:2.2.0b1: Not released yet
16
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
17
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
19
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
20
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
23
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
24
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
26
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
27
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
29
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
30
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
31
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
32
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
33
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
36
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
37
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
38
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
43
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
44
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
46
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
47
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
48
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
50
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
51
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
52
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
53
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
54
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
56
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
57
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
60
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
61
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
62
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
64
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
65
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
66
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
67
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
68
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
69
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
71
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
72
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
75
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
76
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
77
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
80
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
81
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
86
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
87
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
89
* Allow additional arguments to
90
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
92
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
93
(Michal Junák, #511987)
95
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
96
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
97
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
98
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
100
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
103
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
104
(Martin Pool, #331095)
106
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
107
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
109
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
110
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
112
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
113
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
114
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
116
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
117
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
118
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
119
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
120
(Robert Collins, #396261)
122
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
123
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
124
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
126
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
127
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
129
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
130
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
133
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
134
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
135
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
137
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
138
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
140
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
142
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
143
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
145
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
146
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
147
(Martin Pool, #528722)
149
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
150
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
151
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
153
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
156
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
157
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
158
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
159
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
161
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
163
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
164
deletion is involved.
165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
167
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
168
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
169
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
171
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
172
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
173
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
175
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
176
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
178
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
179
the debugger won't kill the session.
180
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
182
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
183
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
185
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
186
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
188
(Parth Malwankar, #376388)
190
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
191
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
196
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
197
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
200
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
201
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
203
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
204
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
206
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
207
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
208
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
209
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
211
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
212
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
213
to be done separately.
214
(Martin Pool, #507710)
216
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
217
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
220
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
221
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
223
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
226
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
232
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
233
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
235
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
236
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
237
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
239
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
240
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
241
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
242
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
245
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
246
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
248
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
249
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
251
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
252
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
258
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
259
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
260
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
262
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
265
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
266
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
269
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
270
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
271
dependency regressions.
274
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
275
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
277
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
278
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
279
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
280
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
281
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
282
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
289
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
290
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
295
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
296
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
297
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
298
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
300
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
301
(Martin Pool, #331095)
303
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
305
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
308
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
309
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
311
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
313
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
314
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
315
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
317
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
318
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
320
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
321
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
322
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
327
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
329
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
331
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
332
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
337
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
338
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
339
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
340
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
346
:Codename: Strasbourg
349
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
350
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
351
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
353
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
354
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
355
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
356
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
357
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
358
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
360
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
365
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
368
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
369
(Martin Pool, #513432)
371
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
372
when it encounters conflicts.
373
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
375
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
376
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
378
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
379
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
380
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
381
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
382
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
383
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
385
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
386
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
387
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
392
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
398
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
399
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
402
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
403
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
406
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
407
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
409
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
410
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
411
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
412
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
413
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
414
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
415
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
416
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
418
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
425
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
426
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
427
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
429
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
434
* The ``remove_index`` method of
435
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
436
argument. This argument was always ignored.
437
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
442
:Codename: after the bubbles
443
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
445
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
446
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
451
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
452
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
453
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
454
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
455
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
456
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
457
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
463
:Codename: the 'new' stable
464
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
466
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
467
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
468
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
469
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
470
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
471
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
472
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
473
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
474
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
480
* Add bug information to log output when available.
481
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
483
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
484
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
487
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
488
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
489
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
492
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
493
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
495
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
496
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
498
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
499
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
500
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
502
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
503
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
504
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
507
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
508
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
509
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
511
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
512
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
513
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
514
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
515
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
516
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
518
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
519
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
520
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
521
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
522
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
527
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
528
user-specified commit message editor.
529
(Martin Pool, #504842)
531
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
532
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
533
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
535
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
536
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
537
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
539
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
540
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
542
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
543
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
544
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
545
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
546
another process already removed the file.
547
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
549
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
550
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
552
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
553
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
554
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
556
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
557
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
559
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
562
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
565
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
566
(Martin Pool, #320035)
568
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
569
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
570
depended on this behaviour.
571
(Martin Pool, #499757)
573
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
574
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
575
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
576
should appear up-to-date.)
577
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
582
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
583
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
584
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
585
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
587
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
588
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
590
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
591
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
592
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
594
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
595
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
596
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
598
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
601
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
602
Bazaar is doing network IO.
608
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
609
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
611
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
612
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
614
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
615
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
617
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
618
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
620
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
621
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
622
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
624
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
627
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
628
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
634
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
637
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
638
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
639
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
640
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
642
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
643
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
644
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
646
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
647
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
649
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
650
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
651
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
652
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
654
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
660
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
661
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
662
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
664
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
665
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
666
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
667
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
669
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
670
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
675
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
676
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
677
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
678
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
679
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
681
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
682
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
683
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
684
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
685
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
686
suite. (Robert Collins)
688
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
689
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
690
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
692
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
693
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
701
:2.0.5: NOT RELEASED YET
706
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
707
(Martin Pool, #331095)
709
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
710
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
711
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
712
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
713
another process already removed the file.
714
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
716
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
717
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
719
(Martin Pool, #185103)
721
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
722
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
723
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
725
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
727
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
728
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
730
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
731
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
733
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
734
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
735
``UnboundLocalError``.
736
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
738
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
739
version number along with rest of the help text.
740
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
742
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
744
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
749
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.

758
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
759
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
760
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
761
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
767
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
768
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
770
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
771
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
772
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
773
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
775
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
776
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
777
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
778
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
779
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
781
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
782
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
783
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
785
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
786
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
787
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
788
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
790
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
791
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
793
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
794
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
795
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
796
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
797
(Martin Pool, #456077)
799
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
800
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
801
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
802
users, rather than something nicer.
803
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
805
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
806
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
808
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
809
build. (there is still the distutils bug
810
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
812
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
813
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
814
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
816
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
817
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
818
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
819
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
820
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
822
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
823
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
824
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
829
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
830
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
831
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
832
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

841
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
842
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
843
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
844
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
845
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
846
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
852
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
853
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
854
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
855
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
856
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
861
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
862
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
864
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
865
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
867
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
868
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
870
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
871
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
872
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
873
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
877
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
878
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
886
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
887
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
888
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
890
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
891
and issues a warning.
892
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
894
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
896
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
897
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
899
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
900
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
901
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
902
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
904
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
906
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
907
(Robert Collins, #84659)
909
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
911
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
912
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
914
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
916
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
917
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
919
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
920
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
921
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
922
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
924
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
925
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
927
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
928
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
930
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
931
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
932
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
934
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
935
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
936
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
937
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
939
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
940
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
941
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
943
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
944
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
945
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
946
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
948
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
949
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
950
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
956
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
958
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
959
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
961
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
962
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
965
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
966
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
969
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
970
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
971
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
972
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
973
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
978
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
984
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
986
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
987
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
988
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
994
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
995
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
996
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
997
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
999
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
1000
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
1001
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
1002
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
1003
(John Arbash Meinel)
1005
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
1006
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
1007
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
1008
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
1009
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
1010
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1015
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
1016
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)

:Codename: little italy
1026
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
1027
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
1033
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
1034
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
1035
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1037
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
1038
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
1040
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
1041
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
1042
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
1043
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
1045
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1051
:Codename: after sprint recovery
1052
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
1054
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
1055
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
1056
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
1057
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
1059
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
1060
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
1061
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
1062
formats for Remote objects.
1068
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
1069
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
1074
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
1076
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
1078
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
1079
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
1081
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1083
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
1084
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
1085
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
1086
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
1087
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
1088
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
1090
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
1091
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
1092
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
1093
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
1095
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
1096
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
1098
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
1099
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
1101
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
1102
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
1103
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
1104
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
1105
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
1106
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
1107
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1109
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
1110
(Alexander Belchenko)
1112
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
1113
Python level. (Martin Pool)
1118
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
1120
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
1121
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
1122
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
1124
(Martin Pool, 493944)
1129
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
1130
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
1131
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
1136
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
1137
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
1139
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
1140
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
1142
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
1143
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
1145
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
1146
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
1148
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1149
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
1150
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
1151
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
1153
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
1154
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
1156
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1157
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
1158
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
1159
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
1161
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
1162
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
1163
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
1164
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02

This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the

path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
1177
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
1178
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
1179
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
1180
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
1181
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
1184
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
1185
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
1186
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
1187
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
1188
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
1189
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
1194
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
1195
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
1197
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
1198
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
1199
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
1200
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
1202
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
1203
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
1205
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
1206
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
1207
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
1208
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
1210
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
1211
files. (Aaron Bentley)
1213
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
1214
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
1219
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
1220
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
1221
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
1222
(John Arbash Meinel)
1224
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
1225
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
1226
(John Arbash Meinel)
1231
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1232
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1237
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
1239
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
1240
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
1246
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
1247
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
1248
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
1249
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
1250
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
1251
(John Arbash Meinel)
1253
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
1254
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
1255
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
1256
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
1257
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
1258
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
1259
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
1260
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
1261
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
1263
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
1264
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
1265
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
1266
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
1267
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
1268
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
1269
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1271
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
1272
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
1273
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
1274
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
1280
:Codename: after the scare
1283
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
1284
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
1285
changes or features.
1290
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
1291
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
1293
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
1296
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1298
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
1299
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
1300
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
1302
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
1303
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
1305
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
1306
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
1308
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
1309
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
1314
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
1315
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
1320
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1321
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1327
:Codename: While the cat is away
1328
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
1330
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
1331
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
1332
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
1333
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
1334
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
1335
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
1336
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
1338
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
1339
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
1340
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
1341
error handling during unlocking.
1347
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
1350
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
1351
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
1352
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
1353
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
1354
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
1355
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
1357
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
1358
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
1359
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
1361
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
1362
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
1365
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
1366
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
1367
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
1369
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
1370
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
1373
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
1374
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
1375
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
1380
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1381
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1382
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1383
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1384
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1385
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1386
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1388
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1389
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1390
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1392
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1393
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1394
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1395
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1397
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1398
merges are present in the working tree.
1399
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1401
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1402
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1404
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1405
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1407
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1410
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1411
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1414
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1415
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1417
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1418
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1420
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1423
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1424
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
1425
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
1430
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
1431
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
1432
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
1434
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
1435
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
1436
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
1437
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
1438
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
1439
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
1440
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
1441
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
1443
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
1444
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
1445
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
1446
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
1447
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
1452
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1454
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1455
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1460
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
1461
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1463
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
1464
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
1466
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
1467
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
1468
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
1470
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
1473
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
1474
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
1475
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
1476
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
1477
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
1479
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
1481
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
1487
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
1488
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
1491
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
1492
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
1493
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
1494
(John Arbash Meinel)
1496
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
1497
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
1503
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
1504
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
1506
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
1507
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
1509
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
1510
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
1513
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
1515
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
1517
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
1518
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
1520
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
1521
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
1522
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1524
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
1525
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
1526
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
1527
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
1528
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
1530
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
1531
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
1533
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
1534
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
1540
:Codename: Stability First
1543
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
1544
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
1545
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
1551
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1552
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1553
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1555
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
1556
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
1557
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
1559
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
1560
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
1561
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
1563
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
1564
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
1566
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
1567
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
1568
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
1569
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
1570
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
1572
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
1573
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
1575
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
1576
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
1577
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
1578
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
1580
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
1581
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
1582
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
1584
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
1585
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
1586
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
1587
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
1588
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
1589
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
1590
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
1592
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
1593
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1595
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
1596
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
1597
to download the entire cix file many times.
1598
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
1600
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
1601
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
1606
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1608
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
1616
:Codename: Instant Karma
1618
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
1619
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
1620
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
1621
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
1622
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
1625
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
1626
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
1628
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1629
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
1630
months or until the following stable release.
1632
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
1633
******************************
1635
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
1636
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
1637
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
1638
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1644
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
1649
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
1650
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
1651
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
1656
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1657
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1658
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1659
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1660
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1661
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1662
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1664
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
1665
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
1666
(Robert Collins, #416732)
1668
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
1669
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
1671
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
1672
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
1673
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1675
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1676
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1678
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
1679
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
1680
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
1681
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
1682
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
1683
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
1684
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
1686
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
1687
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
1688
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
1689
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
1690
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
1691
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
1693
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
1694
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
1695
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1697
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
1698
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
1699
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1701
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
1702
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
1703
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
1705
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1706
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1708
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
1709
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
1710
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
1711
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
1716
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
1717
older smart servers.
1718
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
1720
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1721
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1723
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
1724
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
1725
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
1727
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
1728
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
1729
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
1731
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
1732
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
1742
********************
1744
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
1745
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
1746
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
1747
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
1748
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
1750
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
1751
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
1752
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
1753
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
1758
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
1759
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1764
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
1765
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1767
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
1768
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
1769
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
1770
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
1771
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
1773
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
1774
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
1775
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
1777
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
1778
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
1780
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
1781
(Martin Pool, #286871)
1783
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
1784
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
1785
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
1787
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
1788
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
1789
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
1790
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
1795
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
1796
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
1797
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1799
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
1800
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
1801
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
1802
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
1804
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
1806
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
1807
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1809
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
1810
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1812
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
1813
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
1814
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
1816
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
1817
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
1818
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
1819
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
1820
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
1821
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
1826
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
1832
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1833
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1834
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1842
:Codename: nein nein nein!
1845
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
1846
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
1847
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
1848
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
1849
pushing to older servers.
1854
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
1855
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
1856
(Martin Pool, #415508)
1858
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
1859
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
1860
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
1865
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
1866
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1868
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
1869
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1874
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1875
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1876
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1878
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
1879
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
1880
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
1882
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
1883
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
1884
should be used. (Robert Collins)
1889
Compatibility Breaks
1890
********************
1892
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
1893
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
1894
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
1895
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
1896
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
1904
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
1905
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
1906
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
1907
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
1908
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
1910
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
1911
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
1913
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
1914
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
1916
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
1917
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1919
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
1920
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
1921
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
1922
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
1924
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
1925
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
1926
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
1928
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
1929
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
1931
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
1932
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
1933
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
1934
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
1939
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
1940
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
1941
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1943
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
1944
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
1945
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
1946
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
1947
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
1949
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
1950
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
1951
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
1952
(John Arbash Meinel)
1963
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
1964
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
1965
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
1966
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
1967
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
1968
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
1970
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
1971
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
1972
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
1973
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
1975
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
1976
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
1977
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
1978
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
1979
(John Arbash Meinel)
1981
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
1982
protocols. (Robert Collins)
1984
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
1985
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
1986
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
1987
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
1993
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
1994
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
2002
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
2004
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
2005
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
2006
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
2007
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
2008
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
2009
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
2011
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2012
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
2013
or until the following stable release.
2015
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
2020
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
2021
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
2023
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
2024
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
2025
(Martin Pool, #391411)
2030
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
2031
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
2032
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
2034
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
2035
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
2036
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
2037
(Martin Pool, #123688)
2039
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
2040
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
2041
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
2042
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
2044
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
2045
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
2047
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
2048
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
2049
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
2050
(Robert Collins, #282402)
2052
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
2053
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
2055
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
2056
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
2058
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
2059
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
2060
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
2061
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
2062
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
2064
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
2065
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
2066
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
2068
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
2069
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
2070
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
2071
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
2072
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
2074
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
2075
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
2077
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
2078
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
2079
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
2081
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
2082
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
2083
(Martin Pool, #408201)
2085
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
2086
(Martin Pool, #403523)
2088
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
2089
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
2090
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
2092
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
2093
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
2095
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
2096
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
2098
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
2099
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
2101
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
2102
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
2103
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
2105
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
2106
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
2107
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
2109
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2111
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
2112
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
2114
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
2115
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
2116
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
2117
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
2118
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
2119
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
2121
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2122
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2123
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2125
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
2126
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
2127
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
2128
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
2130
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
2131
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
2132
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
2133
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
2134
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
2136
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
2137
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
2138
(Robert Collins, #187207)
2143
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
2146
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
2147
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
2148
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
2149
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
2151
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
2152
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
2153
(John Arbash Meinel)
2158
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2163
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
2164
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
2165
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
2166
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
2167
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
2168
passwords. (Martin Pool)
2170
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
2173
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
2176
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
2180
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
2181
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
2186
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
2187
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
2188
paths. (Robert Collins)
2190
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
2191
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
2193
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
2194
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
2195
disk. (Robert Collins)
2197
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
2198
it. (Robert Collins)
2200
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
2201
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
2202
(Alexander Belchenko)
2208
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
2209
(Martin Pool, #409684)
2211
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
2212
(Martin Pool, #408199)
2214
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
2215
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
2216
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
2217
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
2218
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
2219
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
2222
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
2223
#######################
2228
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2229
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2230
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
2236
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
2240
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
2241
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
2244
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
2245
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
2246
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
2247
annoying progress bar artifacts.
2250
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
2251
*********************************
2253
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
2254
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
2255
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
2257
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
2258
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
2259
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
2261
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
2262
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
2265
Compatibility Breaks
2266
********************
2268
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
2269
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
2270
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
2271
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
2277
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2278
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2279
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2280
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2282
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2283
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
2284
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2286
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2287
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
2288
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
2290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
2292
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2293
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2294
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2295
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2301
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
2302
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
2304
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
2305
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
2306
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
2307
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
2309
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
2310
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
2312
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2313
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2314
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2316
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
2317
(Martin Pool, #321935)
2319
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
2320
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
2322
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
2323
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
2325
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
2326
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
2327
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
2329
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
2332
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
2333
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
2335
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
2336
of a remote repository.
2337
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
2339
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
2340
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
2343
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
2345
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
2347
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
2348
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
2350
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
2351
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
2353
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
2354
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
2355
(Martin Pool, #339385)
2357
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
2358
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
2359
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
2360
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
2361
(John Arbash Meinel)
2363
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
2364
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
2365
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
2367
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
2368
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
2369
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
2370
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
2371
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
2372
(Robert Collins, #376243)
2374
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
2375
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
2376
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
2377
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
2378
activity display respectively.
2379
(Martin Pool, #340347)
2381
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
2382
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
2384
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
2387
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
2388
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
2394
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
2395
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
2396
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
2397
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
2399
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
2400
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
2401
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
2402
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
2405
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
2406
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
2408
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
2409
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
2410
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
2411
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
2412
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
2413
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2415
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
2416
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
2417
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
2418
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
2420
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
2421
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
2422
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
2423
(John Arbash Meinel)
2426
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
2427
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
2428
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
2429
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
2435
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
2436
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
2437
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
2438
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2440
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
2441
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
2442
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
2444
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
2447
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
2448
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
2450
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
2451
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
2452
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2454
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
2455
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
2456
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
2457
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2459
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
2465
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
2466
formatting in the user reference.
2467
(Martin Pool, #249908)
2469
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
2475
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
2478
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
2479
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
2480
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
2486
:Released: 2009-06-26
2488
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
2489
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
2490
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
2493
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
2494
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
2495
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
2497
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
2498
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
2503
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
2504
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2506
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
2507
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
2508
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
2510
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
2511
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
2512
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
2513
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
2514
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
2515
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
2516
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2518
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
2519
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
2520
converted data. (Robert Collins)
2522
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
2523
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
2524
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
2526
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
2527
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
2528
that. (Robert Collins)
2530
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
2531
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
2532
repository. (Robert Collins)
2534
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
2535
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
2536
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
2537
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
2547
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
2548
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
2549
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
2550
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
2552
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
2553
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
2554
bug fixes and improvements.
2557
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
2558
*********************************
2560
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
2561
2a can work correctly.
2562
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
2564
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2565
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2566
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2569
Compatibility Breaks
2570
********************
2572
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
2573
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
2574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
2580
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
2581
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
2582
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
2583
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
2584
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
2585
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
2588
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
2589
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
2590
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
2591
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
2593
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
2594
and more concisely repacks the full history.
2596
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
2597
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
2599
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
2600
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
2601
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2603
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
2604
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
2610
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
2611
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
2612
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2614
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
2615
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
2616
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
2617
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
2618
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
2620
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
2621
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
2622
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
2623
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
2625
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
2626
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
2632
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
2633
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
2634
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
2635
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2641
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
2642
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
2644
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
2645
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
2647
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
2648
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
2649
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
2651
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
2652
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
2654
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
2655
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
2656
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
2658
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
2659
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
2660
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
2661
(John Arbash Meinel)
2663
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
2664
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
2666
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
2667
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
2669
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
2670
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
2672
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
2673
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
2674
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
2675
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
2676
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
2677
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
2679
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
2681
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
2682
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
2684
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
2685
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
2687
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
2688
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
2689
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
2690
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
2691
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
2693
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
2694
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
2695
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
2696
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
2701
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
2702
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
2703
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
2708
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
2710
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
2711
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
2712
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2714
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
2715
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
2716
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
2718
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
2719
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2721
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
2722
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
2727
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
2728
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2733
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
2734
(Martin Pool, #386180)
2736
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
2738
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2740
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
2745
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
2749
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
2750
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
2751
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
2752
revisions introduce the exact same line.
2754
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
2755
*****************************
2757
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
2758
(Alexander Belchenko)
2760
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
2761
*********************************
2763
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
2764
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
2765
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
2766
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
2768
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
2769
*********************************
2773
Compatibility Breaks
2774
********************
2776
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
2777
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
2778
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
2779
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
2784
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
2785
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
2788
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
2789
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
2790
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
2791
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2793
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
2794
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
2795
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
2796
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
2798
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
2799
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
2802
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
2803
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
2804
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2809
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
2810
server. (Jonathan Lange)
2812
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
2813
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
2815
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
2816
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
2817
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
2819
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
2824
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
2825
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
2827
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
2829
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
2830
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
2832
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
2833
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
2835
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
2836
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
2838
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
2839
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
2840
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
2841
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
2843
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
2844
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
2846
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2847
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2849
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
2850
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
2852
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
2853
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
2855
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
2856
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
2858
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
2859
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
2861
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
2862
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2864
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
2865
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
2866
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
2867
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
2868
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
2869
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
2870
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
2871
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
2872
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
2873
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
2874
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
2875
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
2876
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
2877
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
2879
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
2880
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
2881
(Robert Collins, #368921)
2883
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
2884
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
2892
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
2893
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
2894
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
2896
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
2897
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
2898
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
2899
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
2900
(Alexander Belchenko)
2905
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
2906
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
2907
encoding. (Robert Collins)
2909
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
2910
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
2913
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
2914
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
2915
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
2916
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
2917
configuration. (Robert Collins)
2919
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
2920
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
2921
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
2923
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
2924
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
2925
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
2926
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
2928
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
2929
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
2930
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
2932
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
2933
backwards. (Robert Collins)
2935
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
2936
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
2937
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2938
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
2940
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
2941
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
2942
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2944
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
2945
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
2947
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
2948
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
2949
branches. (Robert Collins)
2951
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
2952
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2954
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
2959
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
2960
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
3011
********************
3013
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
3014
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
3015
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
3016
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
3017
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3019
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
3020
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
3021
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
3023
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
3024
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
3025
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
3026
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
3027
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3032
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
3033
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
3034
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
3035
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
3036
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
3039
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
3042
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
3043
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3045
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
3046
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
3047
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
3048
directory, not just the directory object itself.
3049
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
3051
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
3052
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
3054
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
3057
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
3058
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
3059
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
3060
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
3063
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
3064
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
3065
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
3066
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
3067
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3069
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
3070
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
3073
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
3079
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
3080
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
3081
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
3083
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
3084
the data when the target repository does not need topological
3085
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
3086
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
3087
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3089
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
3090
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
3093
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
3094
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
3095
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
3097
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
3100
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
3103
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
3104
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3106
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3107
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3109
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
3110
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
3112
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
3113
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
3116
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
3117
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
3118
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3120
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
3121
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
3122
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
3125
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
3126
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
3127
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
3128
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
3130
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
3131
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
3132
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
3133
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
3134
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
3135
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
3136
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
3137
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
3138
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3140
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
3146
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3147
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3148
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3149
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3150
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3151
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3152
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3154
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3155
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3157
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
3158
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
3159
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
3160
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
3162
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
3163
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
3165
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
3167
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3170
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3171
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3172
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3174
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3175
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3177
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
3178
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
3180
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
3181
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
3182
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
3184
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
3185
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
3186
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
3187
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3189
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3191
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
3192
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
3194
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
3195
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
3196
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
3197
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
3198
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
3200
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3201
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3202
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3203
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3204
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3205
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3206
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3208
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
3209
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
3211
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
3212
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
3215
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
3216
(James Westby, #341558)
3218
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
3219
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
3221
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
3222
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
3227
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
3229
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
3231
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
3232
(James Westby, #336998)
3237
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
3240
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
3241
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
3244
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
3245
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
3248
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
3249
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
3250
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
3252
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
3253
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
3254
Meinel, Robert Collins)
3256
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
3257
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
3258
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
3259
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
3262
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
3263
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
3266
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
3269
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
3270
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3272
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
3273
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
3274
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
3275
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3277
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3278
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3279
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3284
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3285
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3286
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3287
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3288
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3290
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3293
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3294
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3295
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3296
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
3302
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3303
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3305
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
3306
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3308
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
3309
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
3310
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3312
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
3313
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
3314
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
3315
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3317
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
3318
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
3319
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
3320
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3322
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
3323
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
3324
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3326
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
3327
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
3328
dependency. (Robert Collins)
3330
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
3331
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
3332
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3334
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
3335
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
3338
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
3339
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
3340
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
3342
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
3343
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3345
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
3346
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
3347
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3349
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
3350
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
3353
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
3354
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
3355
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3357
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
3358
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
3359
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
3360
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
3361
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
3363
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
3364
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
3365
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
3366
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3368
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
3369
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
3370
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
3371
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3373
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
3374
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
3375
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3377
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
3378
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
3381
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
3382
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
3383
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
3385
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
3386
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
3387
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
3388
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
3389
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
3391
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
3392
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
3393
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
3396
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
3397
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
3398
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
3399
desired. (Robert Collins)
3401
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
3402
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
3403
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
3404
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3406
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
3407
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
3408
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
3425
*****************************
3427
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
3428
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
3429
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
3430
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
3431
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
3432
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
3438
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
3439
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
3440
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3442
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
3443
********************************
3445
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
3446
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
3447
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
3452
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
3453
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
3455
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
3456
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
3458
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
3459
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
3461
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3463
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
3464
*********************************
3466
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3467
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3468
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3470
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3471
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3473
Compatibility Breaks
3474
********************
3476
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
3477
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
3478
command may need to be adjusted.
3479
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3484
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
3485
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
3486
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
3488
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
3491
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
3492
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
3493
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
3496
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
3497
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
3499
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
3500
(John Arbash Meinel)
3502
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
3503
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
3505
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
3507
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
3508
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
3511
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
3517
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
3518
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
3519
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
3520
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
3521
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
3522
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
3523
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
3524
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
3527
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
3528
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
3530
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
3531
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
3532
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
3534
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
3535
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
3537
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
3538
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
3539
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
3542
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
3543
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
3544
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3546
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
3547
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
3548
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
3549
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3551
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
3554
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
3555
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
3557
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
3558
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
3560
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
3561
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
3562
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
3564
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
3569
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
3570
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
3572
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
3573
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
3574
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
3576
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
3577
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
3578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
3580
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
3581
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
3583
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
3584
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
3587
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
3588
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
3589
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
3591
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
3592
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
3594
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
3595
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
3597
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
3598
(James Westby, #174539)
3600
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3601
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3603
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
3604
error branching from old repositories.
3605
(Martin Pool, #321695)
3607
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
3608
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
3610
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
3611
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
3612
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
3613
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3615
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
3616
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
3619
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
3620
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
3622
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
3623
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
3625
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
3626
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
3627
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3629
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
3630
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
3632
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
3633
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
3638
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
3639
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
3640
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
3643
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
3644
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
3646
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
3647
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
3652
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
3653
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
3654
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
3655
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
3656
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
3658
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
3659
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3661
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
3662
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
3663
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
3664
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
3665
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
3666
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
3668
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
3669
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
3671
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
3672
"author" argument being deprecated.
3674
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
3676
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
3677
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
3678
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
3679
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
3681
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
3682
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
3683
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
3685
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
3686
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
3687
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
3689
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
3690
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
3692
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
3693
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
3694
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
3695
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
3700
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
3701
free of virtual file system methods.
3702
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3704
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
3705
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
3706
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
3708
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
3709
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
3710
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
3711
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
3712
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
3713
(Robert Collins, #334187)
3715
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
3717
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
3718
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
3720
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
3721
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
3722
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
3723
stream the operation.
3724
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3726
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
3727
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
3729
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
3730
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
3731
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
3732
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
3733
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3735
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
3736
branch object. (Robert Collins)
3738
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
3739
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
3740
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
3742
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
3743
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
3746
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
3749
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
3750
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
3751
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3753
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
3754
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
3755
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3757
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
3758
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
3759
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3761
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
3762
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
3763
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3765
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
3766
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
3767
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
3768
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
3769
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
3771
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
3772
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
3773
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
3774
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
3775
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
3776
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
3778
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
3779
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
3780
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
3781
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
3782
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3784
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
3785
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3787
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
3788
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
3790
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
3791
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
3792
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
3793
to access private data in record to obtain content more
3794
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3796
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
3797
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

3808
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
3809
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
3810
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
3811
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
3812
by showing the rate of network IO.
3814
Changes from RC1 to Final
3815
*************************
3817
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
3818
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
3820
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
3821
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3823
Compatibility Breaks
3824
********************
3826
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
3827
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
3828
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
3829
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
3831
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
3832
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
3833
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
3836
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
3837
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
3838
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
3839
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3841
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
3842
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
3843
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
3846
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3851
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
3852
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
3853
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
3856
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
3857
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
3858
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
3860
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
3861
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
3862
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
3863
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
3864
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
3865
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
3866
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
3867
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
3868
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
3874
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
3877
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
3880
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
3881
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
3882
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
3884
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
3885
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
3886
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
3887
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
3888
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
3890
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
3891
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
3893
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
3894
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
3895
level for better precision.
3898
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
3899
rules. (Marius Kruger)
3901
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
3902
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
3903
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
3905
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
3906
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
3907
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
3910
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
3911
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
3912
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
3917
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
3919
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
3921
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
3922
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
3923
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
3925
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
3926
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
3927
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
3928
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
3929
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
3930
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
3932
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
3933
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
3935
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
3936
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
3938
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
3939
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3940
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3942
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
3943
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
3944
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
3947
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
3948
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
3950
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
3951
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
3952
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
3953
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
3955
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
3956
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
3958
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3960
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
3965
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3970
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
3971
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
3974
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
3975
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3977
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
3978
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3980
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
3981
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3983
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
3984
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
3985
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
3986
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
3988
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
3989
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
3990
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
3995
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
3996
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
3997
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
3998
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
3999
compile buffers, are such an example).
4002
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
4003
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
4006
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
4007
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
4008
efficient way of doing the mapping.
4011
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
4012
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
4014
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
4015
formatters to retrict the output.

:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4023
:Released: 2009-01-19
4025
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
4026
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
4027
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
4028
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
4029
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
4031
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
4032
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
4035
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
4036
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
4041
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
4044
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

4053
:Released: 2009-01-09
4058
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
4059
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4064
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
4065
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
4067
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
4068
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
4069
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
4070
implement other plugins.
4073
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
4079
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
4080
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
4082
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
4083
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
4085
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
4086
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
4087
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
4088
processes which drag in shell extensions.
4091
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
4092
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
4093
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
4094
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
4095
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
4097
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
4098
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
4099
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
4100
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
4101
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
4106
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
4107
control directory. (#139691)
4109
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
4110
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
4112
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
4113
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
4115
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
4116
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
4117
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
4119
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
4120
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
4122
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
4123
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4124
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4126
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
4127
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
4129
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
4132
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
4133
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
4134
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
4136
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
4137
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
4139
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
4140
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
4141
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
4143
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
4144
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
4145
in the appropriate sections.
4146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
4148
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
4149
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
4150
(John Arbash meinel)
4152
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
4153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
4155
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
4156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
4158
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
4159
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4161
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
4162
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
4163
work better with how it splits its requests.
4164
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
4166
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4167
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4168
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4170
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
4173
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
4175
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
4176
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
4178
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
4184
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
4185
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
4186
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
4192
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
4193
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
4194
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
4195
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4197
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
4198
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
4200
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
4201
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
4202
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
4203
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
4205
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
4206
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
4207
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
4208
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4213
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
4214
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
4215
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
4217
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
4218
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
4219
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
4220
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
4222
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
4223
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
4224
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
4230
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
4231
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
4232
(John Arbash Meinel)
4234
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
4235
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
4236
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
4237
(John Arbash Meinel)
4239
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
4240
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
4241
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
4242
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
4244
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
4245
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
4246
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
4248
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
4249
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
4250
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
4251
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
4253
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
4254
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
4255
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
4256
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
4257
(John Arbash Meinel)
4259
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
4260
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
4262
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
4263
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
4264
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
4266
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
4267
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
4268
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
4269
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
4271
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
4272
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
4273
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
4274
(John Arbash Meinel)
4276
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4277
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4278
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4279
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4280
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4281
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4282
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4284
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4285
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
4292
:Released: 2008-12-05
4294
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4295
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4296
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4297
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4300
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
4305
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
4306
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
4307
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
4308
(Martin Pool, #303856)
4310
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
4311
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
4312
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
4313
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
4314
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
4320
:Released: 2008-11-28
4322
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
4323
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
4324
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
4325
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
4326
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
4331
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
4332
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4334
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
4340
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
4341
history just to set the last revision info.
4342
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4344
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
4345
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
4346
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
4347
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4349
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
4350
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
4351
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
4352
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
4353
(John Arbash Meinel)
4355
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
4356
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4358
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
4359
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
4360
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
4361
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
4362
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
4364
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
4365
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
4366
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
4367
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
4372
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
4373
(Martin Pool, #289148)
4375
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
4376
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
4378
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
4379
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
4380
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
4381
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
4383
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
4384
starting with a dotted revno.
4385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
4387
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
4388
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
4389
(Martin Pool, #288751)
4391
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4392
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4393
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4395
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
4396
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
4397
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
4399
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
4400
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
4401
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
4402
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
4404
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
4405
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
4406
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
4408
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
4409
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
4414
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
4415
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
4416
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
4417
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
4419
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
4420
have changed incompatibly.
4422
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
4423
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
4424
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
4425
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
4426
don't need to change.
4428
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
4429
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
4434
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
4435
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
4437
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
4443
:Released: 2008-11-07
4445
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
4446
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
4447
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
4448
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
4449
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
4450
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
4455
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
4456
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
4458
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
4460
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
4461
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
4462
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
4468
:Released: 2008-10-31
4473
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
4474
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
4476
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
4477
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
4478
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
4479
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
4484
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
4485
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
4486
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
4487
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
4488
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
4489
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
4491
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
4492
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4494
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
4495
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
4496
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
4498
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
4499
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
4500
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
4503
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
4504
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
4506
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
4507
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
4509
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
4510
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
4512
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
4513
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
4514
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
4515
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
4516
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
4517
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
4518
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
4519
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
4520
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
4521
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4526
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
4527
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
4529
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
4530
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
4532
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
4533
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
4534
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
4536
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
4537
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
4538
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
4540
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
4541
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
4542
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
4544
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
4545
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
4546
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
4547
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
4548
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
4549
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
4551
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
4552
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
4554
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
4555
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
4557
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
4558
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
4559
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
4560
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
4561
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4563
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4564
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4565
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4566
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4571
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
4576
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
4581
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
4582
configuration of authetication credentials.
4588
:Released: 2008-10-16
4590
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
4591
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
4592
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
4593
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
4594
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
4599
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
4600
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
4605
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
4606
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
4612
:Released: 2008-10-07
4617
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
4618
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
4619
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
4620
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
4621
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4623
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
4624
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
4626
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
4627
server. (Marius Kruger)
4629
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
4630
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
4631
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
4632
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
4633
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
4634
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
4639
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
4640
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
4641
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
4643
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
4648
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
4649
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
4650
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
4651
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
4653
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
4654
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
4657
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
4658
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
4661
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
4664
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
4666
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
4667
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
4669
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
4670
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
4672
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
4673
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
4674
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
4675
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
4676
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
4677
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
4678
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
4679
operations. (Robert Collins)
4681
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
4683
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
4684
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
4685
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
4690
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
4691
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
4692
(Martin Pool, #279381)
4694
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
4695
repository now preserves the repository format.
4696
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
4698
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
4699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
4701
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
4702
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
4704
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
4706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
4708
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
4711
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
4712
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
4713
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
4715
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
4716
is in a different repository than the current one.
4717
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
4719
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
4720
(David Futcher, #242106)
4722
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
4723
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4725
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
4726
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
4727
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
4728
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
4730
* Trivial documentation fix.
4731
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
4733
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4734
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4735
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4736
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4741
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
4746
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
4747
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
4748
to use. (Robert Collins)
4750
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
4751
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
4752
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
4754
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
4755
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
4756
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
4757
they want. (Robert Collins)
4762
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
4763
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
4764
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
4766
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
4767
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
4770
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
4773
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
4774
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
4776
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
4782
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
4783
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
4785
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
4786
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
4787
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
4789
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
4790
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
4791
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
4793
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
4794
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4796
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
4797
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
4799
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
4800
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
4802
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
4803
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
4804
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
4805
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
4813

No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
4821
:Released: 2008-09-24
4823
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
4824
file paths when we encounter complex history.
4829
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
4830
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
4831
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
4832
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
4833
(John Arbash Meinel)
4839
:Released: 2008-09-23
4841
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
4842
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
4843
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
4844
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
4845
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
4846
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
4851
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
4852
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
4853
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
4859
:Released: 2008-09-17
4861
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
4862
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
4863
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
4864
connect to the stacked-on location.
4869
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
4870
repository now preserves the repository format.
4871
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
4873
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
4874
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
4876
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
4879
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
4886
:Released: 2008-09-09
4888
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
4889
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
4890
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
4891
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
4892
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
4893
it in a future repository format.
4899
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
4902
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
4903
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
4904
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
4906
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
4907
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
4908
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
4913
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
4914
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
4916
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4921
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
4922
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
4925
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
4926
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
4928
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
4929
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
4932
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
4933
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
4934
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
4935
(John Arbash Meinel)
4937
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
4938
(Martin Pool, #261315)
4940
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
4941
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
4942
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
4943
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
4944
(John Arbash Meinel)
4946
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
4947
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
4948
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
4949
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
4950
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
4951
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
4952
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
4953
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
4954
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
4955
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4960
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
4961
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
4963
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
4964
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
4965
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
4967
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
4968
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
4969
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
4971
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
4972
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
4973
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
4974
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
4975
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
4976
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
4978
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
4979
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
4981
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
4982
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
4984
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
4985
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
4986
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
4987
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
4988
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
4989
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
4991
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
4992
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
4994
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
4995
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
4997
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
4998
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
4999
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
5000
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
5002
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
5003
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
5005
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
5006
assuming the host name is ascii.
5007
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
5009
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
5010
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
5015
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5020
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
5022
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
5023
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
5024
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
5027
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
5028
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5030
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
5031
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5033
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
5034
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5039
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
5040
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
5041
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
5042
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
5044
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
5048
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
5049
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
5050
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5052
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
5058
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
5059
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
5062
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
5063
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
5064
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
5065
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
5066
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5068
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
5069
is unknown in both source and target.
5070
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
5072
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
5073
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
5074
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
5075
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5077
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
5078
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
5079
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
5080
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

5088
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
5089
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,

and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
5096
:Released: 2008-09-03
5101
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
5102

5103

(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
5110
:Released: 2008-08-29
5112
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
5113
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
5114
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
5115
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
5116
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
5117
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
5118
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
5119
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
5120
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
5121
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
5122
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
5123
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
5128
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
5129
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
5130
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
5131
start of the string (causing more copies).
5132
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
5133
especially for projects with large files.
5134
(John Arbash Meinel)
5136
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
5137
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
5138
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
5139
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
5140
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
5142
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
5143
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
5144
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
5145
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
5146
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

5155
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
5156
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
5157
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
5158
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
5159
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
5160
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
5161
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
5162
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
5163
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
5169
:Released: 2008-08-19
5174
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
5175
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
5176
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
5177
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
5178
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
5184
:Released: 2008-08-18
5189
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
5190
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
5191
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
5197
:Released: 2008-08-14
5202
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
5203
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
5209
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
5210
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
5211
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
5217
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
5218
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
5219
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
5221
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
5222
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
5223
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
5224
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
5225
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
5226
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
5227
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
5233
:Released: 2008-08-13
5235
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
5241
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
5242
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
5244
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
5245
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
5248
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
5249
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
5250
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
5251
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
5252
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
5254
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
5255
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5257
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
5258
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
5260
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
5261
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
5263
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
5264
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
5265
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
5266
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
5267
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
5268
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
5274
:Released: 2008-08-06
5276
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
5277
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
5278
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
5279
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
5280
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
5285
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
5286
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
5287
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
5292
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
5293
check. (Daniel Watkins)
5295
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
5296
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
5298
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
5299
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
5300
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5302
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
5305
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
5306
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
5307
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
5308
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
5309
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
5310
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
5311
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5313
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
5314
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
5315
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
5320
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
5321
physical repository boundaries.
5322
(Martin Pool, #252428)
5324
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
5325
(Martin Pool, #206258)
5327
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
5328
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
5331
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
5334
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
5335
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
5336
that Python is running from.
5337
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
5339
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
5340
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
5341
(Robert Collins, #150438)
5343
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
5344
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
5346
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
5347
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
5348
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
5350
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
5351
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
5353
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
5354
(James Westby, #248448)
5359
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
5360
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
5361
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
5364
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
5365
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
5368
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
5369
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
5370
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
5371
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
5372
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
5373
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
5376
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
5377
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5379
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
5380
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
5381
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
5382
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
5383
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
5384
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
5389
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
5390
putting together a real history without having to create a full
5391
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
5392
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
5393
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
5394
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5396
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
5397
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
5398
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
5400
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
5403
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
5404
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
5406
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
5413
:Released: 2008-07-17
5415
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
5416
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
5417
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
5418
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
5424
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
5425
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
5426
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
5428
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
5429
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
5430
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
5431
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
5432
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
5435
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
5437
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
5438
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
5439
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
5445
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
5446
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
5449
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
5450
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
5451
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
5452
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
5454
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
5455
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
5456
(Christophe Troestler)
5458
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
5459
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
5461
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
5462
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
5463
faster. The new request method name is
5464
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5469
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
5470
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
5471
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
5472
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
5473
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
5475
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
5476
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
5478
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
5479
requires a branch to be present.
5480
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
5482
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
5484
(Martin Pool, #205230)
5486
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
5487
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
5488
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
5489
(Martin Pool, #240161)
5491
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
5492
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
5494
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
5496
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
5498
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
5499
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
5500
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
5501
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
5502
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
5504
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
5505
(Martin Pool, #172870)
5507
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
5508
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
5510
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
5512
(Matt McClure, #209281)
5514
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
5515
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
5517
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
5518
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
5523
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
5526
* Updated developer documentation.
5532
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
5533
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
5535
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
5536
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
5537
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
5538
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
5543
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
5544
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
5545
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
5546
Repository docstring for more details.
5549
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
5550
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
5551
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
5553
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
5554
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
5557
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
5558
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
5559
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
5560
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
5565
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
5566
(Alexander Belchenko)
5568
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
5569
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
5570
containing a given location.
5573
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
5574
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
5575
storage. (Robert Collins)
5577
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
5580
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
5581
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
5588
:Released: 2008-06-10
5590
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
5591
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
5592
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
5598
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
5599
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
5600
reading from the repository.)
5601
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
5603
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5604
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5606
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
5607
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
5610
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
5611
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
5612
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
5614
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
5615
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
5616
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
5618
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
5619
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
5621
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
5622
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
5623
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
5624
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
5629
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
5631
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
5632
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
5633
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
5636
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
5637
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
5642
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5647
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
5648
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
5653
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5654
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5655
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5656
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5657
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5659
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
5660
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
5665
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
5666
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
5668
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
5669
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
5674
:Released: 2008-06-02
5676
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
5677
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
5678
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
5679
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
5680
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
5681
and future extensions.
5684
Notes When Upgrading
5685
********************
5687
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
5688
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
5689
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
5690
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
5691
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
5692
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
5693
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
5694
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
5699
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
5700
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
5701
(John Arbash Meinel)
5706
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
5707
load. (James Westby)
5712
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
5713
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
5714
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
5715
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5717
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
5718
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
5719
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
5721
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
5722
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
5724
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
5725
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
5726
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
5728
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
5729
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
5730
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
5731
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
5732
step closer to not using full revision history.
5733
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
5738
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
5739
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
5741
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5742
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5744
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
5745
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
5747
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
5748
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
5749
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
5750
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
5752
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
5753
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
5754
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
5755
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
5757
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
5758
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
5759
in use by another process.
5762
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
5763
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
5764
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
5765
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
5767
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
5768
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
5770
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
5771
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
5772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
5774
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
5775
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
5776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
5778
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
5780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
5782
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
5783
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
5785
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
5786
under vim on Mac OS X.
5787
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5789
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
5790
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
5795
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
5796
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
5798
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
5799
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
5802
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
5803
and about use of Python reprs.
5804
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
5806
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
5811
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
5814
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
5815
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
5817
* New helper function for splitting test suites
5818
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
5823
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
5824
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
5825
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
5826
(John Arbash Meinel)
5831
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
5832
instead. (Martin Pool)
5834
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
5835
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
5836
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
5837
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
5839
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
5840
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
5841
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
5842
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
5843
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
5845
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
5846
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
5847
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
5848
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
5849
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
5850
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
5852
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
5853
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
5856
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
5857
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
5860
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
5861
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
5862
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
5863
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
5865
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
5866
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
5867
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5869
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
5870
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
5871
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
5872
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
5873
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
5876
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
5877
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
5878
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
5879
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
5882
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5883
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5884
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5885
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5886
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5888
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
5895
:Released: 2008-05-16
5897
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
5898
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
5899
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
5904
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
5905
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
5906
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5911
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
5912
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
5919
:Released: 2008-05-09
5924
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
5925
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
5926
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
5927
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
5932
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
5933
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
5935
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
5936
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
5938
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
5944
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
5945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
5947
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
5948
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
5950
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
5951
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
5952
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
5954
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
5955
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
5956
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
5958
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
5961
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
5962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
5964
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
5965
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
5967
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
5968
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
5970
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
5971
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
5973
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
5974
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
5975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
5977
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
5978
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
5980
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
5981
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
5983
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
5984
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
5985
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
5986
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
5988
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
5989
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
5992
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
5993
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
5994
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
5996
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
5997
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
5998
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
5999
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6000
every revision each side had in common.
6001
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6003
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
6004
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6006
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
6007
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
6008
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
6009
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
6014
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
6015
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
6016
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
6017
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
6019
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
6021
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
6023
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
6024
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
6029
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
6030
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
6031
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
6033
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
6034
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
6035
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
6036
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6038
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
6039
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6041
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
6042
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
6043
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
6044
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6046
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
6047
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
6048
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
6049
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6054
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
6055
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
6056
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
6058
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
6060
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
6061
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
6063
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6064
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6066
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
6067
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
6072
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
6073
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
6074
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
6076
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
6077
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
6078
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
6081
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
6082
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
6085
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
6092
:Released: 2008-04-28
6094
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
6095
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
6096
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
6097
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
6098
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
6099
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
6100
and faster performance.
6105
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6106
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6107
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

6114
:Released: 2008-04-21
6119
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6120
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6121
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6123
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
6124
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6126
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6127
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
6129
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6130
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6131
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6132
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6133
every revision each side had in common.
6134
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6140
:Released: 2008-04-11
6145
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
6147
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
6148
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
6150
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
6151
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
6152
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
6154
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
6155
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
6156
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
6157
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
6158
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
6159
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
6162
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
6163
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
6164
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
6165
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
6170
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
6172
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
6173
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
6174
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
6176
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
6177
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
6178
See the User Reference for signature details.
6179
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
6181
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
6182
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
6187
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
6188
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
6189
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
6190
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6192
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
6193
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
6195
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
6196
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
6197
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
6200
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
6203
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
6204
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
6205
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
6207
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
6210
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
6211
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
6213
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
6214
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
6216
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
6217
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
6218
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
6220
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
6221
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
6222
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
6223
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
6224
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
6226
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
6227
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
6229
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
6230
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6235
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
6236
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
6237
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
6238
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
6239
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
6240
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
6242
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
6243
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
6245
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
6246
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
6247
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
6249
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
6250
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
6252
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
6253
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
6254
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
6255
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6257
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
6258
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
6259
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
6260
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
6261
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
6263
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
6265
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
6266
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
6268
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
6270
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
6271
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
6273
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
6274
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
6279
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
6281
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
6283
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6285
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
6290
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
6291
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
6292
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
6294
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
6295
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
6296
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
6297
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
6299
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
6300
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
6301
release. (James Westby)
6303
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
6306
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
6308
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
6309
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6311
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
6312
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6314
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
6315
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
6317
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
6318
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
6319
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
6321
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
6322
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
6323
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
6324
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
6326
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
6327
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
6328
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
6329
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
6331
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
6332
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
6333
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
6334
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
6335
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
6336
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
6338
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
6339
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
6340
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
6342
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
6343
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6345
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
6346
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
6349
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
6350
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
6352
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
6353
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
6355
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
6356
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
6358
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6359
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
6360
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
6362
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
6363
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
6364
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
6365
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
6366
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
6367
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
6372
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
6373
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
6374
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
6375
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
6377
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
6378
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
6379
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
6380
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
6384
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
6385
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
6388
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
6389
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
6391
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
6393
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
6394
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
6395
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
6400
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6402
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
6405
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
6406
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
6407
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
6408
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
6409
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
6410
(Martin Pool, #109520)
6412
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
6413
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
6415
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
6416
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
6417
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
6418
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
6420
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
6421
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
6423
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
6424
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
6474
********************
6476
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
6477
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
6482
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
6483
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
6484
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
6485
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
6488
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
6489
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
6490
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
6491
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
6492
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
6493
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
6495
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
6496
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
6497
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
6498
(Alexander Belchenko)
6500
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6502
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
6503
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
6508
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
6509
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
6511
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
6512
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
6518
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
6520
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6522
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
6523
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
6524
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
6526
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
6527
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
6529
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
6530
to. (Daniel Watkins)
6532
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
6533
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
6534
(Alexander Belchenko)
6536
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
6537
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
6538
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
6539
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
6541
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
6544
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
6545
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
6546
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
6547
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
6548
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6553
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
6554
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
6555
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
6556
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
6558
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
6559
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
6561
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
6562
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
6564
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
6565
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
6566
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
6568
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
6569
(#198793, John Ferlito)
6571
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
6574
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
6575
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
6577
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
6579
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
6581
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
6582
symlinks (James Henstridge)
6584
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
6585
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
6587
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
6588
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
6590
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
6591
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
6593
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
6594
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
6596
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
6597
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
6602
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
6603
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6608
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
6609
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
6610
(Alexander Belchenko)
6615
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
6617
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
6618
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
6624
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
6625
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
6626
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
6628
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
6629
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
6630
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
6631
(Alexander Belchenko)
6633
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
6634
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
6635
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
6636
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
6638
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
6639
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
6640
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
6643
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
6644
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
6645
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
6647
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
6648
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
6649
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
6651
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
6652
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
6653
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
6654
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
6674
********************
6676
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
6677
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
6678
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
6679
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
6680
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
6686
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
6687
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
6689
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
6690
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
6691
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
6693
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
6694
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
6695
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
6696
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
6697
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
6698
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
6704
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
6705
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6707
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
6708
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
6709
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
6712
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
6713
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
6714
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
6715
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
6716
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
6718
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
6719
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
6720
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
6721
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
6722
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
6723
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
6724
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
6725
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
6730
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
6731
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
6733
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
6734
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6736
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
6737
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6739
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
6740
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
6741
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
6743
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
6744
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
6745
(John Arbash Meinel)
6750
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
6751
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
6753
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
6754
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
6756
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
6757
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
6759
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
6760
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
6761
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
6763
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
6764
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
6765
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
6767
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
6768
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
6770
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
6771
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
6772
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
6773
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
6774
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
6776
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6778
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
6779
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
6782
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
6783
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
6785
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
6786
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
6788
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
6789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
6791
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
6792
more characters which should be considered valid.
6793
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
6795
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
6796
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
6798
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
6799
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
6804
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
6805
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
6807
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
6808
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
6814
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
6815
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
6821
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
6822
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
6823
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
6825
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
6826
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
6827
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
6829
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
6830
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
6831
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
6832
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
6834
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
6836
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
6837
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
6838
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
6839
server. (Robert Collins)
6841
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
6842
operate. (Robert Collins)
6844
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
6845
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
6846
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
6848
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
6849
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
6850
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
6851
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
6853
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
6854
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
6856
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
6857
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
6858
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
6860
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
6861
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
6863
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
6864
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
6866
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
6867
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
6868
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
6869
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

(no changes from 1.1rc1)
6882
:Released: 2008-01-05
6887
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
6888
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
6889
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
6890
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6892
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
6893
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
6894
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
6895
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
6900
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
6903
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
6906
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
6907
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
6912
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
6915
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
6916
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
6917
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
6919
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
6921
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
6922
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
6923
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
6924
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
6925
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
6927
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
6928
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
6929
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
6931
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
6932
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
6934
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
6937
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
6939
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
6941
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
6944
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
6945
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
6950
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
6951
(Martin Pool, #180208)
6953
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
6954
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
6956
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
6959
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
6960
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
6962
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
6963
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
6965
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
6966
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6968
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
6969
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
6971
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
6972
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
6973
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
6975
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
6976
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
6978
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
6979
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
6982
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
6984
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
6985
user:pass embedded in the urls.
6986
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
6988
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
6989
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
6991
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
6994
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
6997
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
6998
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
7000
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
7003
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
7004
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
7007
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
7008
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
7009
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
7014
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
7017
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
7018
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
7019
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
7020
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
7021
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
7022
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
7024
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
7029
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
7032
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
7033
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
7035
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
7037
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
7038
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
7039
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
7042
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
7043
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7045
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
7054
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
7055
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
7056
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
7058
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
7059
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
7062
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
7063
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
7065
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
7066
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7068
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
7069
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7071
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
7072
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
7073
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7075
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
7076
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
7078
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
7079
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7081
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
7082
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
7085
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
7086
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
7088
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
7089
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7102
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
7105
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
7107
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
7108
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.

:Released: 2007-12-11
7120
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
7121
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
7122
by mail to the mailing list.
7128
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
7130
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
7131
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
7132
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
7133
feedback but also incur more latency.
7134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
7136
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
7137
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
7142
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7144
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
7150
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
7151
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
7152
wraps its output in a StringIO.

:Released: 2007-12-07
7164
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
7166
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
7169
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
7172
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
7173
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
7174
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
7175
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7177
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
7180
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
7181
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
7183
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
7184
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
7185
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
7187
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
7188
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
7189
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
7190
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
7191
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
7192
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
7193
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
7194
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
7195
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
7200
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
7203
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.

* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
7216
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are

* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
7224
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)

* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
7230
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
7239
********************
7241
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
7242
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
7243
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
7244
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
7246
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
7247
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
7249
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
7250
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
7252
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
7253
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
7254
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
7255
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
7256
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
7257
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
7258
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
7259
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
7260
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
7261
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
7262
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
7263
from any tree without problems.
7264
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
7269
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
7270
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
7271
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
7273
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
7274
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
7280
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
7281
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
7282
supported transports.
7285
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
7286
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
7287
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
7289
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
7290
(Robert Collins, #154173)
7292
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
7293
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
7294
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
7295
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
7297
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
7298
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
7303
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
7304
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
7305
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
7306
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7308
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
7309
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
7310
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
7311
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
7313
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
7314
(Robert Collins, #88319)
7316
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
7317
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
7319
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
7320
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
7322
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
7323
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
7329
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
7332
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
7333
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
7336
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
7337
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
7338
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
7339
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
7341
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
7342
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
7343
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
7344
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
7352
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
7353
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
7355
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
7356
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
7358
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
7359
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
7361
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
7362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
7364
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
7365
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
7367
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
7368
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
7370
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
7371
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
7373
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
7376
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
7377
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
7379
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
7380
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
7381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
7383
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
7384
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
7386
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
7387
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
7389
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
7390
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
7392
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
7393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
7395
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
7396
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
7397
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
7398
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
7400
(Martin Pool, #164637)
7402
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
7403
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
7404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
7406
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
7407
(Robert Collins, #161240)
7409
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
7411
(Martin Pool, #164443)
7413
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
7414
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
7416
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
7417
specify a port in urls.
7418
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
7420
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
7421
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
7423
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
7424
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
7426
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
7427
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
7429
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
7430
(Robert Collins, #153789)
7432
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
7433
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
7434
(Robert Collins, #165304).
7436
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
7438
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
7439
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
7441
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
7444
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
7445
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
7447
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
7448
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
7450
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
7451
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
7452
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
7454
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
7455
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
7457
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
7458
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
7459
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
7460
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
7462
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
7463
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
7465
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
7466
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
7467
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
7469
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
7470
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
7472
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
7473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
7475
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
7476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
7481
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
7482
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
7484
* The return value of
7485
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
7486
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
7487
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
7488
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
7490
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
7493
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
7494
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
7501
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
7502
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
7503
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
7506
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
7507
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
7509
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
7515
:Released: 2007-11-05
7520
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
7526
:Released: 2007-10-29
7531
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
7532
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
7534
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
7535
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
7536
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
7537
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
7538
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
7539
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
7540
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
7541
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
7542
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
7543
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
7544
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
7545
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
7551
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
7552
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
7553
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
7554
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
7555
commands. (Robert Collins)
7557
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
7558
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
7559
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
7562
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
7564
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
7565
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
7567
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
7568
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
7571
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
7572
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
7573
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
7578
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
7579
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7581
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
7582
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
7584
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
7585
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
7586
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
7587
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
7589
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
7592
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
7593
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
7594
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
7595
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
7597
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
7598
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
7600
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
7601
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
7603
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
7604
the contents. (Robert Collins)
7606
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
7607
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
7612
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
7613
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
7615
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
7616
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
7618
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
7619
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
7621
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
7622
(Martin Pool, #63894)
7624
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
7625
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
7630
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
7632
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
7638
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
7639
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
7640
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
7642
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
7643
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
7645
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
7646
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
7648
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
7649
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
7650
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
7651
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
7653
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
7654
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
7655
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
7656
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
7657
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
7659
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
7660
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
7662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
7664
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7666
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
7667
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
7669
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
7670
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
7672
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
7673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
7675
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
7676
contains a symbolic link.
7677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
7679
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
7680
(James Westby, #140615)
7682
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
7683
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
7684
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
7686
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
7687
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
7688
(Martin Pool, #144633)
7690
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
7692
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
7693
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
7695
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
7697
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
7699
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
7700
directory to detect leaking tests.
7701
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
7703
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
7704
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
7705
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
7707
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
7710
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
7711
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
7713
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
7719
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
7720
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
7722
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
7723
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
7724
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
7726
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
7727
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
7728
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
7730
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
7731
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
7733
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
7734
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
7736
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
7737
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
7740
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
7741
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
7743
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
7744
class that needs it.
7747
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
7748
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
7750
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
7751
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
7752
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
7754
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
7755
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
7756
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
7759
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
7760
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
7761
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
7762
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
7768
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
7769
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
7770
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
7772
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
7773
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
7774
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
7775
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
7777
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
7778
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
7781
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
7782
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
7783
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
7785
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
7786
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
7787
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
7789
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
7790
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
7792
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
7793
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
7794
to complete. (Robert Collins)
7796
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
7797
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
7799
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
7800
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
7801
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
7803
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
7804
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
7805
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
7807
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
7808
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
7809
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
7810
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
7812
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
7813
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
7814
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
7815
returned. (Robert Collins)
7817
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
7818
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
7820
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
7821
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
7822
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
7823
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
7826
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
7827
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
7832
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
7833
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
7835
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
7836
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
7837
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
7838
makes this behavior available to other users.
7841
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
7842
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
7848
:Released: 2007-09-26
7853
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7854
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7855
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7857
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7859
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
7860
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
7861
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
7862
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
7864
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
7865
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
7872
:Released: 2007-09-11
7874
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
7875
in bzrlib/remote.py.
7881
:Released: 2007-09-11
7886
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
7887
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
7888
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
7889
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
7892
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
7893
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
7894
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
7900
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
7901
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
7902
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
7905
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
7906
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
7907
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
7909
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
7910
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
7911
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
7913
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
7914
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
7916
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
7917
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
7918
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
7919
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
7920
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
7921
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
7922
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
7923
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
7924
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
7925
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
7927
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
7928
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
7930
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
7931
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
7932
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7937
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
7938
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
7940
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
7941
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
7942
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
7944
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
7945
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
7947
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
7948
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
7950
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
7953
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
7954
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
7956
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
7957
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
7959
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
7960
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7962
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
7963
(Blake Winton, #129299)
7965
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
7967
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
7970
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
7971
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
7972
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
7973
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
7975
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7977
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
7978
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
7981
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
7982
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
7984
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
7985
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
7988
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
7989
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
7991
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
7992
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
7994
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
7995
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
7996
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
7997
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
7998
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
7999
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
8000
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
8002
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
8003
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
8005
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
8006
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
8008
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
8009
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
8011
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
8012
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
8014
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
8016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
8018
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
8019
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
8021
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
8022
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
8023
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
8025
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8026
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8027
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8032
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
8033
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8035
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
8038
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
8041
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
8042
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8044
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
8046
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
8047
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
8049
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
8050
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
8052
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
8053
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
8054
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
8055
space). (Robert Collins)
8057
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
8058
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
8061
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
8062
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8064
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
8065
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
8067
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
8068
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
8069
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
8070
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
8072
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
8073
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
8074
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
8077
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
8080
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
8081
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
8082
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
8084
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
8085
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
8086
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
8087
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
8088
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
8093
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
8094
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
8096
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
8097
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
8098
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
8099
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
8100
affected. (Robert Collins)
8102
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
8103
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
8104
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
8107
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8108
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8113
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
8114
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
8116
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
8117
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8119
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8120
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8122
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
8125
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
8126
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8131
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
8132
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
8133
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
8134
its version information. (Robert Collins)
8136
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
8137
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8139
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
8140
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
8141
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
8142
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8144
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
8145
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
8146
present. (Robert Collins)
8148
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
8149
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
8150
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
8151
API. (Robert Collins)
8153
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
8154
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
8157
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
8158
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
8160
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
8161
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
8162
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
8163
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
8164
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
8165
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
8167
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
8168
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
8169
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
8171
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
8172
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
8173
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
8174
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
8177
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
8180
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
8181
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
8182
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
8183
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
8184
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
8185
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
8186
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
8188
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
8189
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
8190
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
8191
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
8193
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
8194
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
8195
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
8196
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
8197
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
8198
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
8200
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
8201
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
8202
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
8204
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
8205
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8211
:Released: 2007-08-28
8216
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
8217
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
8218
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
8219
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
8220
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
8221
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
8222
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
8223
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
8229
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
8230
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
8231
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
8237
:Released: 2007-08-14
8242
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
8243
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
8244
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8245
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
8246
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
8248
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
8249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
8251
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
8253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
8255
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
8256
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
8259
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
8260
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
8263
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
8266
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
8267
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
8269
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
8270
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
8272
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
8273
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
8275
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
8276
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8278
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8279
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
8281
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
8287
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8288
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8290
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8291
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8293
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8294
the repository (Robert Collins)
8296
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8297
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8298
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8299
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8300
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8302
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8303
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8305
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
8306
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
8307
(John Arbash Meinel)
8309
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
8310
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
8311
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
8313
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
8314
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
8315
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
8316
(John Arbash Meinel)
8318
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
8319
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
8322
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
8323
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
8325
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
8328
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
8330
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
8332
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
8333
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
8335
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
8336
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
8339
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
8340
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
8341
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
8342
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8344
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
8345
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
8346
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
8348
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
8349
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
8350
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
8352
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
8353
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
8355
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
8356
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
8357
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
8358
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
8359
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
8360
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
8363
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
8364
(Alexander Belchenko)
8366
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
8367
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
8369
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
8370
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
8372
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
8374
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
8375
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
8380
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
8381
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
8382
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
8383
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
8385
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
8387
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
8390
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
8391
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
8392
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
8393
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
8394
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
8395
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
8400
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
8401
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
8402
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
8403
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
8405
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
8406
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
8407
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
8408
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
8409
tests have been refactored too.
8412
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
8413
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
8414
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
8418
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
8419
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
8420
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8422
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
8423
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
8424
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
8425
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
8426
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
8427
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
8428
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
8430
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
8431
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
8432
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
8433
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
8434
(John Arbash Meinel)
8436
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
8437
functionality for testing.
8439
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
8441
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
8442
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8444
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
8446
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
8449
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
8450
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
8452
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
8453
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
8454
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
8456
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
8459
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
8460
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
8462
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
8463
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
8464
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
8465
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
8467
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
8468
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
8470
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
8471
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
8472
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
8474
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
8477
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
8478
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
8479
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
8480
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
8481
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
8482
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
8484
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
8485
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
8486
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
8487
many files. (Robert Collins)
8489
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
8490
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
8491
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
8492
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
8497
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
8498
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
8499
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
8501
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
8502
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
8504
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
8505
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
8506
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8512
:Released: 2007-07-17
8517
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
8523
:Released: 2007-07-10
8528
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
8529
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
8531
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
8532
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
8533
(James Westby, #122656)
8535
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
8536
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
8538
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
8539
authentication header.
8540
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
8542
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
8544
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
8545
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
8547
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
8549
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
8550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
8552
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
8553
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
8554
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
8556
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
8557
individually and as part of revision ranges.
8558
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
8560
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
8561
(Martin Pool, #109169)
8563
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
8564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
8566
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
8567
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
8569
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8571
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
8576
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
8577
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
8578
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8579
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
8580
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
8581
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
8583
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
8584
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
8585
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
8587
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
8590
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
8591
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
8593
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
8594
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
8596
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
8597
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
8599
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
8600
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
8601
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
8602
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
8603
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
8605
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
8606
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
8608
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
8609
can be slow it is useful feedback).
8610
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
8612
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
8613
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
8615
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
8617
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
8618
output. (Aaron Bentley)
8620
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
8621
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
8624
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
8627
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
8628
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
8630
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
8631
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
8633
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
8634
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
8636
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
8638
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
8639
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
8641
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
8647
* Testing cleanups -
8648
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
8649
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
8650
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
8651
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
8652
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8653
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.

``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8655
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.

``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8657
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
8658
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
8659
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.

``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
8662
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8663
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
8664
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
8667
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
8669
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
8670
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
8671
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
8673
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
8674
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
8676
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
8677
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8679
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
8681
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
8682
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
8683
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
8684
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
8685
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
8686
same location. (Robert Collins)
8691
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
8693
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
8695
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
8697
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
8700
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
8703
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
8704
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
8705
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
8707
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
8709
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
8710
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
8711
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
8713
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
8714
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
8716
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
8717
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
8718
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
8720
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
8721
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
8722
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)

* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
8725
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
8726
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
8728
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
8729
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
8732
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
8733
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
8735
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
8736
(Alexander Belchenko)
8741
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
8742
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
8743
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
8744
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8746
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
8747
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
8748
testing. (Robert Collins)
8750
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
8751
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
8753
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
8754
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
8755
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
8756
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
8757
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
8758
attribute during the test parameterisation in
8759
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
8761
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
8762
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
8763
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
8764
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
8766
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
8767
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
8769
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
8770
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
8795
********************
8797
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
8798
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
8799
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
8800
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
8801
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
8802
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
8803
and unlock() like so::
8805
work_tree.lock_read()
8807
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
8813
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
8814
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
8816
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
8817
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
8818
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
8820
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
8821
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
8822
too. (Robert Collins)
8827
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
8828
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
8831
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
8832
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
8834
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
8835
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
8837
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
8838
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
8839
understanding what changes have occurred
8840
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
8842
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
8843
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
8844
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8846
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
8847
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
8848
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
8849
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
8851
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
8857
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
8858
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
8859
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
8860
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
8861
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
8863
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
8864
based on split paths, not just string paths.
8865
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
8867
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
8868
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
8870
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
8872
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
8874
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
8875
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
8877
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
8878
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
8880
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
8881
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
8883
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
8884
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
8886
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
8887
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
8889
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
8890
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
8891
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
8896
:Released: 2007-05-07
8901
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
8902
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
8903
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
8904
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
8905
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
8907
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
8908
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
8909
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
8911
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
8912
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
8917
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
8918
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
8919
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
8921
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
8922
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
8923
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
8924
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
8929
:Released: 2007-04-30
8934
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
8935
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
8936
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
8937
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
8939
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
8940
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
8941
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
8943
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
8944
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
8946
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
8947
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
8949
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
8950
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
8955
:Released: 2007-04-26
8957
Notes When Upgrading
8958
********************
8960
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
8961
it could be recovered again.
8962
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
8963
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
8964
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
8966
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
8968
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
8969
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
8974
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
8975
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
8977
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
8978
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
8979
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
8980
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
8982
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
8983
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
8985
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
8986
tests with names that match that regular expression.
8987
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
8989
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
8990
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
8991
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
8993
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
8994
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
8995
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
8997
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
8998
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
9001
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
9004
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
9005
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
9006
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
9007
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
9009
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
9012
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
9013
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
9014
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
9017
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
9018
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
9020
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
9021
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
9023
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
9024
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
9025
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
9026
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
9029
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
9030
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
9032
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
9033
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9035
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
9036
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
9037
(Robert Collins, #107125).
9039
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
9040
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
9041
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
9043
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
9044
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
9045
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9047
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
9048
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
9049
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
9050
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
9052
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
9053
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
9054
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
9055
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
9057
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
9058
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
9059
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
9060
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
9061
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
9062
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
9063
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
9064
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
9071
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
9072
code paths. (Robert Collins)
9074
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
9075
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
9076
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
9077
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
9078
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9080
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
9081
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
9083
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
9084
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
9086
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
9087
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
9089
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
9090
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
9092
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
9093
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
9094
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
9097
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
9098
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
9099
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
9100
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
9101
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
9104
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
9105
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
9106
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
9108
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
9109
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
9112
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
9113
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
9114
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
9117
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
9118
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
9119
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
9120
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
9121
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
9123
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
9124
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
9125
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
9126
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9128
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
9129
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9131
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
9132
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
9133
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
9134
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
9135
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
9136
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
9138
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
9139
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
9141
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
9142
help. (Robert Collins)
9144
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
9145
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9147
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
9148
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
9149
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
9150
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
9151
(John Arbash Meinel)
9153
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
9154
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
9155
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
9156
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
9157
useful. (Robert Collins)
9159
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
9165
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
9166
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
9168
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
9169
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
9171
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
9172
properly and is no longer beneficial.
9173
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
9175
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
9178
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
9179
the file, and does it faster.
9180
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
9182
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
9183
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
9184
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
9186
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
9187
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
9188
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
9189
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
9191
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
9192
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
9193
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
9194
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
9196
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
9197
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
9199
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
9200
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
9201
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
9202
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
9205
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
9207
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
9208
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
9210
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
9211
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
9213
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
9214
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
9215
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
9216
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
9220
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
9221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
9226
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
9227
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
9228
in running it. (Robert Collins)
9230
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
9231
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
9233
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
9234
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
9235
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
9236
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
9237
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
9238
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
9239
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
9240
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9242
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
9243
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
9244
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9246
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
9247
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
9248
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
9249
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
9250
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
9252
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9254
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
9255
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
9256
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
9258
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
9259
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
9265
:Released: 2007-04-01
9270
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
9273
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
9274
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
9280
:Released: 2007-03-26
9285
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
9286
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
9292
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9293
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9294
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9295
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9296
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9297
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9298
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9299
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
9305
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
9306
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
9307
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
9309
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
9310
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
9313
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
9314
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
9315
(John Arbash Meinel)
9317
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
9318
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
9319
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
9320
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
9321
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
9326
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
9329
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
9330
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
9332
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
9333
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
9335
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
9336
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
9337
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
9339
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
9340
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
9342
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
9343
last-changed-revision for directories. The
9344
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
9345
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
9346
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
9348
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
9349
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
9350
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
9352
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
9361
********************
9363
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
9364
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
9365
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
9370
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
9371
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
9373
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
9374
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
9376
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
9378
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
9379
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
9381
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
9382
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
9387
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
9393
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
9394
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
9395
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
9396
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
9398
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
9399
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
9401
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
9402
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
9404
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
9407
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
9408
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
9414
:Released: 2007-03-07
9419
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
9420
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
9421
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
9422
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
9423
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
9424
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
9426
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
9427
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
9428
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
9429
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
9430
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
9431
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
9433
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9435
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
9436
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
9437
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
9438
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
9439
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
9440
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
9441
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
9442
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9447
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
9448
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
9450
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9451
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
9452
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
9453
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
9455
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
9456
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
9457
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
9458
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
9459
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
9461
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
9464
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
9467
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
9470
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
9471
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
9474
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
9477
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
9478
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
9480
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
9481
directory. (Martin Pool)
9483
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
9484
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
9485
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
9486
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
9488
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
9489
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
9490
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
9491
in docs/configuration.txt.
9493
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
9494
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
9497
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
9498
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
9499
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
9500
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
9501
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
9502
repositories. (Martin Pool)
9504
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
9505
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9507
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
9508
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
9510
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
9516
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
9517
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
9518
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
9519
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
9520
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
9521
(John Arbash Meinel)
9523
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
9524
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
9527
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
9528
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
9529
(John Arbash Meinel)
9531
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
9532
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
9533
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
9534
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
9535
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
9536
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
9538
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
9539
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
9540
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
9542
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
9543
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
9544
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
9545
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
9547
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9549
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
9550
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
9551
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
9552
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
9554
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
9555
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
9556
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
9557
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
9559
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
9560
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
9561
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
9563
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
9564
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
9565
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
9567
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
9568
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
9569
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
9570
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
9572
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
9573
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
9574
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
9576
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
9577
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
9578
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
9580
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
9581
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
9582
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
9583
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
9584
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
9585
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
9586
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
9587
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
9588
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
9589
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
9590
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
9595
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
9596
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
9597
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
9599
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
9602
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
9603
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
9604
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
9605
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
9607
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
9608
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
9611
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
9612
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
9614
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
9616
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
9617
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
9618
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
9620
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
9621
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
9623
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
9624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
9626
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
9627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
9629
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
9630
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
9632
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
9634
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
9635
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
9640
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
9641
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
9647
:Released: 2007-01-23
9652
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
9657
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
9658
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
9659
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
9661
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
9662
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
9663
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
9669
:Released: 2007-01-16
9674
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
9675
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
9676
server, then you can write over the http connection.
9677
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9679
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
9682
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
9683
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
9684
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
9686
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
9687
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
9689
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
9692
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
9693
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
9694
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
9695
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
9696
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
9697
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
9699
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
9700
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
9701
should enable you to do::
9703
[/home/user/project]
9704
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
9705
push_location:policy = appendpath
9707
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
9708
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
9711
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
9712
for each file. For example::
9714
$ bzr status --short
9720
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
9721
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
9723
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
9725
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
9726
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
9728
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
9733
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
9734
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
9735
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
9736
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
9738
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
9739
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
9740
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
9742
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
9744
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
9745
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
9746
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
9747
(Alexander Belchenko)
9749
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
9752
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
9753
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
9755
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
9760
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
9761
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
9763
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
9764
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
9765
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
9766
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
9767
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
9769
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
9770
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
9772
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
9773
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
9775
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
9777
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
9779
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
9780
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
9781
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
9782
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
9783
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
9785
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
9786
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
9787
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
9788
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
9790
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
9791
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
9793
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
9794
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
9796
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
9797
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
9821
(Daniel Silverstone)
9823
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
9824
operations are substantially faster.
9825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
9827
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
9828
tree from some other url. For example:
9829
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
9830
(Daniel Silverstone)
9832
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
9833
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
9834
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
9835
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
9837
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
9840
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
9841
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
9842
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
9843
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
9844
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
9845
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
9850
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
9851
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
9854
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
9855
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
9856
(John Arbash Meinel)
9858
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
9859
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
9860
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
9861
(John Arbash Meinel)
9863
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
9864
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
9866
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
9867
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9869
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
9870
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
9876
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
9877
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
9878
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
9880
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,

without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
9882
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
9883
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
9885
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
9887
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
9888
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
9890
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
9891
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
9892
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
9893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
9895
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
9896
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
9897
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
9899
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
9900
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
9901
them as full references rather than integers.
9902
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
9904
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
9905
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
9907
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
9909
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
9910
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
9912
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
9913
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
9915
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
9916
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
9917
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
9918
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
9920
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
9921
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
9922
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
9924
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
9925
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
9927
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
9928
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
9929
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
9930
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
9931
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
9936
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
9937
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
9942
:Released: 2006-10-30
9947
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
9948
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
9949
(John Arbash Meinel)
9954
:Released: 2006-10-23
9959
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
9960
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
9961
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
9962
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
9964
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
9965
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
9967
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
9969
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
9970
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
9971
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
9972
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9974
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
9975
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
9976
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
9977
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
9978
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
9983
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
9984
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
9989
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
9990
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
9991
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9993
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
9994
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
9995
(John Arbash Meinel)
9997
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
9998
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
9999
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
10001
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
10002
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
10005
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
10006
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
10007
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10009
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
10010
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
10011
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
10012
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
10013
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
10014
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10016
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
10017
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
10018
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
10021
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
10022
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
10027
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
10028
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
10029
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
10032
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
10033
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
10035
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
10036
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
10037
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
10039
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
10040
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
10042
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
10043
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
10044
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
10045
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
10047
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
10048
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
10050
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
10051
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
10052
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
10054
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
10055
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
10057
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10059
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
10060
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
10066
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
10067
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
10068
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
10069
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
10071
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
10072
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
10073
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10078
:Released: 2006-10-02

* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
10085
:Released: 2006-09-27
10090
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
10092
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
10098
:Released: 2006-09-25
10103
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
10104
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
10105
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
10106
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
10107
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10108
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
10109
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
10111
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
10112
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
10113
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
10115
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
10117
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
10118
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
10120
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
10121
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
10122
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
10125
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
10126
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
10127
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
10128
(John Arbash Meinel)
10130
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
10131
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
10132
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
10133
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
10136
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
10137
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
10138
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
10139
(John Arbash Meinel)
10144
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
10145
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
10147
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
10149
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
10150
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
10151
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
10153
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
10154
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
10156
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
10157
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
10159
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
10160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
10162
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
10163
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
10165
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
10167
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
10168
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
10170
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
10171
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
10173
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
10174
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
10176
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
10177
(John Arbash Meinel)
10179
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
10180
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
10181
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
10183
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
10184
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10186
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
10187
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
10188
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
10189
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
10191
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
10192
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
10193
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
10195
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
10196
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
10201
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
10206
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
10207
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
10208
(John Arbash Meinel)
10210
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
10211
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
10212
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
10213
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10215
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
10218
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
10219
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
10220
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
10222
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
10223
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
10225
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
10226
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
10227
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
10229
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
10230
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
10231
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
10232
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
10233
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
10234
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
10235
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
10236
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
10237
caller to repeat their request.
10238
(John Arbash Meinel)
10240
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
10241
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
10243
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
10244
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
10246
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
10247
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
10248
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
10249
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
10250
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
10251
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
10252
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
10254
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
10255
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
10256
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
10257
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
10258
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
10259
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
10260
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
10261
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
10264
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
10265
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
10266
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
10268
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
10269
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
10271
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
10272
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
10274
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
10275
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10280
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
10281
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
10283
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10284
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10285
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10287
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
10288
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
10289
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10294
:Released: 2006-08-29
10298
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
10299
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
10301
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10302
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10303
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
10304
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
10305
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
10307
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
10308
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
10309
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
10311
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
10312
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
10314
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
10315
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
10316
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10321
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
10323
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
10324
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
10325
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
10327
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
10329
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
10331
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
10332
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
10333
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
10334
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
10336
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
10337
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
10338
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
10339
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
10340
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
10342
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
10343
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
10345
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
10346
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
10348
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
10349
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
10351
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
10352
in handling of revision properties.
10353
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
10355
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
10356
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
10361
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
10362
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
10363
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
10364
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
10365
(John Arbash Meinel)
10367
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
10368
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
10369
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
10374
:Released: 2006-08-11
10379
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
10380
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
10381
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
10382
specific one '.bzrignore'.
10383
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
10384
a more conservative list than the old default.
10385
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
10386
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
10387
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
10388
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
10390
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
10391
to more locations than just branch locations.
10397
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
10398
revno:N:branch. For example,
10399
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
10400
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10402
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
10403
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
10404
the path of a file that has been versioned.
10405
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
10406
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10407
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
10408
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
10409
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
10412
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
10413
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
10414
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10417
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
10418
(Alexander Belchenko)
10420
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
10422
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
10425
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
10426
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
10427
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
10428
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
10429
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
10430
(John Arbash Meinel)
10432
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
10433
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
10434
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
10435
grained analysis of performance.
10436
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10438
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
10439
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
10441
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
10442
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
10443
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
10444
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
10445
file. (Robert Collins).
10447
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
10448
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
10449
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
10451
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
10452
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
10455
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
10456
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
10458
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
10459
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
10460
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
10461
the same way you would apply another branch.
10462
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
10464
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
10465
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
10467
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
10470
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
10473
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
10474
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
10475
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
10477
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
10478
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
10479
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
10481
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
10482
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
10484
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
10485
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
10486
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
10487
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
10488
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
10490
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
10491
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
10493
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
10494
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
10495
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
10496
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
10497
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
10498
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
10499
branch is as much as 4x faster.
10500
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
10502
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
10503
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
10504
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
10509
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
10511
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
10513
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
10514
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10516
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
10517
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
10519
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
10520
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
10522
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
10524
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
10525
(John Arbash Meinel)
10527
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
10528
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
10530
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
10531
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
10534
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
10535
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
10537
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
10538
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
10540
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
10541
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
10542
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
10543
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
10545
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
10546
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
10548
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
10550
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
10551
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
10553
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
10555
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
10557
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
10558
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
10560
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
10561
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
10563
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
10564
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
10565
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
10567
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
10568
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
10569
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
10571
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
10572
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
10574
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
10575
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
10577
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
10578
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
10580
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
10581
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
10583
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
10584
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
10586
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
10587
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
10588
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
10590
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
10592
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
10593
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
10598
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
10599
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
10600
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
10602
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
10603
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
10605
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
10606
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
10607
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10609
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
10610
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10612
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
10613
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
10616
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
10617
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
10618
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10620
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
10621
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
10622
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10624
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
10625
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
10626
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
10628
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
10629
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
10630
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
10632
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
10633
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
10634
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
10636
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
10637
instead. (Robert Collins)
10639
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
10644
:Released: 2006-05-17
10649
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
10654
:Released: 2006-05-16
10659
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
10660
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
10662
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
10663
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10665
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
10666
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
10667
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
10672
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
10674
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
10675
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
10677
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
10682
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
10683
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
10684
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
10685
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
10690
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
10691
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
10692
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
10697
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
10698
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
10699
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10704
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
10705
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

10712
Notes When Upgrading
10713
********************
10715
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
10716
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
10717
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
10718
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
10719
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
10720
will keep the same format.
10722
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
10723
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
10724
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
10725
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
10726
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
10728
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
10729
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
10730
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
10731
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
10732
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
10733
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
10734
indicating the current revision of the branch.
10736
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
10737
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
10738
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
10739
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
10740
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
10742
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
10743
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
10744
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
10751
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
10752
convention. Paths now take the form::
10754
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10756
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
10758
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
10759
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
10761
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
10762
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
10763
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
10765
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
10766
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
10767
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
10768
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
10770
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
10771
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
10772
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
10774
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
10776
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
10778
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
10779
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
10782
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
10783
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
10784
| xargs bzr re-sign
10786
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
10788
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
10789
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
10790
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
10793
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
10795
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
10797
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
10800
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
10801
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
10803
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
10804
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
10805
Daniel Silverstone)
10807
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
10808
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
10811
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
10813
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
10815
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
10816
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
10818
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
10819
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
10820
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
10821
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
10822
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
10823
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
10825
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
10827
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
10828
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
10831
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
10832
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
10834
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
10835
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
10837
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
10839
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
10840
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
10841
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
10842
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
10843
specification by Martin Pool.
10844
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
10846
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
10849
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
10850
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10852
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
10853
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
10854
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
10856
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
10858
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
10859
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
10865
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
10866
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10868
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
10870
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
10872
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
10875
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
10876
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
10877
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
10878
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
10883
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
10884
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
10885
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
10886
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10888
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
10889
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
10890
tried. (Martin Pool)
10892
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
10895
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
10897
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
10898
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
10899
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
10901
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
10902
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
10904
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
10905
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
10906
paths. (Robert Collins)
10908
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
10909
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
10910
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
10912
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
10913
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
10914
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
10916
* Progress bars are now nested - see
10917
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
10918
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10920
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
10923
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
10926
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
10928
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
10930
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
10931
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
10932
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
10935
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
10936
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
10938
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
10939
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
10940
check. (Robert Collins)
10942
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
10943
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
10948
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
10949
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
10951
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
10952
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
10953
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
10954
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
10956
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
10957
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
10958
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
10959
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
10960
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
10962
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
10963
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
10964
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
10966
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
10968
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
10969
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
10974
:Released: 2006-01-09
10979
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
10980
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
10982
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
10983
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
10984
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
10987
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
10988
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
10990
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
10991
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
10992
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
10993
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
10994
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
10996
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
10997
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
10998
used. (Robert Collins)
11000
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
11001
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
11004
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
11005
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
11006
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
11008
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
11011
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
11012
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
11017
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
11018
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
11020
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
11022
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
11024
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11025
tree. (Robert Collins)
11027
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
11028
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
11029
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
11032
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
11035
* Tweaks to short log printing
11037
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
11040
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
11041
occurs. (Martin Pool)
11043
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
11044
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
11046
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
11047
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
11049
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
11050
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
11051
settings. (Magnus Therning)
11053
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
11054
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
11056
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
11057
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
11060
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
11061
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
11063
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
11064
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
11066
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
11067
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
11069
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
11072
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
11073
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
11075
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
11076
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
11078
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
11079
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
11080
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
11085
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
11087
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11089
* Error when run with -OO
11091
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
11094
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
11096
* Change status to 3 for all errors
11098
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
11099
ignored by diff and status
11101
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
11102
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
11104
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
11106
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
11108
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
11109
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
11111
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
11112
email address. (Marien Zwart)
11114
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
11117
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
11118
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11120
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
11122
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
11123
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
11125
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
11128
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
11129
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
11131
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
11136
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
11137
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
11139
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11141
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11143
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
11145
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
11146
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
11147
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11149
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11151
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
11152
(John Arbash Meinel)
11154
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
11156
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
11157
If adding a new test script please add that to
11158
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
11160
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
11161
imported. (Martin Pool)
11163
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
11164
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
11165
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
11166
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
11167
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
11170
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
11171
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
11172
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
11174
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
11175
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
11176
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11178
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
11179
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
11180
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
11181
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
11182
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
11185
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
11186
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
11192
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
11193
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
11195
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
11196
function. (Robert Collins)
11198
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
11199
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
11200
if needed). (Robert Collins)
11202
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
11203
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
11206
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
11207
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
11208
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
11209
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
11210
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
11211
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
11212
version. (Robert Collins)
11214
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
11215
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
11217
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
11218
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
11219
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
11220
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
11221
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
11222
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
11224
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
11227
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
11237
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
11239
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
11241
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
11244
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
11245
query method. (Robert Collins)
11247
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
11250
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
11253
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
11256
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
11257
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
11258
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
11259
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
11261
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
11262
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
11263
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
11264
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
11266
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
11267
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
11272
:Released: 2005-10-28
11277
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11280
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11284
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11285
a separator, not ':'.
11288
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11289
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11290
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11292
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11293
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11296
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11297
has been added that suppresses all output.
11299
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11302
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11303
Goffredo Baroncelli.
11305
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
11306
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
11308
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
11309
a revision. (Robert Collins)
11311
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
11312
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
11313
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
11314
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
11316
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
11318
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
11319
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
11321
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
11322
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
11324
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
11325
output directory, if one was supplied.
11327
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
11328
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
11329
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
11330
parameters. (Robert Collins)
11332
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
11334
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
11335
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
11337
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
11338
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
11339
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
11341
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
11342
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
11344
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
11347
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
11349
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
11354
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
11355
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
11356
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
11358
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
11359
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
11360
related questions. (Robert Collins)
11362
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
11363
is given. (Martin Pool)
11365
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
11366
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
11367
file. (Robert Collins)
11369
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
11375
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
11376
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
11377
representation. (Martin Pool).
11379
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
11380
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
11381
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
11383
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11386
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
11387
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
11390
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11391
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
11392
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
11393
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
11394
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
11396
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
11397
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
11398
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
11399
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
11400
python path. (Robert Collins)
11402
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
11403
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
11404
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
11405
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
11407
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
11408
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
11410
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
11411
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
11414
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
11415
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
11416
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
11418
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
11419
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
11420
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
11422
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11423
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11425
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
11426
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
11427
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
11430
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
11431
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
11432
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
11433
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
11436
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
11439
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
11440
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
11443
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
11444
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
11445
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
11447
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
11448
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
11449
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
11451
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
11452
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
11453
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
11455
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11456
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11458
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
11459
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
11460
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
11461
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
11462
caller. (Robert Collins)
11464
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
11465
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
11468
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
11469
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
11472
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
11474
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
11475
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
11480
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
11481
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
11483
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
11484
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
11490
:Released: 2005-10-12
11495
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
11496
allow directories to be listed.
11498
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
11499
upgrading branch format.
11504
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
11510
:Released: 2005-10-11
11515
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
11516
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
11517
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
11518
high-latency connections.
11523
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
11526
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
11527
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
11529
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
11530
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
11531
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
11532
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11534
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
11535
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
11537
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
11538
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
11540
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
11541
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
11542
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11544
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
11545
for files with only a change to their executable status.

bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
11549
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
11550
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
11552
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
11553
different partial views of history.
11555
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
11556
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
11561
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
11562
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
11563
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11565
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
11566
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
11569
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
11570
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
11572
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
11575
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
11576
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
11578
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
11579
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
11580
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
11581
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11583
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
11585
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
11586
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
11589
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
11590
Contributed by Robert Collins.
11592
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
11593
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
11594
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
11600
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
11601
for your viewing pleasure.
11603
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
11604
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
11606
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
11607
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
11608
handling of such circumstances.
11610
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
11611
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
11612
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
11614
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
11616
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
11617
we call them revisions not patches.
11619
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
11620
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
11622
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
11623
giving the revision *of that file*.
11625
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
11626
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
11627
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
11632
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
11633
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
11635
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
11636
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

11647
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
11649
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
11652
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
11654
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
11656
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
11657
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11662
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
11663
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
11665
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
11666
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
11667
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
11668
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
11671
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
11672
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11677
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
11679
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
11680
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
11686
:Released: 2005-09-20
11692
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
11693
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
11694
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
11695
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
11698
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
11701
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
11702
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
11703
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
11704
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
11705
for the operating system is still tried.
11707
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
11708
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
11709
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
11715
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
11720
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
11722
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
11725
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
11732
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
11734
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

:Released: 2005-09-02
11745
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
11746
help with intelligent shell completion.
11748
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
11754
* Much better merge support.
11756
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
11757
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
11764
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
11765
mention revisions that are not present.
11767
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
11769
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
11771
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
11772
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
11778
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
11780
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
11781
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
11788
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
11789
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

:Released: 2005-08-18
11802
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
11803
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
11805
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
11807
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
11808
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
11810
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
11813
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
11815
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
11818
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
11819
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
11821
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
11822
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
11823
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
11829
* Faster working tree operations.
11835
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
11836
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
11837
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
11838
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
11840
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
11841
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
11842
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
11843
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
11844
standard plugins directory.
11846
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
11847
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
11848
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
11849
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
11851
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
11852
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
11854
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
11857
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
11858
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
11859
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
11861
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
11862
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
11864
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
11865
line options must come before the command name because they
11866
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
11867
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
11870
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
11872
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
11873
is available with ``--short``.
11879
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
11885
:Released: 2005-06-15
11890
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
11891
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11893
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
11894
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
11895
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
11896
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
11898
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
11899
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
11900
with the ``--forward`` option.
11902
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
11903
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
11910
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
11911
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
11913
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
11915
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11916
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
11918
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
11920
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
11921
either read or write mode.
11923
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
11925
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
11926
affected that file.
11928
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
11930
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
11931
suggested by LarstiQ.
11933
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
11934
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
11936
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
11939
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
11940
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
11942
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
11943
haven't changed since the previous time.
11945
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
11946
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
11948
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
11950
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
11952
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
11953
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
11955
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
11956
options through to an external GNU diff.
11958
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
11961
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
11968
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
11969
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
11971
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
11978
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
11979
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
11982
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
11983
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
11985
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
11986
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
11988
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
11989
under a different version.
11991
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
11997
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
11999
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
12000
Scott James Remnant.
12002
* Better help messages for many commands.
12004
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
12005
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
12007
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
12008
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
12010
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
12012
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
12014
* New AtomicFile class.
12016
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
12022
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.

12035
basic. Patch from QuantumG.

* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
12040

12042
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
12044
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch

* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
12053
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
12054
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
12055
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
12056
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
12057
there are DNS problems.
12059
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
12065
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
12067
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.

12166
rather than replacing it.
