.. contents:: List of Releases
19
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
20
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
23
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
24
(Martin Pool, #391411)
29
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
30
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
31
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
33
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
34
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
35
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
36
(Martin Pool, #123688)
38
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
39
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
40
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
41
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
43
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
44
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
46
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
47
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
48
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
49
(Robert Collins, #282402)
51
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
52
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
54
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
55
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
57
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
58
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
59
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
61
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
62
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
63
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
64
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
65
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
67
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
68
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
69
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
71
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
72
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
73
(Martin Pool, #408201)
75
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
76
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
77
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
79
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
80
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
82
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
83
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
85
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
86
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
88
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
89
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
90
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
92
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
93
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
94
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
96
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
97
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
99
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
100
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
101
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
102
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
103
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
104
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
106
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
107
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
108
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
110
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
111
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
112
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
113
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
114
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
116
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
117
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
118
(Robert Collins, #187207)
123
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
126
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
127
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
128
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
129
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
131
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
132
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
139
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
144
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
145
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
146
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
147
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
148
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
149
passwords. (Martin Pool)
151
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
154
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
157
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
164
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
165
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
166
paths. (Robert Collins)
168
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
169
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
171
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
172
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
173
disk. (Robert Collins)
175
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
181
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
182
(Martin Pool, #408199)
184
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
185
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
186
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
187
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
188
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
189
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.17 "So late it's brunch" 2009-07-20
193
#########################################
194
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
199
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
200
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
203
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
204
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
205
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
206
annoying progress bar artifacts.
209
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
210
*********************************
212
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
213
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
214
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
216
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
217
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
218
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
220
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
221
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
227
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
228
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
229
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
230
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
236
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
237
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
238
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
239
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
241
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
242
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
243
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
245
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
246
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
247
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
251
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
252
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
253
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
254
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
260
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
261
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
263
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
264
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
265
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
266
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
268
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
269
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
271
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
272
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
273
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
275
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
276
(Martin Pool, #321935)
278
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
279
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
281
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
282
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
284
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
285
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
286
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
288
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
291
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
292
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
294
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
295
of a remote repository.
296
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
298
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
299
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
302
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
304
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
306
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
307
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
309
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
310
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
312
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
313
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
314
(Martin Pool, #339385)
316
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
317
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
318
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
319
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
322
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
323
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
324
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
326
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
327
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
328
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
329
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
330
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
331
(Robert Collins, #376243)
333
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
334
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
335
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
336
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
337
activity display respectively.
338
(Martin Pool, #340347)
340
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
341
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
343
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
346
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
347
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
353
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
354
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
355
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
356
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
358
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
359
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
360
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
361
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
364
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
365
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
367
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
368
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
369
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
370
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
371
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
372
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
374
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
375
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
376
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
377
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
379
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
380
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
381
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
385
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
386
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
387
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
388
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
394
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
395
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
396
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
397
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
399
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
400
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
401
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
403
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
406
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
407
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
409
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
410
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
411
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
413
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
414
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
415
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
416
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
418
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
424
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
425
formatting in the user reference.
426
(Martin Pool, #249908)
428
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
434
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
437
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
438
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
439
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
442
bzr 1.16.1 2009-06-26
443
#####################
445
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
446
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
447
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
450
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
451
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
452
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
454
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
455
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
460
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
461
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
463
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
464
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
465
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
467
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
468
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
469
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
470
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
471
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
472
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
473
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
475
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
476
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
477
converted data. (Robert Collins)
479
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
480
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
481
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
483
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
484
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
485
that. (Robert Collins)
487
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
488
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
489
repository. (Robert Collins)
491
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
492
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
493
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
494
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

bzr 1.16 "It's yesterday in California" 2009-06-18
499
##################################################
500
:Codename: yesterday-in-california
504
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
505
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
506
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
507
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
509
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
510
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
511
bug fixes and improvements.
514
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
515
*********************************
517
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
518
2a can work correctly.
519
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
521
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
522
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
523
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
529
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
530
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
531
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
537
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
538
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
539
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
540
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
541
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
542
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
545
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
546
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
547
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
548
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
550
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
551
and more concisely repacks the full history.
553
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
554
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
556
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
557
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
558
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
560
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
561
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
567
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
568
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
569
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
571
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
572
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
573
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
574
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
575
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
577
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
578
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
579
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
580
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
582
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
583
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
589
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
590
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
591
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
592
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
598
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
599
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
601
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
602
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
604
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
605
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
606
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
608
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
609
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
611
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
612
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
613
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
615
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
616
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
617
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
620
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
621
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
623
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
624
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
626
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
627
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
629
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
630
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
631
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
632
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
633
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
634
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
636
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
638
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
639
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
641
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
642
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
644
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
645
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
646
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
647
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
648
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
650
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
651
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
652
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
653
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
658
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
659
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
665
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
667
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
668
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
669
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
671
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
672
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
673
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
675
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
676
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
678
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
679
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
684
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
685
repositories. (Martin Pool)
690
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
692
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
694
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
703
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
704
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
705
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
706
revisions introduce the exact same line.

*********************************
717
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a

This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
720
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
722
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
723
*********************************
730
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
731
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
732
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
733
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
738
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
739
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
742
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
743
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
744
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
745
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
747
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
748
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
749
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
750
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
752
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
753
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
756
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
757
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
758
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
763
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
764
server. (Jonathan Lange)
766
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
767
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
769
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
770
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
771
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
773
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
778
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
779
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
781
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
783
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
784
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
786
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
787
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
789
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
790
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
792
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
793
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
794
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
795
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
797
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
800
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
801
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
803
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
804
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
806
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
807
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
809
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
810
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
812
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
813
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
815
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
816
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
818
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
819
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
820
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
821
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
822
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
823
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
824
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
825
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
826
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
827
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
828
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
829
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
830
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
831
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
833
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
834
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
835
(Robert Collins, #368921)
837
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
838
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
846
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
847
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
848
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
850
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
851
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
852
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
853
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
854
(Alexander Belchenko)
859
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
860
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
861
encoding. (Robert Collins)
863
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
864
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
867
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
868
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
869
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
870
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
871
configuration. (Robert Collins)
873
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
874
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
875
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
877
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
878
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
879
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
880
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
882
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
883
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
884
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
886
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
887
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
888
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
889
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
891
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
892
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
893
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
895
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
896
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
898
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
899
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
900
branches. (Robert Collins)
902
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
903
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
905
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
910
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
911
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

964
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
965
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
966
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
967
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
968
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
970
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
971
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
972
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
974
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
975
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
976
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
977
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
978
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
983
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
984
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
985
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
986
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
987
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
990
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
993
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
994
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
996
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
997
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
998
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
999
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1000
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1002
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1003
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1005
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1008
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1009
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1010
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1011
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1014
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1015
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1016
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1017
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1018
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1020
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1021
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1024
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1030
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1031
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1032
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1034
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1035
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1036
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1037
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1038
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1040
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1041
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1044
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1045
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1046
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1048
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1051
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1054
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1055
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1057
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1058
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1060
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1061
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1063
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1064
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1067
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1068
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1069
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1071
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1072
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1073
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1076
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1077
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1078
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1079
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1081
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1082
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1083
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1084
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1085
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1086
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1087
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1088
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,

* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1097
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1098
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1099
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1100
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids

(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1108
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1109
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1110
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1111
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1113
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log

* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1121
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a

1125
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1126

1132
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1133
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1135
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1136
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1137
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1138
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1140
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1142
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1143
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1145
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1146
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1147
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1148
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1149
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1151
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1152
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1153
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its

This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1159
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1160
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1162
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1163
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1166
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1167
(James Westby, #341558)
1169
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1170
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1172
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1173
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1178
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1180
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1182
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1183
(James Westby, #336998)
1188
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1191
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1192
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1195
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1196
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1199
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1200
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1201
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1203
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1204
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1205
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1207
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1208
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1209
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1210
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1213
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1214
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1217
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1220
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1221
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1223
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1224
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1225
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1226
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1228
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1229
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1230
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1235
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1236
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1237
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1238
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1239
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1241
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1244
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1245
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1246
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1247
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1253
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1254
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1256
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1257
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1259
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1260
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1261
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1263
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1264
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1265
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1266
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1268
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1269
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1270
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1271
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1273
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1274
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1275
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1277
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1278
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1279
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1281
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1282
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1283
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1285
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1286
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1289
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1290
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1291
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1293
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1294
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1296
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1297
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1298
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1300
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1301
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1304
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1305
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1306
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1308
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1309
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1310
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1311
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1312
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1314
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1315
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1316
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1317
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1319
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1320
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1321
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1322
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1324
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1325
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1326
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1328
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1329
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1332
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1333
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1334
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1336
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1337
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1338
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1339
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1340
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1342
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1343
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1344
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1347
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1348
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1349
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1350
desired. (Robert Collins)
1352
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1353
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1354
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1355
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1357
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1358
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1359
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
1360

:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
1371
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
1372
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
1373
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
1375
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1376
*****************************
1378
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1379
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1380
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1381
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1382
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1383
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1389
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1390
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1391
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1393
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1394
********************************
1396
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1397
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1398
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1403
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1404
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1406
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1407
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1409
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1410
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1412
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1414
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1415
*********************************
1417
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1418
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1419
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1421
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1422
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1424
Compatibility Breaks
1425
********************
1427
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1428
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1429
command may need to be adjusted.
1430
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1435
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1436
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1437
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1439
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1442
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1443
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1444
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1447
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1448
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1450
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1451
(John Arbash Meinel)
1453
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1454
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1456
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1458
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1459
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1462
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1468
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1469
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1470
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1471
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1472
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1473
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1474
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1475
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1478
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1479
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1481
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1482
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1483
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1485
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1486
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1488
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1489
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1490
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1493
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1494
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1495
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1497
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1498
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1499
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1500
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1502
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1505
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1506
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1508
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1509
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1511
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1512
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1513
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1515
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1520
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1521
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1523
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1524
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1525
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1527
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1528
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1529
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1531
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1532
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1534
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1535
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1538
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1539
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1540
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1542
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1543
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1545
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1546
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1548
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1549
(James Westby, #174539)
1551
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1552
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1554
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1555
error branching from old repositories.
1556
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1558
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1559
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1561
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1562
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1563
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1564
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1566
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1567
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1570
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1571
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1573
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1574
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1576
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1577
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1578
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1580
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1581
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1583
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1584
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1589
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1590
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1591
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1594
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1595
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1597
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1598
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1603
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1604
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1605
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1606
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1607
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1609
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1610
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1612
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1613
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1614
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1615
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1616
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1617
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1619
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1620
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1622
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1623
"author" argument being deprecated.
1625
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1627
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1628
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1629
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1630
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1632
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1633
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1634
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1636
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1637
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1638
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1640
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1641
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1643
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1644
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1645
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1646
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1651
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1652
free of virtual file system methods.
1653
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1655
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1656
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1657
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1659
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1660
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1661
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1662
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1663
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1664
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1666
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1668
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1669
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1671
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1672
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1673
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1674
stream the operation.
1675
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1677
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1678
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1680
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1681
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1682
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1683
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1684
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1686
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1687
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1689
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1690
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1691
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1693
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1694
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1697
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1700
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1701
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1702
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1704
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1705
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1706
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1708
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1709
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1710
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1712
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1713
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1714
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1716
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1717
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1718
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1719
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1720
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1722
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1723
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1724
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1725
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1726
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1727
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1729
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1730
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1731
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1732
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1733
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1735
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1736
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1738
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1739
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1741
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1742
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1743
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1744
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1745
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1747
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1748
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

1759
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1760
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1761
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1762
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1763
by showing the rate of network IO.
1765
Changes from RC1 to Final
1766
*************************
1768
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1769
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1771
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1772
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1774
Compatibility Breaks
1775
********************
1777
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1778
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1779
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1780
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1782
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1783
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1784
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1787
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1788
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1789
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1790
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1792
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1793
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1794
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1797
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1802
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1803
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1804
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1807
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1808
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1809
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1811
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1812
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1813
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1814
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1815
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1816
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1817
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1818
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1819
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1825
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1828
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1831
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1832
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1833
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1835
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1836
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1837
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1838
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1839
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1841
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1842
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1844
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1845
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1846
level for better precision.
1849
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1850
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1852
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1853
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1854
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1856
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1857
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1858
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1861
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1862
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1863
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1868
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1870
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1872
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1873
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1874
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1876
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1877
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1878
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1879
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1880
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1881
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1883
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1884
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1886
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1887
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1889
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1890
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1891
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1893
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1894
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1895
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1898
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1899
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1901
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1902
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1903
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1904
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1906
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1907
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1909
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1911
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1916
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1921
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1922
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1925
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1926
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1928
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1929
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1931
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1932
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1934
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1935
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1936
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1937
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1939
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1940
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1941
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
1946
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1947
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1948
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1949
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1950
compile buffers, are such an example).
1953
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1954
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1957
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1958
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1959
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1962
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1963
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1965
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
1966
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
1973
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1974
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1975
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1976
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1977
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1979
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1980
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
1983
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
1984
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
1989
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
1992
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
1993
(John Arbash Meinel)
1997
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
1998
#################################
2003
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2004
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2009
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2010
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2012
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2013
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2014
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2015
implement other plugins.
2018
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2024
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2025
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2027
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2028
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2030
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2031
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2032
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2033
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2036
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2037
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2038
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2039
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2040
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2042
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2043
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2044
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2045
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2046
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2051
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2052
control directory. (#139691)
2054
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2055
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2057
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2058
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2060
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2061
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2062
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2064
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2065
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2067
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2068
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2069
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2071
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2072
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2074
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2077
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2078
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2079
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2081
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2082
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2084
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2085
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2086
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2088
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2089
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2090
in the appropriate sections.
2091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2093
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2094
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2095
(John Arbash meinel)
2097
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2100
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2103
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2104
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2106
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2107
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2108
work better with how it splits its requests.
2109
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2111
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2112
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2113
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2115
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2118
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2120
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2123
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2129
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2130
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2131
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2137
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2138
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2139
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2140
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2142
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2143
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2145
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2146
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2147
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2148
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2150
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2151
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2152
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2153
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2158
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2159
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2160
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2162
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2163
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2164
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2165
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2167
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2168
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2169
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2175
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2176
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2177
(John Arbash Meinel)
2179
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2180
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2181
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2182
(John Arbash Meinel)
2184
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2185
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2186
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2187
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2189
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2190
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2191
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2193
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2194
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2195
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2196
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2198
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2199
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2200
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2201
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2202
(John Arbash Meinel)
2204
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2205
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2207
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2208
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2209
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2211
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2212
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2213
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2214
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2216
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2217
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2218
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2219
(John Arbash Meinel)
2221
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2222
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2223
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2224
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2225
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2226
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2227
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2229
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2230
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2237
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2238
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2239
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2240
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2243
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2248
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2249
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2250
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2251
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2253
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2254
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2255
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2256
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2257
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
2260
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
2261
######################
2263
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2264
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2265
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2266
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2267
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2272
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2273
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2275
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2281
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2282
history just to set the last revision info.
2283
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2285
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2286
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2287
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2288
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2290
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2291
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2292
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2293
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2294
(John Arbash Meinel)
2296
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2297
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2299
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2300
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2301
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2302
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2303
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2305
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2306
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2307
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2308
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2313
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2314
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2316
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2317
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2319
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2320
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2321
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2322
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2324
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2325
starting with a dotted revno.
2326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2328
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2329
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2330
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2332
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2333
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2334
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2336
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2337
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2338
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2340
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2341
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2342
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2343
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2345
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2346
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2347
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2349
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2350
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2355
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2356
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2357
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2358
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2360
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2361
have changed incompatibly.
2363
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2364
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2365
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2366
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2367
don't need to change.
2369
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2370
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2375
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2376
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2378
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2384
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2385
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2386
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2387
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2388
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2389
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2394
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2395
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2397
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2399
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2400
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
2410
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2411
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2413
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2414
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2415
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2416
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2421
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2422
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2423
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2424
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2425
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2426
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2428
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2429
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2431
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2432
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2433
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2435
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2436
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2437
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2440
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2441
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2443
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2444
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2446
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2447
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2449
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2450
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2451
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2452
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2453
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2454
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2455
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2456
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2457
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2458
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2463
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2464
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2466
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2467
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2469
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2470
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2471
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2473
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2474
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2475
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2477
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2478
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2479
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2481
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2482
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2483
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2484
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2485
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2486
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2488
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2489
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2491
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2492
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2494
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2495
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2496
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2497
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2498
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2500
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2501
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2502
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2503
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2508
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2513
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2518
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2519
configuration of authetication credentials.
2525
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2526
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2527
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2528
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2529
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2534
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2535
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2540
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2541
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
2544
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07

#####################
2550
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2551
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2552
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2553
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2554
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2556
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2557
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2559
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2560
server. (Marius Kruger)
2562
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2563
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2564
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2565
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2566
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2567
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2572
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2573
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2574
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2581
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2582
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2583
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2584
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2586
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2587
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2590
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2591
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2594
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2597
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2599
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2600
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2602
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2603
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2605
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2606
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2607
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2608
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2609
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2610
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2611
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2612
operations. (Robert Collins)
2614
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2616
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2617
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2618
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2623
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2624
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2625
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2627
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2628
repository now preserves the repository format.
2629
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2631
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2634
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2637
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2639
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2641
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2644
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2645
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2646
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2648
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2649
is in a different repository than the current one.
2650
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
2652
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2653
(David Futcher, #242106)
2655
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2656
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2658
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2659
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2660
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2661
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2663
* Trivial documentation fix.
2664
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2666
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2667
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2668
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2669
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2674
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2679
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2680
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2681
to use. (Robert Collins)
2683
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2684
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2685
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2687
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2688
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2689
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2690
they want. (Robert Collins)
2695
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2696
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2697
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2699
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2700
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2703
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2706
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2707
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2709
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2715
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2716
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2718
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2719
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2720
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2722
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2723
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2724
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2726
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2727
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2729
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2730
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2732
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2733
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2735
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2736
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2737
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2738
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
2753
file paths when we encounter complex history.
2758
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2759
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2760
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
2761
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
2769
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
2770
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
2771
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
2772
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
2773
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
2825
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
2826
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
2827
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
2829
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
2830
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
2831
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
2836
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
2837
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
2839
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2844
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2845
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2848
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2849
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2851
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2852
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2855
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2856
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2857
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.

* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2861
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2863
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2864
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2865
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2866
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2867
(John Arbash Meinel)
2869
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2870
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2871
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2872
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2873
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2874
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2875
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2876
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2877
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2878
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2883
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2884
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2886
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2887
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2888
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2890
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2891
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2892
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2894
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2895
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2896
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2897
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2898
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2899
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2901
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2902
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2904
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2905
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2907
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2908
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2909
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2910
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2911
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2912
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2914
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2915
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2917
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2918
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2920
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2921
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2922
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2923
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2925
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2926
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2928
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2929
assuming the host name is ascii.
2930
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2932
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
2933
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
2938
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2943
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
2945
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
2946
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
2947
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
2950
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
2951
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2953
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
2954
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2956
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
2957
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2962
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
2963
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
2964
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2965
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
2967
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
2971
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
2972
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
2973
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2975
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
2981
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
2982
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
2985
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
2986
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
2987
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
2988
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
2989
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2991
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
2992
is unknown in both source and target.
2993
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
2995
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
2996
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
2997
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
2998
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3000
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3001
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3002
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3003
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
3009
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3010
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3011
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3014
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
3015
#######################
3020
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3021
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3022
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3023
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3026
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
3027
#######################
3029
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3030
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3031
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3032
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3033
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3034
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3035
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3036
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3037
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3038
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3039
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3040
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3045
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3046
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3047
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3048
start of the string (causing more copies).
3049
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3050
especially for projects with large files.
3051
(John Arbash Meinel)
3053
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3054
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3055
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3056
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3057
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3059
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3060
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3061
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3062
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3063
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
3064
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
3070
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3071
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3072
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3073
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3074
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3075
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3076
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3077
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3078
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3081
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
3082
#####################
3087
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3088
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3089
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3090
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3091
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3094
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
3095
#####################
3100
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3101
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3102
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3105
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
3106
#####################
3111
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3112
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3118
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3119
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3120
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3126
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3127
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3128
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3130
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3131
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3132
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3133
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3134
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3135
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3136
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3139
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
3140
#####################
3142
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3148
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3149
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3151
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3152
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3155
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3156
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3157
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3158
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3159
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3161
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3162
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3164
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3165
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3167
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3168
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3170
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3171
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3172
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3173
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3174
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3175
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3178
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
3179
#####################
3181
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3182
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3183
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3184
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3185
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3190
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3191
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3192
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3197
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3198
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3200
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3201
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3203
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3204
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3205
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3207
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3210
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3211
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3212
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3213
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3214
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3215
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3216
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3218
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3219
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3220
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3225
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3226
physical repository boundaries.
3227
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3229
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3230
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3232
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3233
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3236
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3239
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3240
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3241
that Python is running from.
3242
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3244
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3245
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3246
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3248
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3249
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3251
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3252
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3253
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3255
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3256
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3258
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3259
(James Westby, #248448)
3264
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3265
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3266
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3269
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3270
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3273
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3274
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3275
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3276
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3277
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3278
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3281
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3282
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3284
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3285
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3286
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3287
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3288
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3289
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3294
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3295
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3296
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3297
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3298
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3299
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3301
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3302
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3303
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3305
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3308
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3309
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3311
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
3318
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3319
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3320
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3321
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3327
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3328
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3329
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3331
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3332
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3333
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3334
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3335
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3338
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3340
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3341
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3342
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3348
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3349
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3352
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3353
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3354
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3355
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3357
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3358
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3359
(Christophe Troestler)
3361
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3362
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3364
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3365
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3366
faster. The new request method name is
3367
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3372
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3373
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3374
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3375
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3376
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3378
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3379
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3381
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3382
requires a branch to be present.
3383
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3385
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3387
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3389
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3390
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3391
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3392
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3394
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3395
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3397
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3399
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3401
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3402
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3403
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3404
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3405
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3407
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3408
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3410
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3411
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3413
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3415
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3417
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3418
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3420
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3421
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3426
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3429
* Updated developer documentation.
3435
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3436
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3438
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3439
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3440
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3441
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3446
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3447
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3448
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3449
Repository docstring for more details.
3452
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3453
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3454
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3456
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3457
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3460
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3461
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3462
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3463
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3468
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3469
(Alexander Belchenko)
3471
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3472
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3473
containing a given location.
3476
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3477
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3478
storage. (Robert Collins)
3480
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3483
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3484
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

#######################
3491
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
3492
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
3493
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
3499
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
3500
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
3501
reading from the repository.)
3502
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
3504
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3505
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3507
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
3508
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
3511
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
3512
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
3513
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
3515
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
3516
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
3517
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
3519
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
3520
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
3522
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
3523
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
3524
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
3525
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
3530
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
3532
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
3533
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
3534
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
3537
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
3538
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
3543
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3548
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3549
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3554
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3555
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3556
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3557
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3558
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3560
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3561
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3566
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3567
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3569
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3570
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
3573
#######################
3576
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
3577
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3578
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3579
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
3580
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
3581
and future extensions.
3584
Notes When Upgrading
3585
********************
3587
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3588
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3589
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3590
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3591
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3592
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3593
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
3594
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
3599
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3600
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
3601
(John Arbash Meinel)
3606
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
3607
load. (James Westby)
3612
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3613
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3614
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3615
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3617
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3618
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3619
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3621
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3622
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3624
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3625
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3626
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3628
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3629
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3630
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3631
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3632
step closer to not using full revision history.
3633
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
3638
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3639
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3641
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3642
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3644
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3645
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3647
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3648
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3649
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3650
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3652
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3653
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3654
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3655
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3657
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3658
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3659
in use by another process.
3662
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3663
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3664
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3665
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3667
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3668
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3670
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3671
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3674
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3675
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3678
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3682
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3683
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3685
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3686
under vim on Mac OS X.
3687
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3689
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3690
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3695
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3696
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3698
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3699
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3702
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3703
and about use of Python reprs.
3704
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3706
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3711
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3714
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3715
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3717
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3718
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3723
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3724
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3725
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3726
(John Arbash Meinel)
3731
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3732
instead. (Martin Pool)
3734
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3735
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3736
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3737
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3739
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3740
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3741
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3742
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3743
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3745
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3746
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3747
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3748
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3749
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3750
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3752
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3753
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3756
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3757
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3760
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3761
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3762
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3763
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3765
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3766
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3767
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3769
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3770
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3771
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3772
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3773
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3776
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3777
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3778
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3779
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3782
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3783
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3784
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3785
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3786
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3788
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
3795
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
3796
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
3797
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
3802
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
3803
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
3804
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3809
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3810
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

#####################
3820
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
3821
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
3822
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
3823
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
3828
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3829
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3831
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3832
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
3834
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
3840
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3841
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3843
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3844
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3846
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3847
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3848
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3850
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3851
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3852
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
3854
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
3857
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
3858
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
3860
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
3861
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
3863
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
3864
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
3866
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
3867
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3869
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3870
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
3871
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
3873
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
3874
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
3876
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3877
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3879
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3880
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3881
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3882
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3884
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
3885
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3888
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3889
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
3890
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3892
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3893
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3894
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3895
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3896
every revision each side had in common.
3897
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3899
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
3900
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
3902
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
3903
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
3904
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
3905
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
3910
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
3911
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
3912
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
3913
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
3915
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
3917
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
3919
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
3920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
3925
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
3926
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
3927
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
3929
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
3930
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
3931
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
3932
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3934
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
3935
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3937
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
3938
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
3939
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
3940
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3942
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
3943
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
3944
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
3945
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3950
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
3951
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
3952
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
3954
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
3956
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
3957
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
3959
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3960
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3962
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
3963
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
3968
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
3969
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
3970
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
3972
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
3973
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
3974
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
3977
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
3978
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
3981
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
3988
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
3989
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
3990
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
3991
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
3992
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
3993
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
3994
and faster performance.
3999
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4000
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the

4035
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
4037
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
4038
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
4040
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
4041
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4042
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4044
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4045
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4046
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4047
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4048
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4049
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4052
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4053
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4054
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4055
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4060
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4062
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4063
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4064
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4066
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4067
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4068
See the User Reference for signature details.
4069
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4071
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4072
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4077
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4078
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4079
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4080
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4082
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4083
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4085
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4086
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4087
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4090
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4093
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4094
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4095
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4097
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4100
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4101
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4103
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4104
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4106
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4107
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4108
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4110
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4111
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4112
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4113
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4114
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4116
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4117
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4119
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4120
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4125
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4126
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4127
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4128
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4129
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4130
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4132
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4133
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4135
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4136
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4137
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4139
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4140
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4142
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4143
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4144
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4145
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4147
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4148
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4149
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4150
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4151
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4153
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4155
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4156
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4158
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4160
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4161
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4163
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4164
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4169
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4171
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4173
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4175
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4180
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4181
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4182
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4184
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4185
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4186
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4187
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4189
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4190
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4191
release. (James Westby)
4193
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4196
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4198
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4199
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4201
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4202
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4204
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4205
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4207
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4208
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4209
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4211
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4212
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4213
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4214
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4216
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4217
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4218
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4219
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4221
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4222
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4223
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4224
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4225
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4226
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4228
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4229
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4230
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4232
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4233
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4235
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4236
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4239
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4240
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4242
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4243
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4245
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4246
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4248
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4249
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4250
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4252
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4253
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4254
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4255
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4256
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4257
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4262
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4263
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4264
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4265
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4267
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4268
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4269
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4270
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4274
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4275
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4278
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4279
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4281
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4283
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4284
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4285
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4290
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4292
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4295
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4296
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4297
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4298
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4299
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4300
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4302
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4303
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4305
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4306
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4307
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4308
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4310
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4311
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4313
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4314
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4356
********************
4358
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4359
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4364
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4365
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4366
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4367
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4370
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4371
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4372
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4373
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4374
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4375
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4377
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4378
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4379
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4380
(Alexander Belchenko)
4382
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4384
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4385
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4390
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4391
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4393
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4394
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4400
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4402
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4404
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4405
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4406
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4408
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4409
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4411
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4412
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4414
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4415
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4416
(Alexander Belchenko)
4418
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4419
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4420
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4421
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4423
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4426
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4427
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4428
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4429
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4430
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4435
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4436
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4437
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4438
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4440
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4441
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4443
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4444
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
4446
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4447
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
4448
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
4450
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
4451
(#198793, John Ferlito)
4453
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4456
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4457
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4459
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4461
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4463
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4464
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4466
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4467
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4469
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4470
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4472
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4473
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4475
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4476
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4478
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4479
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4484
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4485
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4490
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4491
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4492
(Alexander Belchenko)
4497
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4499
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4500
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4506
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4507
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4508
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4510
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
4511
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
4512
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4513
(Alexander Belchenko)
4515
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4516
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4517
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4518
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4520
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4521
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
4522
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
4525
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
4526
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
4527
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4529
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4530
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4531
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4533
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4534
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4535
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4536
format. (Robert Collins)
4545
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

4551
Notes When Upgrading
4552
********************
4554
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4555
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4556
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4557
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4558
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4564
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4565
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4567
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4568
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4569
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4571
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4572
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4573
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4574
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4575
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4576
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4582
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4583
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4585
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4586
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4587
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4590
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4591
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4592
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4593
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4594
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4596
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4597
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4598
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4599
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4600
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4601
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4602
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4603
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4608
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4609
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4611
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4612
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4614
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4615
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4617
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4618
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4619
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4621
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4622
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4623
(John Arbash Meinel)
4628
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4629
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4631
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4632
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4634
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4635
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4637
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4638
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4639
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4641
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4642
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4643
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4645
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4646
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4648
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4649
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4650
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4651
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4652
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4654
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4656
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4657
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4660
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4661
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4663
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4664
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4666
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4667
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4669
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4670
more characters which should be considered valid.
4671
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4673
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4674
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4676
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4677
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4682
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4683
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4685
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4686
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4692
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4693
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4699
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4700
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4701
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4703
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4704
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4705
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4707
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4708
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4709
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4710
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4712
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4714
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4715
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4716
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4717
server. (Robert Collins)
4719
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4720
operate. (Robert Collins)
4722
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4723
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4724
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4726
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4727
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4728
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4729
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4731
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4732
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4734
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4735
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4736
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4738
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4739
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4741
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4742
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4744
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4745
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4746
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4747
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

4761
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4762
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4763
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4764
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4766
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4767
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4768
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4769
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
4774
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
4777
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.

* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
4781
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)

4791
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4793
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4795
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4796
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4797
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4798
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4799
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4801
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4802
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4803
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
4805
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if

needed. (Aaron Bentley)
4808
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.

* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
4815
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.

repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
4836
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
4837
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)

* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
4840
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)

* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
4843
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)

4846
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.

* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
4877
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be

(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
4888
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
4891
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
4892
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
4893
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
4894

support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4919
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
4928
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
4929

Notes When Upgrading
5105
********************
5107
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5108
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5109
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5110
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5112
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5113
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5115
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5116
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5118
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5119
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5120
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5121
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5122
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5123
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5124
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5125
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5126
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5127
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5128
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5129
from any tree without problems.
5130
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5135
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5136
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5137
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5139
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5140
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5146
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5147
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5148
supported transports.
5151
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5152
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5153
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5155
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5156
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5158
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5159
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5160
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5161
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5163
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5164
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5169
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5170
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5171
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5172
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5174
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5175
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5176
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5177
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5179
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5180
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5182
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5183
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5185
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5186
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5188
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5189
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5195
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5198
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5199
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5202
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5203
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5204
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5205
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5207
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5208
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5209
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5210
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5218
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5219
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5221
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5222
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5224
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5225
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5227
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5230
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.

5233
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

5236
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.

5245
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5246
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5249
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5250
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
5252
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5253
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5255
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5256
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5258
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5261
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5262
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5263
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5264
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5266
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5268
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5269
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5270
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5272
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
5273
(Robert Collins, #161240)
5275
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
5277
(Martin Pool, #164443)
5279
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5280
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5282
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5283
specify a port in urls.
5284
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5286
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5287
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5289
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
5290
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5292
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5293
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5295
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5296
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5298
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5299
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5300
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5302
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5304
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5305
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5307
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5310
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.

5313
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5314
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5316
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5317
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5318
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5320
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5321
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5323
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5324
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5325
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5326
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5328
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5329
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5331
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5332
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5333
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5335
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5336
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5338
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5341
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5347
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5348
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5350
* The return value of
5351
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5352
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5353
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5354
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5356
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5359
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5360
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5367
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5368
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5369
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5372
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5373
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5375
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

######################
5393
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5394
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5396
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5397
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5398
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5399
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5400
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5401
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5402
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5403
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5404
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5405
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5406
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5407
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5413
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5414
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5415
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5416
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5417
commands. (Robert Collins)
5419
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5420
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5421
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5424
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5426
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5427
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5429
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5430
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5433
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5434
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5435
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5440
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5441
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5443
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5444
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5446
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5447
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5448
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5449
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5451
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5454
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5455
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5456
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5457
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5459
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5460
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5462
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5463
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5465
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5466
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5468
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5469
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5474
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5475
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5477
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5478
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5480
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5481
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5483
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5484
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5486
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5487
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5492
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5494
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5500
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5501
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5502
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5504
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5505
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5507
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5508
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5510
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5511
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5512
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5513
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5515
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5516
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5517
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5518
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5519
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5521
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5522
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5524
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5526
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5528
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5529
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5531
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5532
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5534
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5537
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5538
contains a symbolic link.
5539
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5541
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5542
(James Westby, #140615)
5544
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5545
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5548
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5549
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5550
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5552
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5554
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5555
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5557
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5559
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5561
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5562
directory to detect leaking tests.
5563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5565
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5566
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5567
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5569
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5572
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5573
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5575
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5581
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5582
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5584
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5585
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5586
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5588
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5589
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5590
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5592
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5593
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5595
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5596
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5598
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5599
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5602
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5603
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5605
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5606
class that needs it.
5609
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5610
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5612
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5613
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5614
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5616
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5617
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5618
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5621
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5622
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5623
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5624
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5630
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5631
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5632
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5634
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5635
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5636
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5637
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5639
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5640
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5643
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5644
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5645
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5647
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5648
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5649
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5651
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5652
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5654
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5655
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5656
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5658
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5659
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5661
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5662
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5663
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5665
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5666
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5667
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5669
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5670
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5671
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5672
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5674
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5675
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5676
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5677
returned. (Robert Collins)
5679
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5680
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5682
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5683
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5684
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5685
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5688
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5689
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5694
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5695
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5697
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5698
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5699
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5700
makes this behavior available to other users.
5703
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5704
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5713
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5714
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5715
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5717
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5719
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5720
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5721
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5722
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5724
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5725
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5729
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5730
######################
5732
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5733
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5736
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5737
######################
5742
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5743
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5744
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5745
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5748
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5749
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5750
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5756
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5757
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5758
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5761
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5762
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5763
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5765
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5766
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5767
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5769
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5770
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5772
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5773
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5774
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5775
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5776
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5777
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5778
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5779
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5780
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5781
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5783
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5784
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5786
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5787
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5788
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5793
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5794
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5796
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5797
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5798
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5800
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5801
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5803
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5804
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5806
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5809
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5810
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5812
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5813
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5815
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5816
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5818
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.

* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5826
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5827
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5828
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5829
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5831
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5833
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5834
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5837
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5838
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5840
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5841
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5844
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5845
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)

* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5848
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5850
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5851
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5852
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5853
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5854
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5855
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.

5859
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)

* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5862
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)

* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5865
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)

* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.

* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5875
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5877
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5878
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5879
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)

* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5889
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5891
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5894
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5897
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.

5905
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5906
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5908
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5909
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5910
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5911
space). (Robert Collins)
5913
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5914
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5917
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5918
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5920
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5921
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5923
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5924
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5925
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5926
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5928
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5929
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5930
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5933
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5936
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5937
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
5938
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
5940
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5941
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5942
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5943
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5944
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
5949
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5950
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5952
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5953
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5954
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5955
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5956
affected. (Robert Collins)
5958
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5959
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5960
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5963
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5964
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5969
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
5970
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
5972
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
5973
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5975
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5976
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5978
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
5981
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
5982
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5987
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
5988
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
5989
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
5990
its version information. (Robert Collins)
5992
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
5993
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5995
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
5996
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
5997
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
5998
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6000
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6001
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6002
present. (Robert Collins)
6004
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6005
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6006
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6007
API. (Robert Collins)
6009
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6010
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6013
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6014
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6016
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6017
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6018
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6019
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6020
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6021
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6023
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6024
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6025
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6027
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6028
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6029
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6030
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6033
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6036
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6037
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6038
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6039
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6040
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6041
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6042
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6044
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6045
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6046
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6047
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6049
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6050
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6051
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6052
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6053
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6054
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6056
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6057
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6058
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6060
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6061
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6070
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6071
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6072
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6073
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6074
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6075
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6076
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6077
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6083
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6084
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6085
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

6094
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6095
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the

6097
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.

6103
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree

6107
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6108
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6111
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6112
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6115
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6118
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists

(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6121
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6122
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6124
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6125
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6127
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.

6130
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6131
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6133
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6139
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6140
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6142
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6143
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6145
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6146
the repository (Robert Collins)
6148
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6149
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6150
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6151
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6152
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6154
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6155
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6157
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6158
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6159
(John Arbash Meinel)
6161
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6162
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6163
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6165
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6166
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6167
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6168
(John Arbash Meinel)
6170
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6171
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6174
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6175
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6177
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6180
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6182
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6184
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6185
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6187
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6188
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6191
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6192
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6193
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6194
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6196
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6197
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6198
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6200
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6201
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6202
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6204
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6205
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6207
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6208
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6209
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6210
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6211
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6212
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6215
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6216
(Alexander Belchenko)
6218
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6219
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6221
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6222
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6224
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6226
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6227
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6232
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6233
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6234
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6235
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6237
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6239
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6242
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6243
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6244
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6245
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6246
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6247
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6252
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6253
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6254
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6255
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6257
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6258
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6259
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6260
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6261
tests have been refactored too.
6264
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6265
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6266
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6270
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6271
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6272
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6274
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6275
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6276
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6277
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6278
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6279
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6280
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6282
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6283
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6284
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6285
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6286
(John Arbash Meinel)
6288
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6289
functionality for testing.
6291
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6293
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6294
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6296
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6298
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6301
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6302
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6304
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6305
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6306
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6308
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6311
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6312
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6314
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6315
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6316
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6317
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6319
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6320
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6322
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6323
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6324
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6326
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6329
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6330
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6331
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6332
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6333
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6334
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6336
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6337
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6338
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6339
many files. (Robert Collins)
6341
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6342
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6343
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6344
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6349
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6350
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6351
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6353
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6354
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6356
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6357
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6358
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
6384
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
6386
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
6387
authentication header.
6388
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
6390
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
6392
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
6393
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
6395
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
6397
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
6398
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
6400
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
6401
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
6402
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
6404
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
6405
individually and as part of revision ranges.
6406
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
6408
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
6409
(Martin Pool, #109169)
6411
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
6412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
6414
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
6415
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
6417
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6419
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
6424
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
6425
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
6426
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
6427
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
6428
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
6429
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
6431
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
6432
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
6433
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
6435
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
6438
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
6439
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
6441
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
6442
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
6444
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
6445
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
6447
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
6448
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
6449
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
6450
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
6451
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
6453
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6454
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
6456
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
6457
can be slow it is useful feedback).
6458
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
6460
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
6461
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
6463
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
6465
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
6466
output. (Aaron Bentley)
6468
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
6469
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
6472
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
6475
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
6476
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
6478
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
6479
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
6481
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
6482
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
6484
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
6486
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
6487
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
6489
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
6495
* Testing cleanups -
6496
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
6497
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
6498
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
6499
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
6500
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6501
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
6502
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6503
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
6504
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6505
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
6506
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
6507
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
6508
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6509
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
6510
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6511
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
6512
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
6515
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
6517
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
6518
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
6519
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
6521
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
6522
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
6524
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
6525
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6527
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
6529
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
6530
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
6531
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
6532
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
6533
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
6534
same location. (Robert Collins)
6539
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
6541
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
6543
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
6545
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
6548
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
6551
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
6552
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
6553
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
6555
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
6557
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
6558
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
6559
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
6561
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6562
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6564
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
6565
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
6566
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
6568
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
6569
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
6570
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
6572
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6573
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6574
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6576
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6577
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6580
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6581
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6583
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6584
(Alexander Belchenko)
6589
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6590
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6591
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6592
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6594
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6595
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6596
testing. (Robert Collins)
6598
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6599
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6601
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6602
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6603
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6604
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6605
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6606
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6607
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6609
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6610
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6611
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6612
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6614
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6615
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6617
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6618
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6639
********************
6641
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6642
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6643
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6644
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6645
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6646
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6647
and unlock() like so::
6649
work_tree.lock_read()
6651
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6657
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6658
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6660
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6661
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6662
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6664
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6665
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6666
too. (Robert Collins)
6671
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6672
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6675
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6676
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6678
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6679
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6681
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6682
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6683
understanding what changes have occurred
6684
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6686
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6687
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6688
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6690
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6691
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6692
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6693
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6695
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6701
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6702
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6703
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6704
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6705
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6707
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6708
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6709
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6711
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6714
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6718
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6719
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6721
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6722
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6724
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6725
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6727
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6728
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6730
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6731
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6733
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6734
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6735
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6738
####################
6743
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6744
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6745
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6746
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6747
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6749
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6750
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6751
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6753
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6754
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6759
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6760
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6761
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6763
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6764
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6765
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
6766
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
6768
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30

#######################
6774
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
6775
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
6776
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
6777
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
6779
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
6780
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
6781
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
6783
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
6784
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
6786
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
6787
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
6789
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
6790
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

6795
Notes When Upgrading
6796
********************
6798
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6799
it could be recovered again.
6800
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6801
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6802
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6804
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6806
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6807
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
6812
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6813
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6815
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6816
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6817
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6818
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6820
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6821
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6823
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6824
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6825
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6827
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6828
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6829
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6831
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6832
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6833
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6835
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6836
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6839
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6842
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6843
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6844
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6845
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6847
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6850
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6851
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6852
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6855
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6856
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6858
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6859
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6861
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6862
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6863
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6864
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6867
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6868
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6870
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6871
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6873
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6874
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6875
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6877
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6878
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6879
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6881
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6882
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6883
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6885
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6886
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6887
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6888
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6890
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6891
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6892
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6893
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6895
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6896
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6897
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6898
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6899
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6900
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6901
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6902
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6909
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6910
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6912
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6913
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6914
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6915
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6916
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6918
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6919
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6921
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6922
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6924
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6925
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6927
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6928
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6930
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6931
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6932
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6935
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6936
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6937
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6938
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6939
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6942
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6943
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6944
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6946
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6947
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6950
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6951
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6952
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6955
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6956
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6957
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6958
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6959
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6961
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6962
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6963
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6964
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6966
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6967
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6969
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6970
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6971
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6972
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6973
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6974
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
6976
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
6977
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
6979
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
6980
help. (Robert Collins)
6982
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
6983
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6985
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
6986
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
6987
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
6988
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
6989
(John Arbash Meinel)
6991
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
6992
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
6993
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
6994
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
6995
useful. (Robert Collins)
6997
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7003
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7004
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7006
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7007
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7009
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7010
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7011
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7013
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7016
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7017
the file, and does it faster.
7018
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7020
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7021
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7022
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7024
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7025
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7026
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7027
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7029
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7030
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7031
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7032
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7034
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7035
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7037
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7038
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7039
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7040
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7043
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7045
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7046
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7048
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7049
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7051
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7052
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7053
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7054
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7058
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7064
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7065
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7066
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7068
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7069
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7071
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7072
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7073
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7074
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7075
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7076
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7077
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7078
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7080
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7081
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7082
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7084
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7085
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7086
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7087
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7088
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7090
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7092
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7093
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7094
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7096
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7097
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7106
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7109
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7110
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7113
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
7114
#######################
7119
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7120
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7126
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7127
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7128
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7129
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7130
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7131
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7132
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7133
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7139
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7140
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7141
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7143
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7144
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7147
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7148
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7149
(John Arbash Meinel)
7151
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7152
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7153
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7154
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7155
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7160
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7163
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7164
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7166
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7167
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7169
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7170
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7171
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7173
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7174
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7176
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7177
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7178
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7179
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7180
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7182
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7183
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7184
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7186
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

#######################
7192
Notes When Upgrading
7193
********************
7195
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7196
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7197
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7202
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7203
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7205
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7206
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7208
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7210
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7211
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7213
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7214
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7219
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7225
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7226
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7227
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7228
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7230
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7231
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7233
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7234
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7236
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7239
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7240
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7243
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
7244
#######################
7249
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7250
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7251
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7252
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7253
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7254
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7256
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7257
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7258
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7259
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7260
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7261
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7263
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7265
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7266
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7267
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7268
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7269
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7270
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7271
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7272
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7277
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7278
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7280
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7281
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7282
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7283
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7285
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7286
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7287
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7288
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7289
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7291
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7294
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7297
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7300
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7301
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7304
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7307
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7308
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7310
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7311
directory. (Martin Pool)
7313
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7314
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7315
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7316
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7318
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7319
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7320
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7321
in docs/configuration.txt.
7323
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7324
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7327
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7328
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7329
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7330
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7331
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7332
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7334
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7335
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7337
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7338
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7340
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7346
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7347
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7348
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7349
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7350
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7351
(John Arbash Meinel)
7353
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7354
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7357
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7358
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7359
(John Arbash Meinel)
7361
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7362
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7363
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7364
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7365
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7366
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7368
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7369
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7370
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7372
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7373
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7374
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7375
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7377
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7379
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7380
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7381
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7382
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7384
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7385
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7386
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7387
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7389
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7390
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7391
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7393
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7394
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7395
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7397
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7398
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7399
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7400
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7402
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7403
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7404
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7406
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7407
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7408
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7410
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7411
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7412
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7413
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7414
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7415
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7416
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7417
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7418
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
7419
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
7420
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7425
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7426
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7427
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7429
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7432
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7433
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7434
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7435
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7437
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
7438
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
7441
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
7442
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
7444
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
7446
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
7447
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
7448
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
7450
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
7451
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
7453
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
7454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
7456
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
7457
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)

* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
7471
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

7480
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
7485
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
7486
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
7487
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
7489
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
7490
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory

* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
7501
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7502
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7503
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7505
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7508
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7509
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7510
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7512
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
7513
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
7515
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
7518
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7519
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7520
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7521
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7522
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7523
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7525
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7526
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7527
should enable you to do::
7529
[/home/user/project]
7530
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7531
push_location:policy = appendpath
7533
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7534
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7537
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
7538
for each file. For example::
7540
$ bzr status --short
7546
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
7547
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
7549
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
7551
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
7552
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
7554
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
7559
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
7560
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7561
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
7562
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
7564
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
7565
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
7566
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
7568
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7570
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
7571
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
7572
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
7573
(Alexander Belchenko)
7575
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
7578
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
7579
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
7581
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
7586
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
7587
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
7589
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7590
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7591
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7592
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7593
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7595
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7596
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7598
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7599
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7601
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7603
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7605
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7606
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7607
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7608
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7609
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7611
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7612
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7613
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7614
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7616
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
7617
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7619
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7620
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
7622
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
7623
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
7625
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
7643
(Daniel Silverstone)
7645
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
7646
operations are substantially faster.
7647
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
7649
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
7650
tree from some other url. For example:
7651
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
7652
(Daniel Silverstone)
7654
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
7655
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
7656
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
7657
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
7659
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
7662
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
7663
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7664
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7665
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
7666
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
7667
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
7672
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
7673
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
7676
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
7677
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7678
(John Arbash Meinel)
7680
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7681
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7682
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
7683
(John Arbash Meinel)
7685
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
7686
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
7688
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7689
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7691
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
7692
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
7698
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
7699
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
7700
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7702
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7703
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7704
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7705
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7707
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7709
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7710
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7712
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7713
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7714
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7715
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7717
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7718
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7719
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7721
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7722
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7723
them as full references rather than integers.
7724
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7726
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7727
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
7729
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
7731
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
7732
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
7734
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7735
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7737
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7738
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7739
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7740
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7742
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7743
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7744
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7746
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7747
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7749
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7750
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7751
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
7752
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
7753
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)

7759
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

7777
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7778
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7779
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7780
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7782
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7783
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7785
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7787
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7788
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7789
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7790
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7792
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7793
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7794
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7795
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
7796
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
7801
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
7802
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
7807
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7808
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7809
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7811
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7812
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7813
(John Arbash Meinel)
7815
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7816
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7817
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7819
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7820
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7823
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7824
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7825
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7827
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7828
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7829
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7830
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7831
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7832
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7834
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7835
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7836
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7839
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7840
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
7845
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7846
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7847
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
7850
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7851
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
7853
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
7854
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
7855
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
7857
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
7858
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
7860
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
7861
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
7862
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
7863
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
7865
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
7866
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
7868
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
7869
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
7870
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
7872
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
7873
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
7875
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7877
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
7878
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
7884
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
7885
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
7886
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
7887
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
7889
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
7890
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
7891

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7916
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7917
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7918
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7919
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
7920
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
7921
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
7923
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
7924
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
7925
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
7927
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
7929
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7930
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7932
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7933
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7934
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7937
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
7938
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
7939
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
7943
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
7944
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
7945
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7948
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
7949
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
7950
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
7951
(John Arbash Meinel)
7956
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
7957
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
7959
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
7961
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
7962
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
7963
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
7975
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
7977
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
7979
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
7980
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
7982
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
7983
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
7985
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
7986
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
7988
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
7989
(John Arbash Meinel)
7991
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
7992
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
7993
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
7995
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
7996
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7998
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
7999
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8000
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8001
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8003
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8004
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8005
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8007
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8008
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8013
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)

* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8019
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8020
(John Arbash Meinel)
8022
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8023
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8024
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8025
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8027
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8030
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8031
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8032
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8034
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8035
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8037
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8038
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8039
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8041
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8042
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8043
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8044
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8045
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for

SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8047
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8048
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8049
caller to repeat their request.

(John Arbash Meinel)
8052
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8053
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8055
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8056
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8058
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8059
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8060
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8061
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8062
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8063
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8064
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8066
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8067
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8068
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8069
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8070
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8071
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8072
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8073
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8076
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8077
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8078
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8080
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8081
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8083
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8084
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8086
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8087
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8092
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8093
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8095
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8096
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8097
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8099
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8100
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8101
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8104
####################
8108
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8109
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8111
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8112
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8113
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8114
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8115
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8117
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8118
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8119
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8121
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8122
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8124
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8125
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8126
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8131
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8133
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8134
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8135
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8137
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8139
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8141
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8142
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8143
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8144
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8146
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8147
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8148
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8149
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8150
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8152
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8153
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8155
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8156
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8158
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8159
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8161
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8162
in handling of revision properties.
8163
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8165
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8166
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8171
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8172
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8173
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8174
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8175
(John Arbash Meinel)
8177
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8178
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8179
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

8181
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
13
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
14
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
15
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
16
specific one '.bzrignore'.
17
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
18
a more conservative list than the old default.
19
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
20
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
21
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
22
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
24
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
25
to more locations than just branch locations.
30
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
31
revno:N:branch. For example,
32
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
33
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
35
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
36
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
37
the path of a file that has been versioned.
38
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
39
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
40
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
41
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
42
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
45
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
46
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
47
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
50
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
53
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
55
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
58
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
59
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
60
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
61
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
62
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
65
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
66
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
67
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
68
grained analysis of performance.
69
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
71
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
72
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
74
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
75
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
76
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
77
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
78
file. (Robert Collins).
80
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
81
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
82
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
84
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
85
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
88
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
89
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
91
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
92
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
93
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
94
the same way you would apply another branch.
95
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
97
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
98
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
100
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
103
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
106
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
107
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
108
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
110
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
111
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
112
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
114
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
115
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
117
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
118
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
119
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
120
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
121
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
123
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
124
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
126
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
127
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
128
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
129
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
130
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
131
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
132
branch is as much as 4x faster.
133
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
135
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
136
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
137
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
141
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
142
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
145
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
146
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
148
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
149
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
151
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
152
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
154
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
156
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
159
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
160
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
162
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
163
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
166
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
167
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
169
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
170
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
172
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
173
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
174
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
175
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
177
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
178
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
180
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
182
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
183
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
185
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
187
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
189
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
190
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
192
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
193
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
195
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
196
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
197
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
199
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
200
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
201
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
203
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
204
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
206
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
207
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
209
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
210
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
212
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
213
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
215
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
216
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
218
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
219
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
220
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
222
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
224
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
225
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
229
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
230
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
231
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
233
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
234
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
236
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
237
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
238
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
240
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
241
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
243
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
244
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
247
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
248
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
249
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
251
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
252
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
253
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
255
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
256
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
257
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
259
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
260
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
261
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
263
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
264
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
265
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
267
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
268
instead. (Robert Collins)
270
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8296
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8298
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8299
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8301
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8302
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8303
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8304
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8305
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8306
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8307
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8308
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8310
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8311
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8312
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8317
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8319
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8321
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8322
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8324
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8325
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8327
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8328
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8330
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8332
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8333
(John Arbash Meinel)
8335
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8336
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8338
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8339
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8342
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8343
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8345
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8346
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8348
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8349
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8350
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8351
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8353
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8354
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8356
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8358
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8359
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8361
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8363
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8365
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8366
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8368
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8369
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8371
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8372
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8373
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8375
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8376
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8377
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8379
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8380
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8382
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8383
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8385
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8386
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8388
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8389
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8391
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8392
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8394
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8395
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8396
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8398
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8400
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8401
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8406
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8407
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8408
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8410
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8411
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8413
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8414
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8415
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8417
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8418
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8420
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8421
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8424
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8425
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8426
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8428
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8429
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8430
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8432
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8433
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8434
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8436
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8437
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8438
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8440
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8441
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8442
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8444
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8445
instead. (Robert Collins)
8447
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
327
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
329
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
330
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
331
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
332
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
333
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
334
will keep the same format.
336
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
337
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
338
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
339
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
340
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
342
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
343
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
344
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
345
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
346
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
347
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
348
indicating the current revision of the branch.
350
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
351
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
352
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
353
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
354
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
356
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
357
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
358
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
364
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
365
convention. Paths now take the form:

370
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
371
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
373
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
374
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
375
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
377
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
378
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
379
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
380
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
382
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
383
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
386
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
388
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
390
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
391
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
392
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
393
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
396
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
398
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
399
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
400
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
403
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
405
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
407
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
410
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
411
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
413
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
414
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
417
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
418
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
421
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
423
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
425
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
426
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
428
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
429
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
430
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
431
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
432
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
433
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
435
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
437
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
438
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
441
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
442
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
444
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
445
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
447
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
449
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
450
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
451
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
452
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
453
specification by Martin Pool.
454
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
456
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
459
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
460
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
462
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
463
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
464
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
466
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
468
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
469
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
474
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
475
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
477
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
479
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
481
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
484
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
485
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
486
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
487
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
491
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
492
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
493
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
494
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
496
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
497
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
500
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
503
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
505
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
506
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
507
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
509
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
510
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
512
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
513
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
514
paths. (Robert Collins)
516
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
517
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
518
needs. (Robert Collins)
520
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
521
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
522
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
524
* Progress bars are now nested - see
525
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
527
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
530
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
533
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
535
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
537
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
538
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
539
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
542
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
543
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
545
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
546
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
547
check. (Robert Collins)
549
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
550
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
554
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
555
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
557
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
558
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
559
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
560
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
562
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
563
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
564
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
565
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
566
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
568
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
569
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
570
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
572
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
574
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
575
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8560
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8561
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8563
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8564
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8565
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8567
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8568
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8569
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8570
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8572
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8573
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8574
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8576
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)

* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8580
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8581
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8584
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8585
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8588
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8590
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8591
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8592
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8595
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8597
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8599
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8602
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8603
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8605
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8606
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8609
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8610
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8613
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8615
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8617
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8618
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8620
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8621
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8622
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8623
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8624
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8625
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8627
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8629
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8630
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8633
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8634
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8636
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8637
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8639
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8641
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8642
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8643
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8644
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8645
specification by Martin Pool.
8646
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8648
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8651
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8652
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8654
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8655
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8656
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8658
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8660
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8661
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8667
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8668
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8670
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8672
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8674
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8677
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8678
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8679
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8680
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8685
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8686
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8687
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8688
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8690
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8691
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8692
tried. (Martin Pool)
8694
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8697
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8699
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8700
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8701
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8703
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8704
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8706
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8707
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8708
paths. (Robert Collins)
8710
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8711
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8712
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8714
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8715
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8716
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8718
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8719
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8720
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8722
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8725
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8728
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8730
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8732
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8733
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8734
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8737
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8738
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8740
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8741
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8742
check. (Robert Collins)
8744
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8745
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8750
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8751
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8753
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8754
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8755
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8756
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8758
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8759
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8760
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8761
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8762
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8764
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8765
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8766
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8768
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8770
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8771
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
577
8773
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
581
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
582
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
584
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
585
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
586
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
589
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
590
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
592
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
593
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
594
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
595
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
598
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
599
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
600
used. (Robert Collins)
602
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
603
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
606
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
607
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
608
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
610
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
613
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
614
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
618
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
619
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
621
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
623
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
625
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
626
tree. (Robert Collins)
628
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
629
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
630
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
633
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
636
* Tweaks to short log printing
638
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
641
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
642
occurs. (Martin Pool)
644
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
645
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
647
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
648
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
650
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
651
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
652
settings. (Magnus Therning)
654
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
655
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
657
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
658
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
661
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
662
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
664
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
665
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
667
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
668
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
670
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
673
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
674
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
676
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
677
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
679
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
680
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
681
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
685
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
687
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
689
* Error when run with -OO
691
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
694
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
696
* Change status to 3 for all errors
698
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
699
ignored by diff and status
701
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
702
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
704
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
706
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
708
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
709
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
711
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
712
email address. (Marien Zwart)
714
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
717
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
718
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
720
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
722
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
723
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
725
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
728
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
731
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
735
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
736
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
738
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
740
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
742
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
744
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
745
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
746
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
748
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
750
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
753
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
755
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
756
If adding a new test script please add that to
757
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
759
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
760
imported. (Martin Pool)
762
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
763
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
764
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
765
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
766
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
769
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
770
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
771
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
773
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
774
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
775
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
777
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
778
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
779
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
780
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
781
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
784
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
785
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
790
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
791
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
793
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
794
function. (Robert Collins)
796
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
797
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
798
if needed). (Robert Collins)
800
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
801
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
803
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
804
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
805
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
806
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
807
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
808
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
809
version. (Robert Collins)
811
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
812
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
814
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
815
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
816
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
817
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
818
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
819
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
821
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
824
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
8779
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8780
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8782
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8783
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8784
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8787
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8788
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8790
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8791
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8792
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8793

* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
8957
If adding a new test script please add that to
8958
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
8960
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8961
imported. (Martin Pool)
8963
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8964
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8965
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8966
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8967
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8970
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8971
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8972
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
8974
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8975
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8976
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8978
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8979
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8980
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
8981
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
8982
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
8985
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
8986
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
8992
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
8993
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
8995
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
8996
function. (Robert Collins)
8998
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
8999
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9000
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9002
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9003
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9006
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9007
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9008
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9009
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9010
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9011
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9012
version. (Robert Collins)
9014
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9015
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9017
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9018
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9019
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9020
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9021
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9022
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9024
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9027
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
832
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
834
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
836
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
839
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
840
query method. (Robert Collins)
842
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
845
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
848
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
852
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
853
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
854
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
855
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
857
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
858
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
859
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
860
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
862
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
863
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9037
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9039

885
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.

* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
911

913
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
914
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)

* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
917
output directory, if one was supplied.

* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
920
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
921
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
922
parameters. (Robert Collins)
924
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
926
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
927
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
929
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
930
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
931
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).

* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
934
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
936
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
939
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
941
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
945
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
946
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
947
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
949
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
950
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
951
related questions. (Robert Collins)
953
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
954
is given. (Martin Pool)
956
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
957
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named

960
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
965
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
966
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
967
representation. (Martin Pool).
969
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
970
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
971
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).

* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
981
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
982
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
983
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
984
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
986
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
987
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
988
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
989
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
990
python path. (Robert Collins)
992
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
993
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
994
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
995
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
997
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
998
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1000
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1001
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1004
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1005
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a

1008
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1009
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1010
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1012
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1013
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1015
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1016
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1017
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1020
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1021
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1022
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1023
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1026
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1029
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1030
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.

doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1035
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1037

This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1041
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1042
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent

is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1050
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller

1139

list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9406
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9408
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9410
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9411
we call them revisions not patches.
9413
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9414
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9416
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9417
giving the revision *of that file*.
9419
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.

This must be consistent with the overall branch version

#####################
9673
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
9674
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9676
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9677
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9678
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9679
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9681
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9682
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9683
with the ``--forward`` option.
9685
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9686
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
9693
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9694
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
9696
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9698
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9699
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
9701
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
9703
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
9704
either read or write mode.
9706
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
9708
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
9711
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
9713
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
9714
suggested by LarstiQ.
9716
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
9717
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
9719
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
9722
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
9723
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
9725
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
9726
haven't changed since the previous time.
9728
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9729
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9731
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9733
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
9735
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
9736
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
9738
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
9739
options through to an external GNU diff.
9741
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
9744
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
9751
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
9752
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9754
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9761
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9762
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
9765
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9766
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9768
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9769
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9771
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9772
under a different version.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22

1554
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the

If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1570

1578
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1580

1583
trailing newlines properly.

1591
* More tests in test.sh.

* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1594
directory and delete it when done.
