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5331
5332
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5333
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5334
5335
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5336
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5337
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5338
space). (Robert Collins)
5339
5340
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5341
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5342
(Ian Clatworthy)
5343
5344
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5345
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5346
5347
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5348
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5349
5350
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5351
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5352
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5353
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5354
5355
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5356
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5357
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5358
(Lukáš Lalinský)
5359
5360
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5361
(Ian Clatworthy)
5362
5363
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5364
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
5365
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
5366
5367
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5368
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5369
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5370
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5371
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
5372
5373
API Breaks
5374
**********
5375
5376
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5377
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5378
5379
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5380
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5381
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5382
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5383
affected. (Robert Collins)
5384
5385
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5386
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5387
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5388
(Robert Collins)
5389
5390
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5391
previous release. (Martin Pool)

Testing
5394
*******
5395
5396
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
5397
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
5398
5399
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
5400
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5401
5402
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5403
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5404
5405
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
5406
(Aaron Bentley)
5407
5408
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
5409
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5410
5411
Internals
5412
*********
5413
5414
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
5415
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
5416
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
5417
its version information. (Robert Collins)
5418
5419
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
5420
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5421
5422
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
5423
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
5424
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
5425
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5426
5427
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
5428
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
5429
present. (Robert Collins)
5430
5431
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
5432
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
5433
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
5434
API. (Robert Collins)
5435
5436
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
5437
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
5438
(Robert Collins)
5439
5440
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
5441
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
5442
5443
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
5444
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
5445
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
5446
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
5447
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
5448
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
5449
5450
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
5451
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
5452
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
5453
5454
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
5455
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
5456
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5457
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5458
protocol.
5459
5460
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5461
(Aaron Bentley)
5462
5463
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5464
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5465
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5466
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5467
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5468
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5469
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5470
5471
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5472
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5473
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5474
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5475
5476
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5477
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5478
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5479
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5480
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5481
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5482
5483
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5484
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5485
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5486
5487
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5488
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

5521
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5522
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5523
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
5524
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
5525
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
5526
5527
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
5528
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
5529
5530
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
5531
anymore.
5532
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
5533
5534
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
5535
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
5536
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5537
5538
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
5539
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
5540
#111664)
5541
5542
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
5543
(Lukáš Lalinský)
5544
5545
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
5546
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
5547
5548
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5549
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
5550
5551
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
5552
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
5553
5554
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.

Improvements
5564
************
5565
5566
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
5567
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
5568
5569
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
5570
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
5571
5572
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5573
the repository (Robert Collins)
5574
5575
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5576
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5577
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5578
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5579
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
5580
5581
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
5582
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5583
5584
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5585
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5586
(John Arbash Meinel)
5587
5588
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5589
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5590
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5591
about 10%).
5592
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5593
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5594
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5595
(John Arbash Meinel)
5596
5597
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5598
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5599
(Robert Collins)
5600
5601
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5602
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
5603
5604
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5605
(Ian Clatworthy)
5606
5607
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5608
5609
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5610
5611
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5612
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5613
5614
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5615
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5616
Meinel)
5617
5618
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5619
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5620
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5621
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5622
5623
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5624
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5625
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5626
5627
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5628
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5629
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5630
5631
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5632
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5633
5634
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5635
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5636
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5637
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5638
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5639
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
5640
(Ian Clatworthy)
5641
5642
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
5643
(Alexander Belchenko)
5644
5645
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
5646
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
5647
5648
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
5649
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
5650
5651
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
5652
5653
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
5654
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)

Library API Breaks
5657
******************
5658
5659
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5660
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5661
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5662
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5663
5664
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5665
5666
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5667
(Robert Collins)
5668
5669
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5670
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5671
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5672
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5673
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5674
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5675
5676
Internals
5677
*********
5678
5679
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5680
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5681
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5682
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5683
5684
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5685
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5686
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5687
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5688
tests have been refactored too.
5689
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5690
5691
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5692
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5693
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5694
list, it will.
5695
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5696
5697
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5698
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5699
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5700
5701
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5702
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5703
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5704
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5705
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5706
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5707
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5708
5709
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5710
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5711
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5712
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5713
(John Arbash Meinel)
5714
5715
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5716
functionality for testing.
5717
5718
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5719
5720
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
5721
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5722
5723
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
5724
5725
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
5726
(Robert Collins)
5727
5728
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
5729
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5730
5731
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5732
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5733
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5734
5735
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5736
(Aaron Bentley)
5737
5738
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5739
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5740
5741
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5742
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5743
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5744
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5745
5746
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5747
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5748
5749
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5750
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5751
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5752
5753
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5754
(Marius Kruger)
5755
5756
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5757
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5758
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5759
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5760
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5761
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5762
5763
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5764
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5765
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5766
many files. (Robert Collins)
5767
5768
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5769
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5770
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5771
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
5772
5773
Testing
5774
*******
5775
5776
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5777
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5778
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5779
5780
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5781
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5782
5783
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5784
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5785
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

Improvements
5849
************
5850
5851
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
5852
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
5853
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
5854
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
5855
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
5856
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
5857
5858
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
5859
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
5860
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
5861
5862
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
5863
(Elliot Murphy)
5864
5865
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
5866
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
5867
5868
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
5869
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
5870
5871
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
5872
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
5873
5874
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
5875
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
5876
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
5877
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
5878
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
5879
5880
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
5881
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
5882
5883
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
5884
can be slow it is useful feedback).
5885
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
5886
5887
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
5888
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
5889
5890
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
5891
5892
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
5893
output. (Aaron Bentley)
5894

* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
5896
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.

5898
5899
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.

* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5983
5984
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5985
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5986
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
5987
5988
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5989
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5990
5991
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5992
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5993
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5994
5995
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5996
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5997
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5998
5999
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6000
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6001
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6002
6003
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6004
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,

* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6017

6018
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6019
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6020
6021
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6022
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6023
testing. (Robert Collins)
6024
6025
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6026
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6027
6028
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6029
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6030
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6031
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6032
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6033
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6034
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6035
6036
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6037
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6038
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6039
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6040
6041
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6042
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6043
6044
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6045

6066
********************
6067
6068
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6069
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6070
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6071
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6072
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6073
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6074
and unlock() like so::
6075
6076
work_tree.lock_read()
6077
try:
6078
kind = work_tree.kind(...)

* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6085
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6086
object.
6087
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6088
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6089
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6090

6092

6093
too. (Robert Collins)

6105
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6106
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6107
6108
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6109
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6110
understanding what changes have occurred
6111
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6112
6113
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6114
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6115
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6116
6117
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6118
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6119
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6120
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

6148
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6149
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)

6151
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6152
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6153
6154
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6155

6227
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6228
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option

pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6244
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable

revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6260
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)

6263
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,

* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using

6306
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)

6308
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6309
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6310
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6311
6312
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6313
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6314
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6315
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6316
6317
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6318
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6319
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6320
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6321
6322
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6323
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6324
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6325
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6326
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6327
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6328
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6329
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6330
header(s).

6338
6339
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6340
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6341
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6342
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6343
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6344
6345
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6346
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6347
6348
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6349
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6350
6351
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6352
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6353
6354
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6355
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6356
6357
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6358
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6359
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6360
(Robert Collins).
6361
6362
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6363
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6364
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6365
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6366
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6367
(Robert Collins)
6368
6369
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6370
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used

6374
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6375
(Vincent Ladeuil).
6376
6377
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6378
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6379
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6380
(Vincent Ladeuil).
6381
6382
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6383
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6384
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6385
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6386
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6387
6388
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6389
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6390
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6391
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6392
6393
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6394
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6395
6396
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6397
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6398
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6399
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6400
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6401
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)

6410
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6411
6412
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
6413
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
6414
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
6415
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
6416
(John Arbash Meinel)
6417
6418
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
6419
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
6420
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
6421
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
6422
useful. (Robert Collins)
6423

* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
6434
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
6435
6436
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
6437
properly and is no longer beneficial.
6438
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
6439
6440
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
6441
(Aaron Bentley)
6442
6443
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
6444
the file, and does it faster.
6445
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
6446
6447
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
6448
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
6449
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
6450
6451
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
6452
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
6453
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
6454
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
6455
6456
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
6457
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
6458
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
6459
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
6460
6461
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
6462
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
6463
6464
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
6465
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
6466
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
6467
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
6468
Arbash Meinel)
6469
6470
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
6471
6472
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
6473
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
6474
6475
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
6476
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
6477
6478
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
6479
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
6480
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
6481
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
6482
security hole.
6483

6490
6491
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
6492
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
6493
in running it. (Robert Collins)
6494
6495
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
6496
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
6497
6498
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6499
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6500
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6501
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6502
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6503
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6504
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
6505
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6506
6507
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
6508
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
6509
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6510
6511
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
6512
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
6513
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
6514
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
6515
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
6516
access.
6517
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6518
6519
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
6520
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
6521
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6522
6523
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
6524
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

6553
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
6554
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
6555
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
6556
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
6557
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
6558
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
6559
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
6560
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
6561
path. (vila)

6567
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
6568
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
6569
6570
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
6571
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.

6575

6576
(John Arbash Meinel)
6577
6578
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
6579
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
6580
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
6581
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and

``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)

Surprises
6674
*********
6675
6676
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6677
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6678
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6679
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6680
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6681
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6682
6683
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6684
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6685
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6686
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6687
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6688
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6689
development.
6690
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6691
6692
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6693
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6694
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6695
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6696
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6697
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6698
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6699
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

6704
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6705
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6706
6707
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6708
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6709
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6710
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6711
does exist.
6712
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6713
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6714
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6715
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6716
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)

6718
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.

6728
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``

6730
6731
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6732
(Aaron Bentley)
6733
6734
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6735
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6736
6737
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6738
directory. (Martin Pool)
6739
6740
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6741
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6742
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6743
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6744
6745
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6746
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6747
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6748
in docs/configuration.txt.
6749
6750
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6751
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6752
bind location.
6753
6754
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6755
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6756
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6757
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6758
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6759
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6760
6761
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6762
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6763
6764
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6765
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6766

* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.

6771
*********
6772
6773
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6774
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6775
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6776
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6777
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6778
(John Arbash Meinel)
6779
6780
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6781
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6782
(Aaron Bentley)
6783
6784
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6785
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6786
(John Arbash Meinel)
6787
6788
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6789
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6790
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6791
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6792
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6793
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6794
6795
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6796
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6797
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6798
6799
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6800
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6801
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6802
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6803
repository.
6804
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6805
6806
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6807
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6808
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6809
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6810
6811
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6812
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6813
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6814
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6815
6816
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6817
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6818
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6819
6820
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6821
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6822
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6823
6824
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6825
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6826
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6827
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6828
6829
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6830
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6831
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6832
6833
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6834
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6835
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6836
6837
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6838
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6839
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6840
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6841
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6842
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6843
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6844
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6845
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

6927
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
6928
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
6929
server, then you can write over the http connection.
6930

6931
6932
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6933
(Marius Kruger)
6934
6935
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6936
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
6937
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6938
6939
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
6940
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
6941
6942
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
6943
(Aaron Bentley)
6944
6945
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
6946
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6947
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6948
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6949
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6950
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6951
6952
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6953
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6954
should enable you to do::
6955
6956
[/home/user/project]
6957
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6958
push_location:policy = appendpath
6959
6960
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6961
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6962
(James Henstridge)
6963
6964
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags

6989

6992
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6993
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6994
6995
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6996
6997
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6998
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6999
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).

7015
7016
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7017
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7018
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7019
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than

(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7031
7032
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7033
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7034
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7035
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7036
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7037
7038
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7039
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7040
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7041
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)

``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``

(Daniel Silverstone)
7080
7081

* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
7090
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7091
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7092
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
7093
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes

7104
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7105
(John Arbash Meinel)
7106
7107
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7108
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7109
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.

* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7116
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7117
7118
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url

(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7128
7129
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7130
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7131
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7132
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)

* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7137

7138
7139
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7140
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7141
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7142
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7143
7144
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7145
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7146
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7147
7148
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7149
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7150
them as full references rather than integers.
7151
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7152
7153
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7154
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
7155
7156
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)

* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7162
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7163
7164
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7165
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7166
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7167
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7168
7169
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7170
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7171
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)

* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7174
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7175
7176
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7177
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7178
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can

7214
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7215
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have

little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7217
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)

* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7220
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to

7355
7356
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7357
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7358
7359
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7360
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7361
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7362
(Robert Collins)
7363
7364
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
7365
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
7366
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
7367
(John Arbash Meinel)
7368
7369
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
7370
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
7371
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
7372
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7373
Pool)
7374
7375
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
7376
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
7377
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information

Bug Fixes
7381
*********
7382
7383
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
7384
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
7385
7386
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
7387
7388
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
7389
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
7390
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
7391
7392
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
7393
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
7394
7395
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
7396
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
7397
7398
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
7399
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
7400
7401
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
7402
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
7403
7404
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
7405
7406
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
7407
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
7408
7409
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
7410
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
7411
7412
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
7413
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
7414
7415
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
7416
(John Arbash Meinel)
7417
7418
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
7419
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
7420
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
7421
7422
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
7423
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7424
7425
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
7426
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
7427
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
7428
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
7429
7430
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
7431
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
7432
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
7433
7434
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
7435
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)

Internals
7443
*********
7444
7445
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
7446
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
7447
(John Arbash Meinel)
7448
7449
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
7450
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
7451
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
7452
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7453
7454
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7455
(Andrew Bennetts)
7456
7457
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7458
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7459
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7460
7461
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7462
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7463
7464
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7465
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7466
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7467
7468
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7469
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7470
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7471
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7472
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7473
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7474
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7475
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7476
caller to repeat their request.
7477
(John Arbash Meinel)
7478
7479
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7480
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7481
7482
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7483
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7484
7485
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7486
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7487
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7488
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7489
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7490
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7491
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7492
7493
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7494
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7495
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7496
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7497
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7498
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7499
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7500
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7501
(Robert Collins)
7502
7503
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7504
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7505
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7506
7507
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7508
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7509
7510
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7511
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7512
7513
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
7514

7517
*******
7518
7519
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7520
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7521
7522
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7523
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7524
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7525
7526
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
7527
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
7528
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

************
7535
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
7536
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
7537
7538
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7539
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7540
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
7541
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
7542
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
7543
7544
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
7545
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
7546
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
7547
7548
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
7549
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
7550
7551
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
7552
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

Bug Fixes
7556
*********
7557
7558
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
7559
7560
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
7561
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
7562
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
7563
7564
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
7565
7566
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
7567
7568
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
7569
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
7570
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
7571
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
7572
7573
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
7574
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
7575
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
7576
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
7577
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
7578
7579
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
7580
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
7581
7582
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
7583
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
7584
7585
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
7586
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
7587
7588
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
7589
in handling of revision properties.
7590
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
7591
7592

7596
*********
7597
7598
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
7599
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
7600
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
7601
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
7602
(John Arbash Meinel)
7603

Surprises
7612
*********
7613
7614
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7615
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7616
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7617
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7618
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7619
a more conservative list than the old default.
7620
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7621
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7622
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7623
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7624
7625
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7626
to more locations than just branch locations.

Improvements
7630
************
7631
7632
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7633
revno:N:branch. For example,
7634
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7635
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7636
7637
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7638
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7639
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7640
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7641
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7642
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7643
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7644
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7645
#42517, #42514)
7646
7647
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7648
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7649
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7650
(Malone #3507)
7651
7652
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7653
(Alexander Belchenko)
7654
7655
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7656
7657
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7658
(Robert Collins).
7659
7660
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7661
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7662
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7663
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7664
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7665
(John Arbash Meinel)
7666
7667
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7668
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7669
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7670
grained analysis of performance.
7671
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7672
7673
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7674
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7675
7676
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7677
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7678
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7679
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7680
file. (Robert Collins).
7681
7682
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7683
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7684
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7685
7686
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7687
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7688
Matthieu Moy)
7689
7690
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7691
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7692
7693
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7694
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7695
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7696
the same way you would apply another branch.
7697
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7698
7699
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7700
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7701
7702
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7703
(Michael Ellerman)
7704
7705
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7706
(Aaron Bentley)
7707
7708
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7709
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7710
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7711
7712
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7713
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7714
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7715
7716
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7717
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7718
7719
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7720
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7721
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7722
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7723
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7724
7725
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7726
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7727
7728
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7729
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7730
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7731
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7732
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7733
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7734
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7735
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7736
7737
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7738
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7739
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

7748
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7749
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7750
7751
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7752
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)

7756
7757
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)

7759
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7760
(John Arbash Meinel)
7761
7762
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7763
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7764
7765
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7766
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7767
and y.
7768
7769
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7770
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7771
7772
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7773
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7774
7775
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7776
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7777
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7778
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
7779
7780

Notes When Upgrading
7942
********************
7943
7944
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7945
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7946
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7947
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7948
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7949
will keep the same format.
7950
7951
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7952
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7953
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7954
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7955
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7956
7957
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7958
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7959
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7960
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7961
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7962
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7963
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7964
7965
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7966
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7967
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7968
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7969
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7970
7971
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7972
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7973
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7974
arrangement.
7975
7976
7977
Improvements
7978
************
7979
7980
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7981
convention. Paths now take the form::
7982
7983
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7984
or
7985
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7986
7987
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7988
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7989
7990
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7991
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7992
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7993
7994
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7995
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7996
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7997
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7998
7999
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8000
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8001
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8002
8003
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8004
8005
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8006
8007
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8008
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8009
commits::
8010
8011
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8012
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8013
| xargs bzr re-sign
8014
8015
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8016
8017
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8018
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8019
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8020
(Robert Collins)
8021
8022
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8023
8024
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8025
8026
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8027
'.moved'.
8028
8029
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8030
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8031
8032
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8033
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8034
Daniel Silverstone)
8035
8036
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8037
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8038
Martin Pool)
8039
8040
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8041
8042
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8043
8044
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8045
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8046
8047
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8048
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8049
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8050
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8051
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8052
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8053
8054
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8055
8056
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8057
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8058
(Robert Collins)
8059
8060
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8061
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8062
8063
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8064
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8065
8066
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8067
8068
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8069
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8070
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8071
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8072
specification by Martin Pool.
8073
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8074
8075
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8076
Belchenko)
8077
8078
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8079
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8080
8081
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8082
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8083
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8084
8085
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8086
8087
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8088
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.

8097
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8098
8099
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8100
8101
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8102
(Olaf Conradi)
8103
8104
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8105
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8106
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8107
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)

8114
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8115
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8116
8117
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8118
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8119
tried. (Martin Pool)
8120
8121
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8122
(Martin Pool)
8123
8124
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8125
8126
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8127
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8128
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8129
8130
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8131
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8132
8133
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8134
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8135
paths. (Robert Collins)
8136
8137
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8138
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8139
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8140
8141
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8142
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8143
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8144
8145
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8146
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8147
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8148
8149
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8150

8151
8152
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8153
(Olaf Conradi)
8154
8155
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8156
8157
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8158
8159
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8160
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8161
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8162
(Robert Collins)
8163
8164
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8165
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8166
8167
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8168
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8169
check. (Robert Collins)
8170
8171
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8172
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)

8176
8177
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8178
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8179
8180
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8181
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8182
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8183
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8184
8185
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8186
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8187
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8188
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8189
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8190
8191
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8192
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8193
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8194
8195
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8196
8197
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8198

8216
8217
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8218

8219
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``

``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)

tree. (Robert Collins)
8253
8254
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8255
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8256
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8257
(Robert Collins)
8258
8259
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8260
that they be kept.
8261
8262
* Tweaks to short log printing
8263
8264
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.

* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8274

* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8277
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8278

8279
8280
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8281
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8282
8283
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8284
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8285

8286
8287
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8288
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8289
8290
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8291

* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8294

8296
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8297
(Denys Duchier)
8298

* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8300
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8301
8302
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8303
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8304
8305
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8306
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.

8386
8387
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8388
imported. (Martin Pool)
8389
8390
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8391
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8392
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8393
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8394
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8395
(Robert Collins)
8396
8397
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8398
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8399

8400
8401
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8402
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8403
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8404
8405
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8406
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8407
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
8408
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
8409
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.

* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
8420
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
8421
8422
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
8423

8424
8425
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
8426
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
8427
if needed). (Robert Collins)
8428
8429
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
8430
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
8431
(Robert Collins)
8432
8433
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
8434
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
8435
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
8436
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
8437
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
8438
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
8439
version. (Robert Collins)
8440
8441
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
8442
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
8443
8444
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
8445
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
8446
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
8447
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
8448
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
8449
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)

* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8484
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8485
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8486
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).

************
8501
8502
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
8503
(John A Meinel)
8504
8505
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
8506
conflicts.
8507
(Aaron Bentley)
8508
8509
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
8510
a separator, not ':'.
8511
(Aaron Bentley)
8512
8513
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
8514
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
8515
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8516
8517
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
8518
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
8519
(Robert Collins)
8520
8521
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
8522
has been added that suppresses all output.
8523
8524
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
8525
Adams.
8526
8527
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
8528
Goffredo Baroncelli.
8529
8530
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
8531
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
8532
8533
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8534
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8535
8536
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8537
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8538
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8539
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8540
8541
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8542
8543
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8544
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
8545
8546
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
8547
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
8548
8549
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8550
output directory, if one was supplied.
8551
8552
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8553
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
8554
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8555
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8556
8557
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8558
8559
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8560
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8561
8562
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8563
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8564
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8565
8566
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8567
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
8568
8569
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work

* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
8580
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
8581
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8582
8583
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8584
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8585
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8586
8587
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8588
is given. (Martin Pool)
8589
8590
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
8591
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
8592
file. (Robert Collins)
8593

* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8601
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8602
representation. (Martin Pool).
8603
8604
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8605
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8606
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8607
8608
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8609
(Robert Collins)
8610
8611
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8612
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8613
Magnus Therning.
8614
8615
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8616
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8617
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8618
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8619
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8620
8621
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8622
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8623
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8624
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8625
python path. (Robert Collins)
8626
8627
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8628
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8629
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8630
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8631
8632
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8633
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8634
8635
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8636
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8637
(Robert Collins)
8638
8639
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8640
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8641
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8642
8643
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8644
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8645
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8646
8647
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8648
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8649
8650
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8651
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8652
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8653
(Robert Collins)
8654
8655
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8656
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8657
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8658
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8659
(Robert Collins)
8660
8661
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8662
(Robert Collins)
8663
8664
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8665
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8666
(Robert Collins)
8667
8668
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8669
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8670
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8671
8672
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8673
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
8674
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8675
8676
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8677
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8678
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8679
8680
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8681
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8682
8683
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8684
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8685
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8686
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8687
caller. (Robert Collins)
8688
8689
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8690
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8691
(Robert Collins).
8692
8693
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8694
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8695
(Aaron Bentley)
8696
8697
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8698
8699
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8700
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
8745

8746
8747
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
8748
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
8749
8750
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
8751
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
8752
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
8753
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8754
8755
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
8756
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
8757
8758
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
8759
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
8760
8761
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
8762
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
8763
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8764
8765
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
8766
for files with only a change to their executable status.
8767
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
8768
Robert Collins
8769
8770
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
8771
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
8772
8773
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
8774
different partial views of history.
8775
8776
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
8777
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.

Improvements
8780
************
8781
8782
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
8783
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
8784
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8785
8786
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
8787
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
8788
'bzr upgrade'.
8789
8790
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
8791
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
8792
8793
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
8794
Niemeyer.
8795
8796
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
8797
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
8798
8799
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
8800
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
8801
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
8802
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8803
8804
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
8805
8806
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
8807
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
8808
Gustavo Niemeyer.
8809
8810
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
8811
Contributed by Robert Collins.
8812
8813

8814
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo

8820
8821
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
8822
for your viewing pleasure.
8823
8824
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
8825
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
8826
8827
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8828
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8829
handling of such circumstances.
8830
8831
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8832
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8833
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8834
8835
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8836
8837
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8838
we call them revisions not patches.
8839
8840
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8841
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8842
8843
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8844
giving the revision *of that file*.
8845
8846
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
8847
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
8848
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
8849

8852
8853
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after

8857
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

8907
8908
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
8909
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
8910
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
8911
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by

8916
8917
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
8918
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
8919
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
8920
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
8921
for the operating system is still tried.
8922
8923
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
8924

* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9048
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9049
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9050
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
9051
9052
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
9053
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9054
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9055
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9056
standard plugins directory.
9057
9058
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9059
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
9060
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
9061
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
9062
9063
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
9064
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
9065

John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
9071
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
9072
9073
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
9074
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
9075
9076
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
9077
line options must come before the command name because they
9078
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
9079

9080
it.

71
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an

73
74
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
75
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
76
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
77
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
78
79
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
80
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
81
with the ``--forward`` option.
82
83
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
84
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
85
field.

94
95
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar

142

151
metacharacters.

TESTING:
155
156
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
157
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
158
the tests.
159
160
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
161
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
162
163
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
164
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
165
166
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
167
under a different version.
168
169
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
170
171

Scott James Remnant.
178
179
* Better help messages for many commands.
180
181
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
182
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
183
184
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
185
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
186
187
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
188
189
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
190

* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
9166
options through to an external GNU diff.
9167
9168
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
9169
their contents.
9170
9171
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
9172
from a branch.

Bug Fixes
9176
*********
9177
9178
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
9179
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9180
9181
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9182
metacharacters.
9183
9184
9185
Testing
9186
*******
9187
9188
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9189
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
9190
the tests.
9191
9192
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9193
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9194
9195
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9196
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9197
9198
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9199
under a different version.
9200
9201
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9202
9203
9204
Internal
9205
********
9206
9207

9208
9209
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
9210
Scott James Remnant.
9211
9212
* Better help messages for many commands.
9213
9214
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
9215
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
9216
9217
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
9218
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
9219
9220
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
9221
9222
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
9223
9224
* New AtomicFile class.
9225
9226
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
9227
9228

Portability
9230
***********
9231
9232

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
203
204
ENHANCEMENTS:
205
206
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
207
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
208
209
* More default ignore patterns.
210
211
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
212
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
213
214
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
215
216
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
217
by Jason Diamon.
218
219
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
220
221
222
CHANGES:
223
224
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
225
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
226
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
227
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
228
there are DNS problems.
229
230
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
231
232
233
BUG FIXES:
234
235
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
236
237
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
238
239
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
240
trailing newlines properly.
241
242
243
INTERNAL:
244
245
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
246
Matt Brubeck.
247
248
* More tests in test.sh.
249
250
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
251
directory and delete it when done.
252
253
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
254
255
256
PORTABILITY:
257
258
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
259
Bennetts.
