13
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
14
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
15
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
17
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
18
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
19
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
20
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
21
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
24
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
25
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
29
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
30
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
33
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
34
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
35
(Christophe Troestler)
37
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
38
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
40
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
41
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
42
faster. The new request method name is
43
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
47
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
48
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
50
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
51
requires a branch to be present.
52
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
54
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
56
(Martin Pool, #205230)
58
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
59
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
60
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
61
(Martin Pool, #240161)
63
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
65
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
67
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
68
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
69
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
70
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
71
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
73
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
74
(Martin Pool, #172870)
76
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
77
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
79
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
81
(Matt McClure, #209281)
83
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
84
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
86
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
87
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
91
* Updated developer documentation.
96
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
97
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
99
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
100
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
101
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
102
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
106
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
107
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
108
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
109
Repository docstring for more details.
112
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
113
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
114
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
116
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
117
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
120
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
121
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
122
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
123
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
127
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
128
(Alexander Belchenko)
130
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
131
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
132
containing a given location.
135
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
136
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
137
storage. (Robert Collins)
139
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
142
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
143
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

.. contents:: List of Releases
12
:2.0.5: NOT RELEASED YET
17
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
18
(Martin Pool, #331095)
20
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
21
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
23
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
24
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
26
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
27
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
28
``UnboundLocalError``.
29
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
34
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.

(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
40
:Codename: smooth sailing
43
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
44
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
45
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
46
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
52
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
53
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
55
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
56
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
57
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
58
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
60
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
61
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
62
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
63
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
64
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
66
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
67
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
68
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
70
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
71
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
72
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
73
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
75
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
76
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
78
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
79
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
80
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
81
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
82
(Martin Pool, #456077)
84
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
85
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
86
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
87
users, rather than something nicer.
88
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
90
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
91
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
93
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
94
build. (there is still the distutils bug
95
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
97
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
98
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
99
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
101
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
102
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
103
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
104
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
105
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
107
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
108
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
109
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
114
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
115
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
116
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
117
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)
123
:Codename: little italy
127
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
128
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
134
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
135
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
136
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
138
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
139
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
141
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
142
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
143
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
144
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
146
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
152
:Codename: after the scare
155
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
156
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
162
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
163
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
165
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
168
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
170
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
171
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
172
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
174
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
175
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
177
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
178
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
180
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
181
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
186
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
187
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
192
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
193
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
199
:Codename: Stability First
202
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
203
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
204
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
210
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
211
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
212
(Robert Collins, #3918)
214
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
215
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
216
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
218
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
219
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
220
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
222
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
223
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
225
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
226
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
227
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
228
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
229
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
231
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
232
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
234
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
235
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
236
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
237
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
239
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
240
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
241
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
243
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
244
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
245
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
246
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
247
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
248
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
249
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
251
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
252
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
254
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
255
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
256
to download the entire cix file many times.
257
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
259
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
260
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
265
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
267
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
275
:Codename: Instant Karma
277
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
278
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
279
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
280
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
281
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
284
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
285
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
287
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
288
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
289
months or until the following stable release.
291
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
292
******************************
294
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
295
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
296
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
297
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
302
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
307
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
308
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
309
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
314
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
315
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
316
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
317
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
318
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
319
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
320
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
322
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
323
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
324
(Robert Collins, #416732)
326
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
327
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
329
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
330
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
331
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
333
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
334
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
336
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
337
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
338
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
339
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
340
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
341
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
342
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
344
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
345
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
346
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
347
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
348
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
349
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
351
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
352
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
353
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
355
* Fix a segmentation fault when computing the ``merge_sort`` of a graph
356
that has a ghost in the mainline ancestry.
357
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
359
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
360
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
361
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
363
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
364
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
365
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
367
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
368
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
370
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
371
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
372
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
373
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
378
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
380
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
382
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
383
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
385
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
386
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
387
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
389
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
390
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
391
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
393
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
394
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
400
:Codename: no worries
401
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
406
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
407
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
408
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
409
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
410
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
412
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
413
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
414
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
415
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
420
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
421
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
426
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
427
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
428
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
429
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
430
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
432
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
433
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
434
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
436
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
439
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
440
(Martin Pool, #286871)
442
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
443
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
444
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
446
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
447
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
448
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
449
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
454
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
455
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
456
(Martin Pool, #409137)
458
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
459
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
460
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
461
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
463
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
465
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
466
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
468
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
469
(Robert Collins, #305006)
471
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the the iter_changes
472
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
473
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
475
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
476
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
477
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
478
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
479
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
480
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
485
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
491
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
492
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
493
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
504
:Codename: nein nein nein!
507
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
508
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
509
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
510
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
511
pushing to older servers.
516
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
517
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
518
(Martin Pool, #415508)
520
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
521
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
522
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
527
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
528
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
530
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
531
(Robert Collins, #305006)
536
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
537
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
538
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
540
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
541
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
542
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
551
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
552
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
553
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
554
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
555
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
563
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
564
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
565
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
566
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
567
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
569
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
572
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
573
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
575
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
576
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
578
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
579
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
580
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
581
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
583
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
584
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
585
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
587
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
588
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
590
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
591
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
592
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
593
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
598
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
599
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
600
(Martin Pool, #409137)
602
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
603
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
604
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
605
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
606
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
608
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
609
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
610
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
622
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
623
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
624
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
625
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
626
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
627
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
629
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
630
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
631
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
632
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
634
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
635
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
636
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
637
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
640
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
641
protocols. (Robert Collins)
643
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
644
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
645
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
646
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
652
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
653
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
663
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
664
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
665
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
666
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
667
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
668
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
670
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
671
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
672
or until the following stable release.
674
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
679
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
680
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
682
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
683
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
684
(Martin Pool, #391411)
689
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
690
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
691
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
693
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
694
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
695
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
696
(Martin Pool, #123688)
698
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
699
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
700
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
701
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
703
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
704
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
706
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
707
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
708
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
709
(Robert Collins, #282402)
711
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
712
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
714
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
715
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
717
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
718
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
719
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
720
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
721
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
723
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
724
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
725
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
727
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
728
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
729
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
730
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
731
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
733
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
734
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
736
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
737
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
738
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
740
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
741
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
742
(Martin Pool, #408201)
744
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
745
(Martin Pool, #403523)
747
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
748
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
749
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
751
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
752
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
754
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
755
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
757
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
758
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
760
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
761
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
762
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
764
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
765
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
766
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
768
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
770
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
771
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
773
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
774
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
775
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
776
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
777
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
778
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
780
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
781
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
782
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
784
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
785
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
786
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
787
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
789
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
790
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
791
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
792
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
793
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
795
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
796
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
797
(Robert Collins, #187207)
802
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
805
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
806
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
807
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
808
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
810
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
811
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
817
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
822
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
823
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
824
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
825
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
826
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
827
passwords. (Martin Pool)
829
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
832
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
835
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
839
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
840
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
845
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
846
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
847
paths. (Robert Collins)
849
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
850
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
852
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
853
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
854
disk. (Robert Collins)
856
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
859
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
860
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
861
(Alexander Belchenko)
867
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
868
(Martin Pool, #409684)
870
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
871
(Martin Pool, #408199)
873
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
874
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
875
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
876
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
877
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
878
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
883
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
888
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
889
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
892
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
893
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
894
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
895
annoying progress bar artifacts.
898
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
899
*********************************
901
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
902
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
903
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
905
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
906
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
907
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
909
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
910
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
916
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
917
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
918
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
919
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
925
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
926
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
927
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
928
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
930
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
931
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
932
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
934
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
935
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
936
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
940
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
941
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
942
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
943
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
949
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
950
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
952
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
953
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
954
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
955
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
957
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
958
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
960
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
961
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
962
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
964
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
965
(Martin Pool, #321935)
967
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
968
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
970
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
971
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
973
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
974
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
975
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
977
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
980
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
981
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
983
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
984
of a remote repository.
985
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
987
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
988
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
991
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
993
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
995
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
996
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
998
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
999
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
1001
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
1002
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
1003
(Martin Pool, #339385)
1005
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
1006
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
1007
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
1008
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
1009
(John Arbash Meinel)
1011
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
1012
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
1013
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
1015
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
1016
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
1017
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
1018
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
1019
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
1020
(Robert Collins, #376243)
1022
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
1023
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
1024
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
1025
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
1026
activity display respectively.
1027
(Martin Pool, #340347)
1029
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
1030
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
1032
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
1035
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
1036
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
1042
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
1043
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
1044
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
1045
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
1047
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
1048
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
1049
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
1050
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
1053
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
1054
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
1056
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
1057
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
1058
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
1059
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
1060
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
1061
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1063
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
1064
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
1065
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
1066
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
1068
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
1069
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
1070
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
1071
(John Arbash Meinel)
1074
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
1075
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
1076
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
1077
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
1083
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
1084
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
1085
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
1086
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1088
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
1089
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
1090
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
1092
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
1095
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
1096
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
1098
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
1099
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
1100
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1102
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
1103
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
1104
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
1105
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1107
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
1113
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
1114
formatting in the user reference.
1115
(Martin Pool, #249908)
1117
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
1123
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
1126
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
1127
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
1128
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
1134
:Released: 2009-06-26
1136
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
1137
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
1138
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
1141
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
1142
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
1143
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
1145
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
1146
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
1151
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
1152
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1154
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
1155
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
1156
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
1158
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
1159
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
1160
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
1161
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
1162
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
1163
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
1164
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1166
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
1167
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
1168
converted data. (Robert Collins)
1170
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
1171
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
1172
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
1174
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
1175
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
1176
that. (Robert Collins)
1178
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
1179
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
1180
repository. (Robert Collins)
1182
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
1183
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
1184
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
1185
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

1195
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
1196
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
1197
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
1198
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
1200
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
1201
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
1202
bug fixes and improvements.
1205
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
1206
*********************************
1208
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
1209
2a can work correctly.
1210
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
1212
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1213
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1214
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1217
Compatibility Breaks
1218
********************
1220
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
1221
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
1222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
1228
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
1229
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
1230
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
1231
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
1232
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
1233
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
1236
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
1237
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
1238
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
1239
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
1241
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
1242
and more concisely repacks the full history.
1244
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
1245
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
1247
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
1248
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
1249
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1251
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
1252
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
1258
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
1259
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
1260
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1262
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
1263
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
1264
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
1265
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
1266
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
1268
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
1269
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
1270
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
1271
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
1273
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
1274
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
1280
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
1281
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
1282
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
1283
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1289
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
1290
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
1292
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
1293
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
1295
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
1296
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
1297
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
1299
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
1300
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
1302
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
1303
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
1304
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
1306
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
1307
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
1308
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
1309
(John Arbash Meinel)
1311
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
1312
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
1314
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
1315
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1317
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1318
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1320
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1321
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1322
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1323
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1324
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1325
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1327
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1329
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1330
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1332
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1333
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1335
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1336
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1337
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1338
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1339
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1341
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1342
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1343
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1344
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1349
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1350
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1351
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1356
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1358
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1359
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
1360
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1362
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
1363
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
1364
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
1366
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
1367
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1369
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
1370
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
1375
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
1376
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1381
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
1383
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1385
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
1390
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
1394
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
1395
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
1396
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
1397
revisions introduce the exact same line.
1399
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
1400
*****************************
1402
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
1403
(Alexander Belchenko)
1405
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
1406
*********************************
1408
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1409
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1410
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1411
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1413
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
1414
*********************************
1418
Compatibility Breaks
1419
********************
1421
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
1422
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
1423
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
1424
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
1429
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1430
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1433
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
1434
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
1435
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1436
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1438
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1439
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1440
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1441
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1443
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1444
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1447
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1448
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1449
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1454
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1455
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1457
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1458
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1460
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1461
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1462
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1464
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1469
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1470
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1472
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1474
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1475
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1477
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1478
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1480
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1481
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1483
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1484
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1485
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1486
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1488
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1489
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1491
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1492
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1494
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1495
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1497
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
1498
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1500
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
1501
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1503
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1506
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1507
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1509
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1510
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1511
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1512
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1513
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1514
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1515
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1516
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1517
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1518
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1519
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1520
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1521
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1522
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1524
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1525
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1526
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1528
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1529
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1537
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1538
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1539
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1541
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1542
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1543
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1544
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1545
(Alexander Belchenko)
1550
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1551
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1552
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1554
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1555
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1558
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1559
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1560
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1561
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1562
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1564
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1565
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1566
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1568
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1569
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1570
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1571
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1573
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1574
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1575
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1577
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1578
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1580
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1581
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1582
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1583
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1585
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1586
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1587
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1589
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1590
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1592
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1593
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1594
branches. (Robert Collins)
1596
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1597
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1599
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1604
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1605
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
1656
********************
1658
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
1659
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
1660
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
1661
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
1662
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1664
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1665
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1666
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1668
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1669
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1670
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1671
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1672
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1677
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1678
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1679
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1680
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1681
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1684
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1687
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1688
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1690
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1691
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1692
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1693
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1694
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1696
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1697
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1699
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1702
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1703
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1704
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1705
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1708
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1709
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1710
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1711
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1712
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1714
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1715
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1718
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1724
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1725
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1726
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1728
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1729
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1730
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1731
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1732
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1734
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1735
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1738
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1739
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1740
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1742
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1745
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1748
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1749
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1751
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1752
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1754
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1755
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1757
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1758
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1761
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1762
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1763
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1765
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1766
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1767
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1770
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1771
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1772
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1773
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1775
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1776
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1777
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1778
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1779
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1780
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1781
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1782
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1783
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1785
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1791
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1792
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1793
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1794
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1795
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1796
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1797
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1799
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1800
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1802
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1803
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1804
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1805
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1807
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1808
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1810
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1812
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1815
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1816
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1817
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1819
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1820
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1822
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1823
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1825
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1826
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1827
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1829
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1830
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1831
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1832
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1834
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1836
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1837
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1839
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1840
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1841
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1842
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1843
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1845
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1846
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1847
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1848
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1849
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1850
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1851
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1853
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1854
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1856
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1857
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1860
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1861
(James Westby, #341558)
1863
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1864
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1866
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1867
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1872
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1874
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1876
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1877
(James Westby, #336998)
1882
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1885
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1886
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1889
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1890
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1893
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1894
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1895
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1897
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1898
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1899
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1901
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1902
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1903
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1904
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1907
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1908
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1911
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1914
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1915
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1917
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1918
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1919
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1920
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1922
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1923
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1924
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1929
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1930
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1931
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1932
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1933
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1935
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1938
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1939
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1940
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1941
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1947
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1948
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1950
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1951
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1953
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1954
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1955
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1957
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1958
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1959
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1960
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1962
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1963
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1964
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1965
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1967
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1968
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1969
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1971
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1972
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1973
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1975
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1976
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1977
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1979
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1980
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1983
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1984
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1985
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1987
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1988
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1990
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1991
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1992
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1994
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1995
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1998
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1999
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
2000
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2002
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
2003
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
2004
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
2005
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
2006
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
2008
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
2009
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
2010
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
2011
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2013
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
2014
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
2015
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
2016
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2018
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
2019
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
2020
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2022
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
2023
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
2026
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
2027
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
2028
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
2030
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
2031
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
2032
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
2033
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
2034
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
2036
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
2037
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
2038
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
2041
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
2042
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
2043
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
2044
desired. (Robert Collins)
2046
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
2047
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
2048
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
2049
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2051
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
2052
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
2053
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
2070
*****************************
2072
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
2073
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
2074
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
2075
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
2076
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
2077
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
2083
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
2084
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
2085
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2087
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
2088
********************************
2090
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
2091
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
2092
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
2097
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
2098
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
2100
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
2101
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
2103
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
2104
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
2106
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2108
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
2109
*********************************
2111
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2112
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2113
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2115
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2116
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2118
Compatibility Breaks
2119
********************
2121
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
2122
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
2123
command may need to be adjusted.
2124
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2129
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
2130
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
2131
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
2133
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
2136
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
2137
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
2138
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
2141
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
2142
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
2144
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
2145
(John Arbash Meinel)
2147
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
2148
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
2150
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
2152
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
2153
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
2156
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
2162
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
2163
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
2164
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
2165
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
2166
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
2167
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
2168
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
2169
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
2172
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
2173
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
2175
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
2176
generation of a working tree in the new branch.

* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
2180
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
2182
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
2183
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
2184
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
2187
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
2188
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
2189
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2191
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
2192
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
2193
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
2194
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2196
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
2199
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
2200
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
2202
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
2203
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
2205
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
2206
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
2207
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
2209
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
2214
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
2215
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
2217
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
2218
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
2219
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
2221
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
2222
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
2223
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
2225
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
2226
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
2228
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
2229
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
2232
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
2233
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
2234
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
2236
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
2237
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
2239
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
2240
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
2242
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
2243
(James Westby, #174539)
2245
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2246
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2248
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
2249
error branching from old repositories.
2250
(Martin Pool, #321695)
2252
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
2253
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
2255
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
2256
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
2257
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
2258
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2260
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
2261
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
2264
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
2265
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
2267
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
2268
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
2270
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
2271
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
2272
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2274
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
2275
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
2277
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
2278
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
2283
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
2284
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
2285
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
2288
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
2289
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
2291
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
2292
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
2297
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
2298
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
2299
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
2300
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
2301
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
2303
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
2304
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2306
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
2307
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
2308
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
2309
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
2310
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
2311
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
2313
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
2314
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2316
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2317
"author" argument being deprecated.
2319
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2321
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2322
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2323
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2324
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2326
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2327
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2328
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2330
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2331
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2332
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2334
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2335
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2337
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2338
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2339
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2340
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2345
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2346
free of virtual file system methods.
2347
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2349
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2350
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2351
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2353
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2354
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2355
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2356
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
2357
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
2358
(Robert Collins, #334187)
2360
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
2362
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
2363
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
2365
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
2366
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
2367
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
2368
stream the operation.
2369
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2371
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
2372
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
2374
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
2375
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
2376
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
2377
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
2378
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2380
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
2381
branch object. (Robert Collins)
2383
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
2384
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
2385
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
2387
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
2388
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
2391
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
2394
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
2395
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
2396
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2398
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
2399
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
2400
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2402
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
2403
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
2404
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2406
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
2407
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
2408
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2410
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
2411
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
2412
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
2413
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
2414
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
2416
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
2417
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
2418
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
2419
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
2420
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
2421
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
2423
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
2424
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
2425
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
2426
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
2427
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2429
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
2430
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2432
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
2433
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
2435
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2436
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2437
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2438
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2439
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2441
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2442
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
2449
:Codename: 1234567890
2451
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
2453
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2454
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2455
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2456
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2457
by showing the rate of network IO.
2459
Changes from RC1 to Final
2460
*************************
2462
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2463
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2465
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2466
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2468
Compatibility Breaks
2469
********************
2471
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2472
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2473
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2474
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2476
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2477
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2478
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2481
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2482
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2483
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2484
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2486
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2487
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2488
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2491
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2496
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2497
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2498
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2501
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2502
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2503
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2505
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2506
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2507
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2508
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2509
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2510
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2511
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2512
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2513
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2519
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2522
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2525
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2526
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2527
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2529
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2530
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2531
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2532
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2533
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2535
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2536
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2538
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2539
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2540
level for better precision.
2543
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2544
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2546
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2547
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2548
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2550
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2551
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2552
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2555
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2556
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2557
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2562
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2564
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2566
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2567
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2568
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2570
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2571
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2572
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2573
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2574
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2575
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2577
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2578
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2580
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2581
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2583
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2584
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2585
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2587
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2588
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2589
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2592
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2593
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2595
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2596
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2597
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2598
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2600
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2601
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2603
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2605
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2610
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2615
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2616
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2619
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2620
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2622
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2623
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2625
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2626
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2628
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2629
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2630
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2631
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2633
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2634
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2635
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2640
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2641
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2642
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2643
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2644
compile buffers, are such an example).
2647
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2648
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2651
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2652
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2653
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2656
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2657
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2659
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2660
formatters to retrict the output.
2667
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
2668
:Released: 2009-01-19
2670
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2671
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2672
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2673
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2674
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2676
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2677
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2680
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2681
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2686
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2689
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
2690
(John Arbash Meinel)
2697
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
2698
:Released: 2009-01-09
2703
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2704
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2709
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2710
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2712
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2713
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2714
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2715
implement other plugins.
2718
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2724
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2725
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2727
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2728
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2730
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2731
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2732
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2733
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2736
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2737
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2738
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2739
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2740
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2742
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2743
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2744
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2745
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2746
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2751
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2752
control directory. (#139691)
2754
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2755
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2757
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2758
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2760
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2761
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2762
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2764
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2765
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2767
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2768
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2769
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2771
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2772
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2774
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2777
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2778
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2779
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2781
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2782
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2784
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2785
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2786
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2788
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2789
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2790
in the appropriate sections.
2791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2793
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2794
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2795
(John Arbash meinel)
2797
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2800
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2803
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2804
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2806
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2807
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2808
work better with how it splits its requests.
2809
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2811
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2812
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2813
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2815
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2818
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2820
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2823
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2829
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2830
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2831
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2837
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2838
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2839
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2840
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2842
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2843
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2845
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2846
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2847
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2848
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2850
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2851
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2852
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2853
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2858
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2859
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2860
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2862
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2863
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2864
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2865
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2867
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2868
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2869
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2875
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2876
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2877
(John Arbash Meinel)
2879
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2880
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2881
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2882
(John Arbash Meinel)
2884
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2885
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2886
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2887
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2889
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2890
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2891
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2893
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2894
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2895
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2896
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2898
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2899
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2900
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2901
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2902
(John Arbash Meinel)
2904
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2905
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2907
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2908
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2909
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2911
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2912
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2913
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2914
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2916
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2917
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2918
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2919
(John Arbash Meinel)
2921
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2922
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2923
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2924
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2925
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2926
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2927
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2929
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2930
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2937
:Released: 2008-12-05
2939
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2940
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2941
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2942
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2945
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2950
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2951
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2952
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2953
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2955
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2956
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2957
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2958
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2959
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
2965
:Released: 2008-11-28
2967
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2968
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2969
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2970
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2971
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2976
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2977
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2979
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2985
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2986
history just to set the last revision info.
2987
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2989
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2990
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2991
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2992
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2994
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2995
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2996
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2997
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2998
(John Arbash Meinel)
3000
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
3001
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3003
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
3004
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
3005
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
3006
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
3007
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
3009
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
3010
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
3011
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
3012
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
3017
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
3018
(Martin Pool, #289148)
3020
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
3021
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
3023
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
3024
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
3025
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
3026
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
3028
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
3029
starting with a dotted revno.
3030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
3032
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
3033
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
3034
(Martin Pool, #288751)
3036
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3037
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3038
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3040
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
3041
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
3042
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
3044
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
3045
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
3046
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
3047
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
3049
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
3050
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
3051
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
3053
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
3054
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
3059
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
3060
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
3061
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
3062
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
3064
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
3065
have changed incompatibly.
3067
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
3068
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
3069
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
3070
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
3071
don't need to change.
3073
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
3074
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
3079
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
3080
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
3082
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
3088
:Released: 2008-11-07
3090
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
3091
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
3092
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
3093
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
3094
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
3095
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
3100
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
3101
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
3103
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
3105
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
3106
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
3107
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
3113
:Released: 2008-10-31
3118
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
3119
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
3121
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
3122
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
3123
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
3124
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
3129
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
3130
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
3131
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
3132
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
3133
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
3134
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
3136
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
3137
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3139
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
3140
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
3141
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
3143
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
3144
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
3145
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
3148
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
3149
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
3151
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
3152
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
3154
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
3155
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
3157
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
3158
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
3159
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
3160
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
3161
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
3162
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
3163
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
3164
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
3165
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
3166
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3171
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
3172
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
3174
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
3175
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
3177
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
3178
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
3179
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
3181
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
3182
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
3183
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
3185
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
3186
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
3187
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
3189
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
3190
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
3191
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
3192
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
3193
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
3194
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
3196
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
3197
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
3199
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
3200
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
3202
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
3203
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
3204
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
3205
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
3206
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3208
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3209
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3210
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3211
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3216
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
3221
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
3226
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
3227
configuration of authetication credentials.
3233
:Released: 2008-10-16
3235
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
3236
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
3237
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
3238
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
3239
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
3244
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
3245
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
3250
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
3251
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
3257
:Released: 2008-10-07
3262
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
3263
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
3264
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
3265
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
3266
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3268
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
3269
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
3271
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
3272
server. (Marius Kruger)
3274
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
3275
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
3276
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
3277
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
3278
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
3279
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
3284
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
3285
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
3286
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
3288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
3293
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
3294
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
3295
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
3296
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
3298
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
3299
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
3302
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
3303
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
3306
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
3309
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
3311
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
3312
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
3314
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
3315
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3317
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3318
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3319
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3320
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3321
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3322
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3323
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3324
operations. (Robert Collins)
3326
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3328
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3329
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3330
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3335
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3336
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3337
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3339
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3340
repository now preserves the repository format.
3341
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3343
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3344
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3346
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3347
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3349
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3351
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3353
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3356
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
3357
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
3358
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
3360
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
3361
is in a different repository than the current one.
3362
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
3364
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
3365
(David Futcher, #242106)
3367
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
3368
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3370
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
3371
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
3372
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
3373
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
3375
* Trivial documentation fix.
3376
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
3378
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3379
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3380
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3381
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3386
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
3391
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
3392
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
3393
to use. (Robert Collins)
3395
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
3396
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
3397
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
3399
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
3400
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
3401
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
3402
they want. (Robert Collins)
3407
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
3408
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
3409
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
3411
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
3412
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
3415
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
3418
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
3419
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
3421
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
3427
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
3428
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
3430
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
3431
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
3432
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
3434
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
3435
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
3436
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
3438
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
3439
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3441
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
3442
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
3444
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
3445
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
3447
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
3448
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
3449
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
3450
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
3458

3460
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
3466
:Released: 2008-09-24
3468
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3469
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3474
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3475
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3476
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3477
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
3478
(John Arbash Meinel)
3484
:Released: 2008-09-23
3486
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3487
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3488
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3489
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3490
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3491
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
3496
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
3497
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
3498
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
3504
:Released: 2008-09-17
3506
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
3507
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
3508
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
3509
connect to the stacked-on location.
3514
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3515
repository now preserves the repository format.
3516
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3518
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
3519
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
3521
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
3524
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3531
:Released: 2008-09-09
3533
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3534
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3535
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3536
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3537
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
3538
it in a future repository format.
3544
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3547
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3548
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3549
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
3551
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3552
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3553
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3558
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3559
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3561
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3566
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3567
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3570
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3571
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3573
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3574
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3577
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3578
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3579
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3580
(John Arbash Meinel)
3582
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3583
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3585
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3586
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3587
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3588
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3589
(John Arbash Meinel)
3591
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3592
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3593
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3594
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3595
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3596
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3597
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3598
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3599
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3600
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3605
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3606
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3608
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3609
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3610
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3612
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3613
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3614
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3616
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3617
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3618
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3619
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3620
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3621
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3623
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3624
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3626
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3627
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3629
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3630
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3631
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3632
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3633
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3634
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3636
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3637
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3639
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3640
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3642
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3643
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3644
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3645
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3647
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3648
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3650
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3651
assuming the host name is ascii.
3652
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3654
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3655
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3660
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3665
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3667
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3668
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3669
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3672
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3673
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3675
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3676
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3678
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3679
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3684
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3685
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3686
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3687
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3689
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3693
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3694
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3695
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3697
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3703
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3704
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3707
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3708
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3709
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3710
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3711
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3713
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3714
is unknown in both source and target.
3715
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3717
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3718
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3719
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3720
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3722
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3723
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3724
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3725
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

:Released: 2008-09-05
3733
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3734
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3735
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3741
:Released: 2008-09-03
3746
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3747
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3748
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3749
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3755
:Released: 2008-08-29
3757
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3758
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3759
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3760
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3761
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3762
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3763
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3764
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3765
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3766
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3767
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3768
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3773
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3774
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3775
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3776
start of the string (causing more copies).
3777
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3778
especially for projects with large files.
3779
(John Arbash Meinel)
3781
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3782
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3783
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3784
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3785
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3787
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3788
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3789
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3790
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3791
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

3800
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3801
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3802
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3803
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3804
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3805
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3806
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3807
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3808
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3814
:Released: 2008-08-19
3819
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3820
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3821
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3822
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3823
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3829
:Released: 2008-08-18
3834
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3835
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3836
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3842
:Released: 2008-08-14
3847
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3848
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3854
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3855
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3856
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3862
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3863
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3864
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3866
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3867
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3868
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3869
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3870
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3871
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3872
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3878
:Released: 2008-08-13
3880
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3886
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3887
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3889
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3890
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3893
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3894
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3895
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3896
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3897
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3899
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3900
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3902
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3903
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3905
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3906
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3908
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3909
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3910
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3911
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3912
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3913
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3919
:Released: 2008-08-06
3921
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3922
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3923
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3924
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3925
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3930
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3931
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3932
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3937
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3938
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3940
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3941
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3943
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3944
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3945
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3947
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3950
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3951
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3952
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3953
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3954
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3955
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3956
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3958
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3959
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3960
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3965
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3966
physical repository boundaries.
3967
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3969
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3970
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3972
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3973
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3976
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3979
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3980
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3981
that Python is running from.
3982
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3984
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3985
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3986
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3988
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3989
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3991
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3992
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3993
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3995
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3996
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3998
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3999
(James Westby, #248448)
4004
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
4005
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
4006
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
4009
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
4010
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
4013
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
4014
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
4015
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
4016
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
4017
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
4018
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
4021
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
4022
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4024
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
4025
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
4026
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
4027
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
4028
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
4029
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
4034
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
4035
putting together a real history without having to create a full
4036
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
4037
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
4038
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
4039
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4041
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
4042
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
4043
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
4045
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
4048
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
4049
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
4051
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
4058
:Released: 2008-07-17
4060
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
4061
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
4062
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
4063
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
4069
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
4070
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
4071
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
4073
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
4074
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
4075
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
4076
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
4077
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
4080
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
4082
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
4083
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
4084
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
4090
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
4091
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
4094
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
4095
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
4096
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
4097
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
4099
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
4100
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
4101
(Christophe Troestler)
4103
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
4104
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
4106
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
4107
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
4108
faster. The new request method name is
4109
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4114
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
4115
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
4116
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
4117
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
4118
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
4120
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
4121
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
4123
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
4124
requires a branch to be present.
4125
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
4127
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
4129
(Martin Pool, #205230)
4131
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
4132
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
4133
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
4134
(Martin Pool, #240161)
4136
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
4137
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
4139
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
4141
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
4143
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
4144
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
4145
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
4146
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
4147
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
4149
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
4150
(Martin Pool, #172870)
4152
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
4153
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
4155
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
4157
(Matt McClure, #209281)
4159
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
4160
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
4162
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
4163
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
4168
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
4171
* Updated developer documentation.
4177
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
4178
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
4180
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
4181
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
4182
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
4183
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
4188
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
4189
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
4190
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
4191
Repository docstring for more details.
4194
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
4195
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
4196
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
4198
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
4199
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
4202
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
4203
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
4204
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
4205
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
4210
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
4211
(Alexander Belchenko)
4213
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
4214
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
4215
containing a given location.
4218
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
4219
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
4220
storage. (Robert Collins)
4222
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
4225
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
4226
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

4235
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
151
4236
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
152
4237
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is

* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
158
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
159
reading from the repository.)
160
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
162
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
163
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
165
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
166
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
169
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
170
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
171
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
173
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
174
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
175
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
177
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
178
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
180
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
181
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
182
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
183
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
187
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
189
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
190
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
191
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
194
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
195
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
199
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
203
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
204
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
208
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
209
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
210
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
211
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
212
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
216
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
217
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
219
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
220
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

4267
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
4268
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4293
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4298
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4299
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4300
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4301
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4302
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4304
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
4305
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
4310
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
4311
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)

uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
967

---------------------
980
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
982
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
983
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
987
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
988
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
989
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
990
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
993
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
994
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
995
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
996
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
997
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
998
(Alexander Belchenko)
1000
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1001
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1002
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1003
(Alexander Belchenko)
1005
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1007
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1008
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1012
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1013
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1015
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1016
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1021
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1023
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1025
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1026
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1027
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1029
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1030
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1032
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1033
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1035
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1036
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1037
(Alexander Belchenko)
1039
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1040
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1041
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1042
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1044
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1047
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1048
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1049
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1050
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1051
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1055
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1056
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1057
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1058
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1060
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1061
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1063
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1064
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1066
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1067
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1068
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1070
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1071
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1073
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1076
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1077
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1079
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1081
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1083
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1084
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1086
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1087
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1089
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1090
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1092
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1093
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1095
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1096
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1098
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1099
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1103
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1104
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1108
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1109
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1110
(Alexander Belchenko)
1114
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1116
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1117
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1122
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1123
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1124
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1126
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1127
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1128
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1129
(Alexander Belchenko)
1131
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1132
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1133
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1134
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1136
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1137
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1138
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1141
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1142
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1143
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1145
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1146
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1147
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1149
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1150
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1151
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1152
format. (Robert Collins)
1160
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1164
---------------------
1166
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1168
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1169
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1170
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1171
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1172
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1177
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1178
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1180
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1181
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1182
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1184
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1185
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1186
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1187
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1188
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1189
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1194
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1195
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1197
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1198
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1199
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1202
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1203
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1204
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1205
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1206
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1208
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1209
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1210
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1211
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1212
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1213
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1214
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1215
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1219
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1220
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1222
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1223
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1225
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1226
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1228
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1229
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1230
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1232
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1233
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1234
(John Arbash Meinel)
1238
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1239
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1241
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1242
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1244
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1245
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1247
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1248
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1249
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1251
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1252
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1253
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1255
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1256
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1258
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1259
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1260
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1261
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1262
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1264
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1266
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1267
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1270
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1271
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1273
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1274
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1276
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1279
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1280
more characters which should be considered valid.
1281
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1283
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1284
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1286
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1287
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1291
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1292
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1294
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1295
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1300
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1301
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1306
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1307
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1308
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1310
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1311
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1312
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1314
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1315
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1316
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1317
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1319
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1321
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1322
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1323
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1324
server. (Robert Collins)
1326
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1327
operate. (Robert Collins)
1329
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1330
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1331
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1333
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1334
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1335
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1336
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1338
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1339
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1341
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1342
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1343
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1345
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1346
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1348
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1349
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1351
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1352
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1353
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1354
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
5108
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

Notes When Upgrading
5119
********************
5121
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
5122
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
5127
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
5128
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
5129
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
5130
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
5133
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
5134
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
5135
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
5136
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
5137
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
5138
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
5140
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
5141
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
5142
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
5143
(Alexander Belchenko)
5145
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5147
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
5148
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
5153
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
5154
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
5156
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
5157
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
5163
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
5165
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5167
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
5168
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
5169
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
5171
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
5172
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
5174
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
5175
to. (Daniel Watkins)
5177
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
5178
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
5179
(Alexander Belchenko)
5181
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
5182
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
5183
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
5184
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
5186
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
5189
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
5190
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
5191
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
5192
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
5193
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5198
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
5199
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
5200
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
5201
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
5203
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
5204
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
5206
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
5207
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
5209
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
5210
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
5211
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
5213
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
5214
(#198793, John Ferlito)
5216
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
5219
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
5220
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
5222
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
5224
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
5226
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
5227
symlinks (James Henstridge)
5229
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
5230
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
5232
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
5233
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
5235
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
5236
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
5238
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
5239
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
5241
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
5242
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
5247
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
5248
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5253
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
5254
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
5255
(Alexander Belchenko)
5260
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
5262
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
5263
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
5269
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
5270
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
5271
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
5273
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
5274
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
5275
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
5276
(Alexander Belchenko)
5278
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
5279
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
5280
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
5281
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
5283
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
5284
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
5285
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
5288
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
5289
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
5290
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
5292
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
5293
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
5294
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
5296
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
5297
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
5298
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
5299

repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
5477
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
5479
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
5481
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
5482
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
5483
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
5484
server. (Robert Collins)
5486
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
5487
operate. (Robert Collins)
5489
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
5490
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
5491
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
5493
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
5494
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
5495
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
5496
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
5498
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
5499
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
5501
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
5502
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
5503
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
5505
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
5506
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
5508
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
5509
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
5511
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
5512
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
5513
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
5514
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

(no changes from 1.1rc1)
1362
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1363
---------------------
1367
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1368
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1369
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1370
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1372
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1373
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1374
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1375
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1379
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1382
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1385
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1386
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1390
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1393
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1394
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1395
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1397
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1399
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1400
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1401
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1402
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1403
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1405
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1406
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1407
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1409
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1410
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1412
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1415
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1417
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1419
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1422
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1423
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1427
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1428
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1430
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1433
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1436
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1437
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1439
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1440
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1442
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1443
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1445
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1446
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1448
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1449
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1450
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1452
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1455
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1456
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1459
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1461
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1462
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1465
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1466
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1468
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1471
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1474
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1475
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1477
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1480
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1481
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1484
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1485
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1486
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1490
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1493
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1494
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1495
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1496
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1497
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1498
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1500
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1504
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1507
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1508
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1510
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1512
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1513
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1514
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1517
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1518
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1520
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1527
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1528
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1529
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1531
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1532
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1535
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1536
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1538
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1539
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1541
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1542
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1544
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1545
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1546
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1548
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1549
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1551
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1552
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1554
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1555
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1558
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1559
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1561
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1562
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
1570
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1572
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
1575
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
1577
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
1578
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
1582
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
1583
---------------------
1587
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1588
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
1589
by mail to the mailing list.
1594
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1596
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1597
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1598
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1599
feedback but also incur more latency.
1600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1602
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1603
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1607
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1609
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
1614
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1615
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1616
wraps its output in a StringIO.
1620
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
1621
---------------------
1625
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1627
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1630
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1633
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1634
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1635
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1636
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1638
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1641
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1642
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1644
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1645
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1646
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1648
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1649
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1650
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1651
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1652
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1653
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1654
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1655
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1656
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1660
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1663
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1667
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1668
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1670
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1672
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1674
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1675
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1679
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1680
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1682
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1683
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1687
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1688
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
1691
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1692
---------------------
1694
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1696
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1697
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1698
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1699
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1701
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1702
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1704
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1705
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1707
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1708
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1709
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1710
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1711
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1712
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1713
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1714
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1715
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1716
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1717
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1718
from any tree without problems.
1719
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1723
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1724
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1725
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1727
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1728
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1729
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1734
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1735
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1736
supported transports.
1739
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1740
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1741
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1743
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1744
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1746
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1747
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1748
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1749
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1751
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1752
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1756
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1757
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1758
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1759
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1761
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1762
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1763
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1764
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1766
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1767
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1769
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1770
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1772
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1773
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1775
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1776
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1781
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1784
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1785
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1788
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1789
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1790
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1791
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1793
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1794
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1795
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1796
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1802
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1803
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1805
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1806
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1808
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1809
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1811
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1814
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1815
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1817
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1818
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1820
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1823
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1826
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1827
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1829
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1830
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1831
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1833
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1834
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1836
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1837
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1839
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1840
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1842
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1845
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1846
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1847
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1848
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1850
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1852
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1853
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1856
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1857
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1859
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1861
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1863
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1864
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1866
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1867
specify a port in urls.
1868
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1870
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1871
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1873
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1874
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1876
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1877
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1879
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1880
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1882
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1883
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1884
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1886
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1888
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1889
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1891
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1894
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1895
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1897
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1898
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1900
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1901
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1902
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1904
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1905
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1907
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1908
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1909
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1910
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1912
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1913
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1915
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1916
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1917
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1919
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1920
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1922
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1925
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1926
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1930
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1931
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1933
* The return value of
1934
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1935
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1936
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1937
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1939
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1942
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1943
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1949
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1950
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1951
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1954
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1955
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1957
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
5527
:Released: 2008-01-05
5532
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
5533
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
5534
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
5535
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5537
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
5538
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
5539
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
5540
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
5545
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
5548
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
5551
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
5552
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
5557
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
5560
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
5561
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
5562
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
5564
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
5566
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
5567
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
5568
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
5569
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
5570
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
5572
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
5573
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
5574
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
5576
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
5577
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
5579
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
5582
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
5584
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
5586
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
5589
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
5590
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
5595
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
5596
(Martin Pool, #180208)
5598
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
5599
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
5601
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
5604
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
5605
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
5607
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
5608
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
5610
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
5611
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5613
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
5614
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
5616
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
5617
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
5618
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
5620
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
5621
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
5623
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
5624
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
5627
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
5629
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
5630
user:pass embedded in the urls.
5631
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
5633
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
5634
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
5636
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
5639
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
5642
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
5643
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
5645
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
5648
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
5649
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
5652
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
5653
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
5654
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
5659
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
5662
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
5663
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
5664
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
5665
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
5666
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
5667
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
5669
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
5674
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
5677
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
5678
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
5680
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
5682
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
5683
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
5684
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
5687
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
5688
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5690
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
5699
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
5700
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
5701
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
5703
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
5704
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
5707
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
5708
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
5710
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
5711
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5713
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
5714
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5716
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
5717
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
5718
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5720
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
5721
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
5723
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
5724
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5726
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
5727
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
5730
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
5731
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
5733
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
5734
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
5740
:Released: 2007-12-14
5745
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5747
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
5750
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
5752
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
5753
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
5760
:Released: 2007-12-11
5765
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
5766
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
5767
by mail to the mailing list.
5773
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
5775
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
5776
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
5777
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
5778
feedback but also incur more latency.
5779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
5781
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
5782
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
5787
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5789
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
5795
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
5796
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
5797
wraps its output in a StringIO.
5804
:Released: 2007-12-07
5809
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
5811
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
5814
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
5817
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
5818
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
5819
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
5820
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5822
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
5825
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
5826
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
5828
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
5829
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
5830
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
5832
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
5833
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
5834
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
5835
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
5836
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
5837
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
5838
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
5839
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
5840
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
5845
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
5848
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
5853
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
5854
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
5856
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
5858
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
5860
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
5861
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are

(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
5865
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.

* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
5869
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)

* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
5875
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
5884
********************
5886
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5887
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5888
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5889
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5891
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5892
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5894
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5895
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5897
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5898
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5899
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5900
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5901
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5902
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5903
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5904
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5905
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5906
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5907
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5908
from any tree without problems.
5909
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5914
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5915
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5916
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5918
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5919
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5925
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5926
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5927
supported transports.
5930
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5931
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5932
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5934
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5935
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5937
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5938
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5939
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5940
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5942
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5943
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5948
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5949
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5950
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5951
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5953
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5954
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5955
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5956
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5958
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5959
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5961
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5962
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5964
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5965
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5967
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5968
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5974
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5977
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5978
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5981
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5982
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5983
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5984
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5986
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5987
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5988
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5989
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5997
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5998
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
6000
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
6001
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
6003
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
6004
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
6006
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
6007
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
6009
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
6010
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
6012
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
6013
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
6015
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
6016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
6018
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
6021
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
6022
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
6024
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
6025
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
6026
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
6028
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
6029
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
6031
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
6032
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
6034
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
6035
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
6037
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
6038
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
6040
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
6041
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
6042
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
6043
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
6045
(Martin Pool, #164637)
6047
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
6048
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
6049
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
6051
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
6052
(Robert Collins, #161240)
6054
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
6056
(Martin Pool, #164443)
6058
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
6059
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
6061
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
6062
specify a port in urls.
6063
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
6065
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
6066
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
6068
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
6069
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
6071
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
6072
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
6074
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
6075
(Robert Collins, #153789)
6077
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
6078
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
6079
(Robert Collins, #165304).
6081
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
6083
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
6084
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
6086
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
6089
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
6090
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
6092
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
6093
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
6095
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
6096
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
6097
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
6099
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
6100
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
6102
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
6103
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
6104
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
6105
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
6107
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
6108
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
6110
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
6111
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
6112
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
6114
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
6115
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
6117
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
6118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
6120
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
6121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
6126
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
6127
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
6129
* The return value of
6130
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
6131
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
6132
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
6133
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
6135
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
6138
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
6139
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
6146
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
6147
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
6148
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
6151
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
6152
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
6154
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
6160
:Released: 2007-11-05

* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1970
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1971
----------------------
1973
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1977
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1978
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1980
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1981
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1982
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1983
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1984
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1985
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1986
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1987
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1988
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1989
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1990
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1991
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1996
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1997
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1998
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1999
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2000
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2001
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2003
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2004
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2005
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2008
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2010
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2011
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2013
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2014
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2017
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2018
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2019
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2023
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2024
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2026
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2027
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2029
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2030
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2031
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2032
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2034
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2037
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2038
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2039
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2040
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2042
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2043
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2045
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2046
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2048
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2049
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2051
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2052
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2056
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2057
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2059
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2060
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2062
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2063
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2065
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2066
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2068
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2069
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2073
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2075
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2080
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2081
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2082
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2084
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2085
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2087
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2088
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2090
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2091
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2092
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2093
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2095
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2096
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2097
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2098
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2099
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2101
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2102
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2106
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2108
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2109
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2111
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2114
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2117
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2118
contains a symbolic link.
2119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2121
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2122
(James Westby, #140615)
2124
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2125
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2128
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2129
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2130
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2132
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2134
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2137
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2139
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2141
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2142
directory to detect leaking tests.
2143
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2145
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2146
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2147
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2149
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2152
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2153
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2155
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2160
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2161
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2163
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2164
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2165
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2167
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2168
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2169
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2171
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2172
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2174
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2175
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2177
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2178
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2181
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2182
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2184
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2185
class that needs it.
2188
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2189
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2191
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2192
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2193
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2195
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2196
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2197
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2200
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2201
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2202
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2203
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2208
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2209
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2210
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2212
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2213
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2214
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2215
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2217
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2218
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2221
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2222
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2223
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2225
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2226
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2227
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2229
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2230
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2232
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2233
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2234
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2236
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2237
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2239
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2240
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2241
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2243
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2244
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2245
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2247
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2248
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2249
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2250
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2252
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2253
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2254
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2255
returned. (Robert Collins)
2257
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2258
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2260
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2261
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2262
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2263
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2266
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2267
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2271
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2272
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2274
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2275
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2276
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2277
makes this behavior available to other users.
2280
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2281
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2289
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2290
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2291
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2293
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2295
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2296
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2297
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2298
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2300
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2301
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2305
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2306
----------------------
2308
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2309
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2312
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2313
----------------------
2317
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2318
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2319
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2320
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2323
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2324
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2325
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2330
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2331
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2332
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2335
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2336
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2337
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2339
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2340
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2341
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2343
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2344
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2346
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2347
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2348
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2349
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2350
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2351
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2352
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2353
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2354
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2355
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2357
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2358
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2360
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2361
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2362
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2366
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2367
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2369
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2370
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2371
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2373
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2374
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2376
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2377
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2379
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2382
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2383
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2385
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2386
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2388
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2389
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2391
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2392
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2394
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2396
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2399
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2400
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2401
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2402
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2404
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2406
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2407
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2410
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2411
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2413
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2414
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2417
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2418
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2420
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2421
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2423
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2424
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2425
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2426
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2427
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2428
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2429
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2431
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2432
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2434
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2435
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2437
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2438
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2440
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2443
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2445
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2447
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2448
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2450
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2451
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2452
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2454
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2455
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2456
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2460
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2461
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2463
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2466
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2469
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2470
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2472
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2474
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2475
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2477
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2478
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2480
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2481
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2482
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2483
space). (Robert Collins)
2485
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2486
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2489
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2490
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2492
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2493
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2495
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2496
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2497
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2498
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2500
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2501
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2502
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2505
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2508
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2509
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2510
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2512
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2513
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2514
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2515
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2516
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2520
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2521
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2523
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2524
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2525
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2526
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2527
affected. (Robert Collins)
2529
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2530
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2531
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2534
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2535
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2539
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2540
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2542
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2543
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2545
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2546
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2548
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2551
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2552
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2556
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2557
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2558
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2559
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2561
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2562
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2564
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2565
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2566
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2567
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2569
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2570
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2571
present. (Robert Collins)
2573
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2574
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2575
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2576
API. (Robert Collins)
2578
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2579
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2582
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2583
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2585
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2586
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2587
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2588
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2589
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2590
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2592
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2593
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2594
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2596
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2597
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2598
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2599
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2602
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2605
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2606
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2607
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2608
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2609
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2610
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2611
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2613
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2614
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2615
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2616
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2618
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2619
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2620
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2621
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2622
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2623
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2625
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2626
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2627
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2629
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2630
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2638
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2639
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2640
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2641
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2642
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2643
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2644
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2645
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2650
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2651
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2652
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2655
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2656
----------------------
2660
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2661
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2662
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2663
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2664
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2666
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2667
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2669
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2673
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2674
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2677
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2678
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2681
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2684
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2685
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2687
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2688
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2690
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2691
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2693
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2694
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2696
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2697
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2699
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2704
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2705
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2707
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2708
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2710
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2711
the repository (Robert Collins)
2713
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2714
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2715
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2716
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2717
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2719
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2720
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2722
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2723
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2724
(John Arbash Meinel)
2726
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2727
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2728
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2730
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2731
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2732
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2733
(John Arbash Meinel)
2735
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2736
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2739
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2740
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2742
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2745
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2747
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2749
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2750
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2752
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2753
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2756
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2757
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2758
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2759
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2761
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2762
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2763
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2765
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2766
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2767
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2769
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2770
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2772
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2773
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2774
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2775
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2776
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2777
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2780
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2781
(Alexander Belchenko)
2783
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2784
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2786
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2787
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2789
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2791
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2792
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2796
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2797
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2798
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2799
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2801
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2803
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2806
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2807
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2808
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2809
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2810
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2811
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2815
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2816
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2817
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2818
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2820
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2821
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2822
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2823
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2824
tests have been refactored too.
2827
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2828
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2829
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2833
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2834
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2835
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2837
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2838
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2839
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2840
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2841
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2842
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2843
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2845
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2846
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2847
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2848
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2849
(John Arbash Meinel)
2851
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2852
functionality for testing.
2854
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2856
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2857
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2859
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2861
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2864
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2865
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2867
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2868
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2869
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2871
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2874
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2875
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2877
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2878
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2879
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2880
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2882
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2883
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2885
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2886
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2887
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2889
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2892
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2893
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2894
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2895
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2896
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2897
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2899
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2900
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2901
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2902
many files. (Robert Collins)
2904
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2905
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2906
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2907
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2911
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2912
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2913
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2915
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2916
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2918
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2919
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2920
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2924
--------------------
2928
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2931
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2932
-----------------------
2936
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2937
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2939
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2940
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2941
(James Westby, #122656)
2943
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2944
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2946
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2947
authentication header.
2948
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2950
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2952
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2953
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2955
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2957
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2958
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2960
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2961
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2964
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2965
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2966
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2968
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2969
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2971
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2974
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2975
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2977
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2979
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2983
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2984
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2985
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2986
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2987
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2988
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2990
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2991
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2992
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2994
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2997
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2998
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3000
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3001
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3003
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3004
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3006
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3007
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3008
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3009
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3010
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3012
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3013
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3015
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3016
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3017
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3019
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3020
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3022
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3024
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3025
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3027
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3028
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3031
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3034
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3035
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3037
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3038
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3040
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3041
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3043
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3045
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3046
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3048
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3053
* Testing cleanups -
3054
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3055
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3056
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3057
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3058
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3059
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3060
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3061
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3062
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3063
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3064
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3065
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3066
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3067
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3068
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3069
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3070
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3073
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3075
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3076
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3077
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3079
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3080
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3082
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3083
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3085
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3087
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3088
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3089
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3090
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3091
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3092
same location. (Robert Collins)
3096
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3098
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3100
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3102
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3105
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3108
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3109
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3110
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3112
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3114
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3115
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3116
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3118
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3119
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3121
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3122
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3123
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3125
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3126
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3127
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3129
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3130
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3131
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3133
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3134
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3137
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3138
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3140
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3141
(Alexander Belchenko)
3145
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3146
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3147
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3148
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3150
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3151
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3152
testing. (Robert Collins)
3154
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3155
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3157
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3158
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3159
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3160
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3161
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3162
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3163
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3165
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3166
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3167
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3168
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3170
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3171
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3173
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3174
avoid useless cloning.
3175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
3179
--------------------
3183
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
3184
(Colin Watson, #120647)
3186
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
3187
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
3190
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
3191
-----------------------
3193
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3195
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3196
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3197
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3198
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3199
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3200
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3201
and unlock() like so::
3203
work_tree.lock_read()
3205
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3210
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3211
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3213
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3214
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3215
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3217
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3218
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3219
too. (Robert Collins)
3223
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3224
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3227
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3228
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3230
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3231
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3233
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3234
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3235
understanding what changes have occurred
3236
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3238
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3239
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3240
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3242
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3243
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3244
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3245
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3247
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3252
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3253
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3254
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3255
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3256
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3258
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3259
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3260
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3262
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3263
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3265
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3269
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3270
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3272
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3273
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3275
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3276
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3278
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3279
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3281
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3282
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3284
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3285
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3286
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
3289
--------------------
3293
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3294
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3295
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3296
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3297
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3299
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3300
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3301
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3303
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3304
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3308
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3309
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3310
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3312
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3313
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3314
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3315
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3317
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3318
-----------------------
3322
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3323
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3324
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3325
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3327
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3328
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3329
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3331
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3332
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3334
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3335
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3337
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3338
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3340
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3341
-----------------------
3343
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3345
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3346
it could be recovered again.
3347
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3348
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3349
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3351
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3353
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3354
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3358
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3359
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3361
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3362
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3363
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3364
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3366
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3367
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3369
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3370
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3371
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3373
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3374
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3375
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3377
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3378
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3379
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3381
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3382
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3385
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3388
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3389
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3390
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3391
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3393
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3396
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3397
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3398
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3401
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3402
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3404
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3405
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3407
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3408
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3409
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3410
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3413
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3414
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3416
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3417
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3419
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3420
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3421
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3423
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3424
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3425
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3427
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3428
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3429
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3431
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3432
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3433
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3434
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3436
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3437
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3438
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3439
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3441
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3442
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3443
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3444
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3445
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3446
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3447
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3448
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3454
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3455
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3457
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3458
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3459
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3460
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3461
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3463
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3464
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3466
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3467
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3469
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3470
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3472
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3473
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3475
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3476
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3477
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3480
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3481
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3482
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3483
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3484
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3487
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3488
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3489
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3491
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3492
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3495
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3496
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3497
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3500
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3501
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3502
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3503
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3504
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3506
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3507
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3508
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3509
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3511
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3512
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3514
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3515
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3516
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3517
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3518
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3519
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3521
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3522
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3524
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3525
help. (Robert Collins)
3527
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3528
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3530
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3531
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3532
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3533
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3534
(John Arbash Meinel)
3536
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3537
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3538
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3539
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3540
useful. (Robert Collins)
3542
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3547
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3548
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3550
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3551
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3553
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3554
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3555
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3557
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3560
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3561
the file, and does it faster.
3562
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3564
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3565
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3566
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3568
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3569
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3570
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3571
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3573
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3574
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3575
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3576
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3578
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3579
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3581
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3582
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3583
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3584
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3587
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3589
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3590
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3592
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3593
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3595
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3596
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3597
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3598
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3602
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3603
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3607
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3608
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3609
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3611
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3612
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3614
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3615
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3616
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3617
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3618
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3619
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3620
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3621
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3623
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3624
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3625
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3627
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3628
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3629
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3630
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3631
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3633
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3635
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3636
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3637
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3639
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3640
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
3648
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
3651
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
3652
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
3655
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
3656
-----------------------
3660
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3661
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3666
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3667
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3668
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3669
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3670
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3671
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3672
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3673
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3678
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3679
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3680
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3682
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3683
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3686
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3687
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3688
(John Arbash Meinel)
3690
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3691
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3692
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3693
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3694
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3698
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3701
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3702
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3704
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3705
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3707
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3708
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3709
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3711
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3712
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3714
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3715
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3716
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3717
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3718
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3720
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3721
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3722
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3724
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
3727
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3728
-----------------------
3730
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3732
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3733
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3734
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3738
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3739
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3741
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3742
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3744
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3746
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3747
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3749
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3750
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3754
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3759
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3760
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3761
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3762
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3764
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3765
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3767
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3768
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3770
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3773
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3774
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
3777
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3778
-----------------------
3782
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3783
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3784
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3785
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3786
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3787
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3789
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3790
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3791
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3792
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3793
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3794
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3796
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3798
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3799
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3800
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3801
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3802
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3803
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3804
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3805
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3809
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3810
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3812
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3813
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3814
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3815
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3817
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3818
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3819
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3820
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3821
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3823
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3826
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3829
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3832
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3833
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3836
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3839
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3840
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3842
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3843
directory. (Martin Pool)
3845
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3846
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3847
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3848
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3850
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3851
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3852
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3853
in docs/configuration.txt.
3855
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3856
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3859
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3860
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3861
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3862
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3863
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3864
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3866
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3867
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3869
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3870
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3872
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3877
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3878
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3879
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3880
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3881
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3882
(John Arbash Meinel)
3884
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3885
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3888
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3889
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3890
(John Arbash Meinel)
3892
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3893
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3894
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3895
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3896
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3897
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3899
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3900
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3901
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3903
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3904
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3905
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3906
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3908
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3910
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3911
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3912
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3913
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3915
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3916
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3917
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3918
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3920
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3921
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3922
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3924
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3925
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3926
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3928
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3929
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3930
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3931
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3933
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3934
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3935
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3937
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3938
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3939
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3941
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3942
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3943
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3944
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3945
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3946
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3947
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3948
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3949
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3950
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3951
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3955
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3956
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3957
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3959
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3962
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3963
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3964
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3965
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3967
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3968
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3971
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3972
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3974
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3976
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3977
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3978
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3980
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3981
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3983
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3984
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3986
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3987
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3989
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3990
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3992
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3994
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3995
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3999
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4000
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
4004
--------------------
4008
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4012
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4013
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4014
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4016
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4017
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4018
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
4021
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4022
-----------------------
4026
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4027
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4028
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4029
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4031
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4034
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4035
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4036
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4038
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4039
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4041
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4044
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4045
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4046
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4047
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4048
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4049
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4051
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4052
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4053
should enable you to do::
4055
[/home/user/project]
4056
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4057
push_location:policy = appendpath
4059
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4060
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4063
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4064
for each file. For example::
4066
$ bzr status --short
4072
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4073
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4075
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4077
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4078
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4080
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4084
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4085
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4086
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4087
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4089
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4090
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4091
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4093
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4095
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4096
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4097
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4098
(Alexander Belchenko)
4100
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4103
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4104
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4106
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4110
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4111
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4113
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4114
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4115
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4116
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4117
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4119
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4120
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4122
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4123
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4125
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4127
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4129
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4130
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4131
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4132
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4133
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4135
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4136
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4137
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4138
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4140
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4141
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4143
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4144
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4146
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4147
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4149
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

No changes from 0.13rc1

bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
4159
-----------------------
4163
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4165
(Daniel Silverstone)
4167
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4168
operations are substantially faster.
4169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4171
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4172
tree from some other url. For example:
4173
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4174
(Daniel Silverstone)
4176
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4177
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4178
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4179
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4181
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4184
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4185
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4186
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4187
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4188
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4189
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4193
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4194
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4197
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4198
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4199
(John Arbash Meinel)
4201
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4202
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4203
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4204
(John Arbash Meinel)
4206
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4207
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4209
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4210
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4212
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4213
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4218
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4219
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4220
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4222
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4223
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4224
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4225
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4227
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4229
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4230
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4232
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4233
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4234
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4235
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4237
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4238
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4239
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4241
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4242
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4243
them as full references rather than integers.
4244
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4246
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4247
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4249
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4251
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4252
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4254
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4255
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4257
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4258
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4259
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4260
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4262
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4263
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4264
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4266
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4267
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4269
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4270
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4271
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4272
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4273
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4277
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4278
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4281
--------------------
4285
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4286
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4287
(John Arbash Meinel)
4289
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4290
-----------------------
4294
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4295
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4296
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4297
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4299
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4300
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4302
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4304
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4305
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4306
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4307
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4309
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4310
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4311
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4312
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4313
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4315
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4317
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4318
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4322
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4323
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4324
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4326
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4327
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4328
(John Arbash Meinel)
4330
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4331
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4332
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4334
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4335
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4338
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4339
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4340
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4342
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4343
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4344
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4345
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4346
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4347
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4349
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4350
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4351
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4354
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4355
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4359
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4360
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4361
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4364
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4365
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4367
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4368
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4369
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4371
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4372
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4374
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4375
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4376
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4377
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4379
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4380
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4382
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4383
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4384
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4386
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4387
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4389
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4391
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4392
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4397
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4398
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4399
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4400
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4402
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4403
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4404
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4407
--------------------
4409
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4411
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4412
-----------------------
4416
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4418
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4421
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4422
-----------------------
4426
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4427
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4428
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4429
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4430
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4431
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4432
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4434
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4435
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4436
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4438
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4440
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4441
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4443
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4444
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4445
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4448
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4449
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4450
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4451
(John Arbash Meinel)
4453
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4454
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4455
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4456
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4459
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4460
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4461
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4462
(John Arbash Meinel)
4466
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4467
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4469
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4471
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4472
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4473
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4475
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4476
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4478
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4479
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4481
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4484
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4485
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4487
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4489
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4490
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4492
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4493
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4495
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4496
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4498
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4499
(John Arbash Meinel)
4501
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4502
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4503
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4505
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4506
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4508
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4509
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4510
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4511
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4513
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4514
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4515
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4517
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4518
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4522
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4526
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4527
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4528
(John Arbash Meinel)
4530
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4531
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4532
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4533
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4535
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4538
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4539
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4540
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4542
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4543
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4545
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4546
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4547
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4549
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4550
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4551
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4552
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4553
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4554
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4555
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4556
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4557
caller to repeat their request.
4558
(John Arbash Meinel)
4560
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4561
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4563
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4564
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4566
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4567
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4568
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4569
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4570
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4571
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4572
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4574
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4575
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4576
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4577
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4578
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4579
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4580
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4581
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4584
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4585
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4586
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4588
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4589
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4591
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4592
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4594
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4595
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4599
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4600
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4602
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4603
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4604
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4606
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4607
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4608
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4611
--------------------
4614
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4615
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4617
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4618
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4619
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4620
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4621
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4623
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4624
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4625
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4627
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4628
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4630
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4631
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4632
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4636
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4638
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4639
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4640
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4642
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4644
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4646
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4647
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4648
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4649
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4651
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4652
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4653
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4654
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4655
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4657
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4658
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4660
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4661
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4663
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4664
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4666
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4667
in handling of revision properties.
4668
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4670
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4671
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4675
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4676
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4677
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4678
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4679
(John Arbash Meinel)
4681
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4682
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4683
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4685
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4686
---------------------
4690
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4691
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4692
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4693
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4694
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4695
a more conservative list than the old default.
4696
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4697
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4698
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4699
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4701
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4702
to more locations than just branch locations.
4707
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4708
revno:N:branch. For example,
4709
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4710
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4712
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4713
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4714
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4715
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4716
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4717
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4718
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4719
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4722
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4723
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4724
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4727
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4728
(Alexander Belchenko)
4730
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4732
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4735
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4736
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4737
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4738
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4739
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4740
(John Arbash Meinel)
4742
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4743
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4744
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4745
grained analysis of performance.
4746
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4748
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4749
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4751
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4752
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4753
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4754
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4755
file. (Robert Collins).
4757
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4758
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4759
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4761
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4762
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4765
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4766
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4768
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4769
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4770
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4771
the same way you would apply another branch.
4772
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4774
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4775
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4777
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4780
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4783
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4784
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4785
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4787
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4788
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4789
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4791
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4792
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4794
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4795
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4796
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4797
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4798
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4800
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4801
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4803
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4804
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4805
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4806
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4807
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4808
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4809
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4810
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4812
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4813
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4814
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4818
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4820
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4822
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4823
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4825
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4826
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4828
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4829
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4831
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4833
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4834
(John Arbash Meinel)
4836
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4837
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4839
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4840
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4843
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4844
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4846
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4847
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4849
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4850
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4851
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4852
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4854
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4855
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4857
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4859
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4860
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4862
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4864
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4866
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4867
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4869
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4870
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4872
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4873
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4874
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4876
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4877
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4878
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4880
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4881
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4883
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4884
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4886
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4887
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4889
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4890
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4892
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4893
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4895
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4896
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4897
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4899
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4901
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4902
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4906
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4907
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4908
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4910
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4911
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4913
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4914
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4915
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4917
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4918
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4920
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4921
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4924
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4925
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4926
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4928
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4929
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4930
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4932
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4933
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4934
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4936
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4937
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4938
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4940
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4941
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4942
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4944
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4945
instead. (Robert Collins)
4947
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
4949
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
4950
---------------------
4954
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
4956
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
4957
---------------------
4961
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4962
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4964
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4965
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4967
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4968
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4969
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4973
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4975
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4976
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4978
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4982
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4983
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4984
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4985
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4989
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4990
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4991
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4995
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4996
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4997
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5001
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5002
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5007
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5009
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5010
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5011
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5012
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5013
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5014
will keep the same format.
5016
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5017
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5018
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5019
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5020
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5022
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5023
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5024
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5025
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5026
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5027
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5028
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5030
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5031
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5032
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5033
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5034
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5036
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5037
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5038
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5044
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5045
convention. Paths now take the form::
5047
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5049
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5051
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5052
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5054
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5055
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5056
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5058
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5059
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5060
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5061
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5063
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5064
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5065
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5067
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5069
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5071
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5072
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5075
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5076
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5079
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5081
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5082
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5083
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5086
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5088
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5090
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5093
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5094
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5096
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5097
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5100
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5101
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5104
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5106
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5108
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5109
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5111
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5112
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5113
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5114
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5115
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5116
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5118
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5120
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5121
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5124
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5125
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5127
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5128
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5130
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5132
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5133
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5134
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5135
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5136
specification by Martin Pool.
5137
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5139
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5142
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5143
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5145
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5146
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5147
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5149
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5151
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5152
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5157
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5158
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5160
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5162
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5164
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5167
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5168
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5169
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5170
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5174
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5175
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5176
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5177
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5179
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5180
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5181
tried. (Martin Pool)
5183
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5186
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5188
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5189
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5190
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5192
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5193
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5195
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5196
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5197
paths. (Robert Collins)
5199
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5200
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5201
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5203
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5204
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5205
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5207
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5208
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5209
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5211
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5214
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5217
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5219
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5221
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5222
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5223
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5226
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5227
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5229
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5230
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5231
check. (Robert Collins)
5233
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5234
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5238
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5239
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5241
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5242
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5243
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5244
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5246
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5247
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5248
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5249
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5250
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5252
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5253
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5254
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5256
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5258
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5259
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5266
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5267
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5269
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5270
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5271
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5274
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5275
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5277
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5278
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5279
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5280
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5281
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5283
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5284
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5285
used. (Robert Collins)
5287
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5288
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5291
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5292
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5293
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5295
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5298
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5299
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5303
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5304
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5306
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5308
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5310
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5311
tree. (Robert Collins)
5313
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5314
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5315
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5318
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5321
* Tweaks to short log printing
5323
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5326
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5327
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5329
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5330
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5332
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5333
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5335
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5336
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5337
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5339
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5340
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5342
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5343
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5346
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5347
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5349
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5350
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5352
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5353
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5355
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5358
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5359
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5361
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5362
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5364
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5365
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5366
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5370
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5372
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5374
* Error when run with -OO
5376
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5379
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5381
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5383
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5384
ignored by diff and status
5386
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5387
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5389
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5391
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5393
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5394
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5396
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5397
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5399
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5402
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5403
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5405
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5407
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5408
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5410
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5413
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5414
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5416
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5420
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5421
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5423
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5425
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5427
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5429
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5430
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5431
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5433
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5435
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5436
(John Arbash Meinel)
5438
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5440
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5441
If adding a new test script please add that to
5442
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5444
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5445
imported. (Martin Pool)
5447
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5448
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5449
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5450
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5451
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5454
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5455
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5456
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5458
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5459
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5460
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5462
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5463
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5464
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5465
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5466
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5469
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5470
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5475
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5476
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5478
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5479
function. (Robert Collins)
5481
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5482
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5483
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5485
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5486
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5489
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5490
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5491
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5492
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5493
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5494
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5495
version. (Robert Collins)
5497
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5498
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5500
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5501
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5502
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5503
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5504
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5505
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5507
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5510
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5520
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5522
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5524
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5527
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5528
query method. (Robert Collins)
5530
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5533
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5536
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5539
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5540
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5541
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5542
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5544
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5545
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5546
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5547
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5549
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5550
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5557
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5560
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5564
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5565
a separator, not ':'.
5568
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5569
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5570
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5572
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5573
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5576
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5577
has been added that suppresses all output.
5579
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5582
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5583
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5585
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5586
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5588
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5589
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5591
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5592
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5593
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5594
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5596
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5598
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5599
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5601
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5602
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5604
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5605
output directory, if one was supplied.
5607
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5608
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5609
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5610
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5612
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5614
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5615
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5617
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5618
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5619
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5621
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5622
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5624
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5627
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5629
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5633
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5634
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5635
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5637
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5638
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5639
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5641
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5642
is given. (Martin Pool)
5644
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5645
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5646
file. (Robert Collins)
5648
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5653
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5654
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5655
representation. (Martin Pool).
5657
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5658
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5659
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5661
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5664
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5665
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5668
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5669
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5670
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5671
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5672
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5674
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5675
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5676
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5677
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5678
python path. (Robert Collins)
5680
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5681
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5682
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5683
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5685
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5686
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5688
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5689
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5692
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5693
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5694
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5696
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5697
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5698
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5700
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5701
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5703
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5704
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5705
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5708
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5709
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5710
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5711
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5714
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5717
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5718
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5721
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5722
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5723
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5725
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5726
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5727
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5729
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5730
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5731
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5733
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5734
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5736
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5737
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5738
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5739
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5740
caller. (Robert Collins)
5742
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5743
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5746
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5747
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5750
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5752
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5753
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5757
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5758
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5760
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5761
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5769
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5770
allow directories to be listed.
5772
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5773
upgrading branch format.
5777
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5785
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5786
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5787
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5788
high-latency connections.
5792
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5795
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5796
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5798
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5799
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5800
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5801
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5803
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5804
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5806
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5807
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5809
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5810
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5811
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5813
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5814
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5815
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5818
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5819
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5821
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5822
different partial views of history.
5824
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5825
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5829
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5830
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5831
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5833
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5834
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5837
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5838
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5840
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5843
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5844
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5846
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5847
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5848
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5849
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5851
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5853
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5854
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5857
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5858
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5860
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5861
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5862
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5867
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5868
for your viewing pleasure.
5870
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5871
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5873
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5874
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5875
handling of such circumstances.
5877
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5878
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5879
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5881
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5883
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5884
we call them revisions not patches.
5886
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5887
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5889
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5890
giving the revision *of that file*.
5892
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5893
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5894
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5898
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5899
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5901
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5902
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5905
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5906
--------------------
5910
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5912
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5915
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5917
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5919
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5920
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5924
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5925
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5927
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5928
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5929
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5930
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5933
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5934
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5938
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5940
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5941
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5944
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5945
--------------------
5949
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5950
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5951
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5952
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5955
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5958
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5959
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5960
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5961
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5962
for the operating system is still tried.
5964
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5965
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5966
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5971
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5975
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5977
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5980
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5986
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5988
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5991
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5992
--------------------
5996
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5997
help with intelligent shell completion.
5999
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6004
* Much better merge support.
6006
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6007
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6013
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6014
mention revisions that are not present.
6016
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6018
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6020
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6021
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6026
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6028
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6029
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6035
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6036
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6041
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6042
--------------------
6046
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6047
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6049
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6051
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6052
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6054
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6057
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6059
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6062
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6063
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6065
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6066
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6067
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6072
* Faster working tree operations.
6077
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6078
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6079
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6080
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6082
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6083
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6084
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6085
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6086
standard plugins directory.
6088
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6089
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6090
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6091
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6093
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6094
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6096
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6099
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6100
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6101
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6103
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6104
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6106
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6107
line options must come before the command name because they
6108
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6109
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6112
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6114
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6115
is available with ``--short``.
6120
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6123
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6124
---------------------
6128
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6129
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6131
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6132
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6133
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6134
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6136
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6137
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6138
with the ``--forward`` option.
6140
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6141
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6147
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6148
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6150
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6152
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6153
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6155
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6157
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6158
either read or write mode.
6160
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6162
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6165
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6167
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6168
suggested by LarstiQ.
6170
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6171
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6173
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6176
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6177
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6179
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6180
haven't changed since the previous time.
6182
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6183
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6185
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6187
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6189
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6190
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6192
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6193
options through to an external GNU diff.
6195
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6198
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6204
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6205
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6207
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6213
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6214
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6217
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6218
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6220
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6221
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6223
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6224
under a different version.
6226
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6231
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6233
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6234
Scott James Remnant.
6236
* Better help messages for many commands.
6238
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6239
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6241
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6242
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6244
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6246
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6248
* New AtomicFile class.
6250
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6255
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6256
2.4 is now only recommended.
6259
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6260
---------------------
6264
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6265
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6267
* More default ignore patterns.
6269
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6270
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6272
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6274
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6277
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6282
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6283
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6284
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6285
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6286
there are DNS problems.
6288
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6293
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6295
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6297
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6298
trailing newlines properly.
6303
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6306
* More tests in test.sh.
6308
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6309
directory and delete it when done.
6311
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6316
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6319
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6323
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6324
---------------------
6328
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6331
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6333
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6336
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6339
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6341
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6345
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6346
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6351
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6352
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6357
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6361
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6171
:Released: 2007-10-29
6176
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
6177
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
6179
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
6180
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
6181
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
6182
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
6183
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
6184
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
6185
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
6186
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
6187
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
6188
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
6189
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
6190
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
6196
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
6197
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
6198
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
6199
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
6200
commands. (Robert Collins)
6202
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
6203
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
6204
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
6207
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
6209
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
6210
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
6212
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
6213
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
6216
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
6217
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
6218
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
6223
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
6224
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6226
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
6227
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
6229
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
6230
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
6231
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
6232
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
6234
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
6237
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
6238
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
6239
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
6240
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
6242
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
6243
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
6245
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
6246
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
6248
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
6249
the contents. (Robert Collins)
6251
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
6252
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
6257
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
6258
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
6260
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
6261
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
6263
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
6264
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
6266
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
6267
(Martin Pool, #63894)
6269
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
6270
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
6275
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
6277
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
6283
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
6284
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
6285
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
6287
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
6288
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
6290
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
6291
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
6293
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
6294
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
6295
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
6296
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
6298
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
6299
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
6300
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
6301
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
6302
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
6304
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
6305
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
6307
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
6309
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6311
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
6312
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
6314
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
6315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6317
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6320
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6321
contains a symbolic link.
6322
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6324
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6325
(James Westby, #140615)
6327
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6328
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6329
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6331
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6332
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6333
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6335
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6337
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6340
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6344
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6345
directory to detect leaking tests.
6346
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6348
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6349
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6350
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6352
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6355
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6356
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
6358
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
6364
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
6365
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
6367
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
6368
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
6369
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
6371
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
6372
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
6373
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
6375
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
6376
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
6378
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
6379
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
6381
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
6382
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
6385
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
6386
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
6388
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
6389
class that needs it.
6392
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
6393
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
6395
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
6396
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
6397
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
6399
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
6400
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
6401
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
6404
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
6405
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
6406
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
6407
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
6413
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
6414
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
6415
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
6417
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
6418
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
6419
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
6420
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
6422
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
6423
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
6426
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
6427
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
6428
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
6430
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
6431
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
6432
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
6434
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
6435
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
6437
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
6438
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
6439
to complete. (Robert Collins)
6441
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
6442
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
6444
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
6445
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
6446
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
6448
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
6449
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
6450
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
6452
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
6453
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
6454
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
6455
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
6457
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
6458
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
6459
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
6460
returned. (Robert Collins)
6462
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
6463
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
6465
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
6466
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
6467
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
6468
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
6471
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
6472
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
6477
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
6478
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
6480
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
6481
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
6482
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
6483
makes this behavior available to other users.
6486
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
6487
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
6493
:Released: 2007-09-26
6498
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6499
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6500
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6502
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6504
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
6505
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
6506
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
6507
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
6509
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
6510
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
6517
:Released: 2007-09-11
6519
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
6520
in bzrlib/remote.py.
6526
:Released: 2007-09-11
6531
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6532
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
6533
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
6534
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
6537
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
6538
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
6539
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
6545
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6546
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
6547
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
6550
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
6551
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
6552
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
6554
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
6555
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
6556
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
6558
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
6559
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
6561
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
6562
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
6563
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
6564
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
6565
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
6566
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
6567
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
6568
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
6569
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
6570
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6572
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6573
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6575
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6576
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6577
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6582
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6583
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6585
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6586
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6587
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6589
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6590
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6592
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
6593
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
6595
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
6598
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
6599
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
6601
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
6602
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
6604
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
6605
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6607
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
6608
(Blake Winton, #129299)
6610
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
6612
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
6615
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
6616
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
6617
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
6618
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
6620
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6622
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
6623
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
6626
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
6627
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
6629
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
6630
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
6633
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
6634
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
6636
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
6637
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
6639
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
6640
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
6641
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6642
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6643
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6644
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
6645
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6647
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6648
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
6650
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
6651
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
6653
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
6654
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
6656
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
6657
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
6659
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
6661
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
6663
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
6664
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
6666
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
6667
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
6668
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
6670
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6671
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6672
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6677
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
6678
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6680
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
6683
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
6686
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
6687
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6689
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
6691
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
6692
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
6694
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
6695
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
6697
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
6698
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
6699
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
6700
space). (Robert Collins)
6702
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
6703
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
6706
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
6707
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6709
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
6710
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6712
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6713
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6714
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6715
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6717
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6718
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6719
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6722
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6725
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6726
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6727
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6729
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6730
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6731
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6732
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6733
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6738
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6739
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6741
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6742
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6743
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6744
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6745
affected. (Robert Collins)
6747
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6748
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6749
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6752
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6753
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6758
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6759
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6761
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6762
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6764
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6765
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6767
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6770
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6771
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6776
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6777
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6778
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6779
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6781
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6782
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6784
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6785
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6786
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6787
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6789
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6790
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6791
present. (Robert Collins)
6793
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6794
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6795
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6796
API. (Robert Collins)
6798
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6799
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6802
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6803
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6805
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6806
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6807
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6808
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6809
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6810
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6812
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6813
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6814
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6816
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6817
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6818
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6819
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6822
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6825
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6826
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6827
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6828
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6829
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6830
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6831
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6833
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6834
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6835
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6836
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6838
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6839
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6840
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6841
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6842
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6843
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6845
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6846
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6847
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6849
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6850
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6856
:Released: 2007-08-28
6861
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6862
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6863
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6864
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6865
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6866

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6874
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6875
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6876
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6882
:Released: 2007-08-14
6887
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6888
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6889
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6890
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
6891
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
6893
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
6894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6896
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6900
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6901
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6904
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6905
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6908
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6911
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6912
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6914
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6915
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6917
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6918
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6920
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6921
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6923
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6924
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6926
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6932
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6933
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6935
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6936
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6938
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6939
the repository (Robert Collins)
6941
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6942
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6943
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6944
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6945
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6947
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6948
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6950
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6951
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6952
(John Arbash Meinel)
6954
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6955
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6956
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6958
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6959
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6960
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6961
(John Arbash Meinel)
6963
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6964
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6967
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6968
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6970
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6973
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6975
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6977
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6978
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6980
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6981
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6984
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6985
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6986
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6987
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6989
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6990
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6991
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6993
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6994
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6995
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6997
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6998
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
7000
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
7001
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
7002
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
7003
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
7004
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
7005
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
7008
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
7009
(Alexander Belchenko)
7011
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
7012
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
7014
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
7015
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
7017
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
7019
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
7020
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
7025
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
7026
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
7027
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
7028
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
7030
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
7032
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
7035
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
7036
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
7037
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
7038
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
7039
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
7040
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
7045
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
7046
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
7047
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
7048
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
7050
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
7051
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
7052
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
7053
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
7054
tests have been refactored too.
7057
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
7058
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
7059
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
7063
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
7064
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
7065
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7067
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
7068
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
7069
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
7070
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
7071
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
7072
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
7073
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
7075
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
7076
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
7077
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
7078
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
7079
(John Arbash Meinel)
7081
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
7082
functionality for testing.
7084
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
7086
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
7087
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7089
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
7091
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
7094
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
7095
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
7097
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
7098
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
7099
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
7101
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
7104
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
7105
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
7107
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
7108
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
7109
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
7110
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
7112
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
7113
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
7115
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
7116
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
7117
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
7119
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
7122
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
7123
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
7124
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
7125
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
7126
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
7127
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
7129
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
7130
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
7131
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
7132
many files. (Robert Collins)
7134
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
7135
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
7136
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
7137
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
7142
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
7143
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
7144
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
7146
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
7147
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
7149
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
7150
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
7151
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7157
:Released: 2007-07-17
7162
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
7168
:Released: 2007-07-10
7173
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
7174
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
7176
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
7177
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
7178
(James Westby, #122656)
7180
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
7181
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
7183
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
7184
authentication header.
7185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
7187
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
7189
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
7190
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
7192
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
7194
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
7195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
7197
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
7198
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
7199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
7201
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
7202
individually and as part of revision ranges.
7203
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
7205
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
7206
(Martin Pool, #109169)
7208
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
7209
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
7211
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
7212
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
7214
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7216
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
7221
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
7222
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7223
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
7224
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
7225
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
7226
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
7228
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
7229
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
7230
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
7232
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
7235
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
7236
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
7238
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
7239
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
7241
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
7242
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
7244
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
7245
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
7246
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
7247
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
7248
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
7250
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
7251
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
7253
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
7254
can be slow it is useful feedback).
7255
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
7257
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
7258
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
7260
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
7262
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
7263
output. (Aaron Bentley)
7265
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
7266
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
7269
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
7272
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
7273
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
7275
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
7276
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
7278
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
7279
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
7281
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
7283
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
7284
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
7286
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
7292
* Testing cleanups -
7293
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7294
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
7295
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7296
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
7297
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7298
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
7299
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7300
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
7301
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7302
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
7303
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
7304
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
7305
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7306
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
7307
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7308
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
7309
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
7312
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
7314
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
7315
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7316
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7318
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7319
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7321
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7322
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7324
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7326
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7327
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7328
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7329
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7330
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7331
same location. (Robert Collins)
7336
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7338
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7340
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7342
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7345
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7348
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7349
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7350
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7352
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7354
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7355
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7356
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
7358
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
7359
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
7361
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
7362
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
7363
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
7365
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
7366
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
7367
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
7369
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
7370
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
7371
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
7373
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
7374
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
7377
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
7378
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
7380
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
7381
(Alexander Belchenko)
7386
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
7387
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
7388
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
7389
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7391
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
7392
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
7393
testing. (Robert Collins)
7395
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
7396
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
7398
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
7399
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
7400
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
7401
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
7402
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
7403
attribute during the test parameterisation in
7404
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
7406
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
7407
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
7408
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
7409
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
7411
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
7412
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
7414
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
7415
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
7440
********************
7442
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
7443
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7444
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
7445
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
7446
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
7447
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
7448
and unlock() like so::
7450
work_tree.lock_read()
7452
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
7458
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
7459
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
7461
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
7462
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
7463
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
7465
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
7466
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
7467
too. (Robert Collins)
7472
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
7473
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
7476
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
7477
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
7479
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
7480
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
7482
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
7483
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
7484
understanding what changes have occurred
7485
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
7487
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
7488
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
7489
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7491
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
7492
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
7493
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
7494
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
7496
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
7502
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
7503
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7504
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
7505
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
7506
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
7508
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
7509
based on split paths, not just string paths.
7510
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
7512
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
7513
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
7515
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
7517
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
7519
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
7520
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
7522
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
7523
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
7525
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
7526
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
7528
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
7529
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
7531
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
7532
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
7534
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
7535
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
7536
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
7541
:Released: 2007-05-07
7546
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
7547
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
7548
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
7549
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
7550
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
7552
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
7553
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
7554
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
7556
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
7557
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
7562
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
7563
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
7564
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
7566
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
7567
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
7568
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
7569
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
7574
:Released: 2007-04-30
7579
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
7580
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7581
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
7582
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
7584
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
7585
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
7586
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
7588
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
7589
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
7591
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
7592
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
7594
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
7595
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

Notes When Upgrading
7603
********************
7605
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
7606
it could be recovered again.
7607
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
7608
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
7609
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
7611
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
7613
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
7614
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
7619
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
7620
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7622
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
7623
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
7624
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
7625
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
7627
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
7628
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
7630
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
7631
tests with names that match that regular expression.
7632
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
7634
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
7635
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
7636
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
7638
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
7639
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
7640
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
7642
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
7643
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
7646
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
7649
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
7650
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
7651
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
7652
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
7654
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
7657
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
7658
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
7659
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
7662
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
7663
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
7665
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
7666
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
7668
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
7669
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
7670
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
7671
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
7674
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
7675
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
7677
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
7678
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7680
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
7681
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
7682
(Robert Collins, #107125).
7684
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
7685
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
7686
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
7688
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
7689
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
7690
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7692
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
7693
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
7694
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
7695
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
7697
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
7698
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
7699
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
7700
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
7702
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
7703
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
7704
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
7705
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
7706
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
7707
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
7708
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
7709
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
7716
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
7717
code paths. (Robert Collins)
7719
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
7720
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
7721
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
7722
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
7723
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7725
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
7726
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
7728
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7729
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7731
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7732
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7734
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7735
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7737
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7738
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7739
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7742
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7743
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7744
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7745
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7746
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7749
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7750
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7751
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7753
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7754
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7757
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7758
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7759
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7762
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7763
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7764
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7765
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7766
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7768
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7769
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7770
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7771
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7773
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7774
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7776
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7777
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7778
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7779
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7780
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7781
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7783
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7784
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7786
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7787
help. (Robert Collins)
7789
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7790
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7792
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7793
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7794
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7795
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7796
(John Arbash Meinel)
7798
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7799
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7800
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7801
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7802
useful. (Robert Collins)
7804
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7810
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7811
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7813
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7814
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7816
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7817
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7818
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7820
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7823
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7824
the file, and does it faster.
7825
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7827
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7828
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7829
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7831
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7832
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7833
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7834
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7836
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7837
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7838
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7839
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7841
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7842
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7844
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7845
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7846
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7847
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7850
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7852
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7853
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7855
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7856
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7858
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7859
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7860
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7861
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7865
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7866
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7871
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7872
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7873
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7875
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7876
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7878
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7879
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7880
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7881
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7882
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7883
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7884
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7885
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7887
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7888
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7889
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7891
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7892
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7893
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7894
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7895
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7897
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7899
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7900
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7901
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7903
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7904
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7910
:Released: 2007-04-01
7915
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7918
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7919
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7925
:Released: 2007-03-26
7930
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7931
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7937
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7938
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7939
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7940
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7941
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7942
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7943
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7944
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7950
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7951
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7952
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7954
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7955
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7958
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7959
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7960
(John Arbash Meinel)
7962
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7963
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7964
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7965
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7966
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7971
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7974
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7975
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7977
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7978
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7980
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7981
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7982
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7984
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7985
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7987
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7988
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7989
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7990
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7991
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7993
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7994
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7995
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7997
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
8009
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
8010
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
8015
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
8016
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
8018
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
8019
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
8021
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
8023
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
8024
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
8026
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
8027
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
8032
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
8038
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
8039
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
8040
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
8041
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
8043
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
8044
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
8046
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
8047
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
8049
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
8052
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
8053
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
8059
:Released: 2007-03-07
8064
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
8065
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
8066
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
8067
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
8068
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
8069
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
8071
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
8072
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
8073
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
8074
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
8075
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
8076
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
8078
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8080
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
8081
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
8082
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
8083
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
8084
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
8085
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
8086
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
8087
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8092
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
8093
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
8095
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
8096
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
8097
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
8098
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
8100
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
8101
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
8102
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
8103
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
8104
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
8106
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
8109
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
8112
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
8115
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
8116
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
8119
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
8122
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
8123
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
8125
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
8126
directory. (Martin Pool)
8128
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
8129
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
8130
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
8131
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
8133
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
8134
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
8135
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
8136
in docs/configuration.txt.
8138
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
8139
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
8142
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
8143
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
8144
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
8145
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
8146
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
8147
repositories. (Martin Pool)
8149
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
8150
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8152
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
8153
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
8155
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
8161
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
8162
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
8163
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
8164
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
8165
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
8166
(John Arbash Meinel)
8168
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
8169
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
8172
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
8173
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
8174
(John Arbash Meinel)
8176
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
8177
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
8178
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
8179
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
8180
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
8181
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
8183
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
8184
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
8185
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
8187
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
8188
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
8189
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
8190
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
8192
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8194
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
8195
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
8196
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
8197
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
8199
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
8200
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
8201
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
8202
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
8204
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
8205
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
8206
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
8208
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
8209
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
8210
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
8212
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
8213
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
8214
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
8215
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
8217
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
8218
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
8219
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
8221
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
8222
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
8223
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
8225
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
8226
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
8227
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
8228
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
8229
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
8230
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
8231
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
8232
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
8233
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
8234
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
8235
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
8240
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
8241
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
8242
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
8244
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
8247
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
8248
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
8249
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
8250
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
8252
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
8253
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
8256
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
8257
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
8259
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
8261
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
8262
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
8263
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
8265
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
8266
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
8268
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
8269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
8271
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
8272
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
8274
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
8275
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
8277
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
8279
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
8280
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
8285
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
8286
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
8292
:Released: 2007-01-23
8297
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
8302
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
8303
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
8304
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
8306
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
8307
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
8308
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
8314
:Released: 2007-01-16
8319
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
8320
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
8321
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8322
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8324
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
8327
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
8328
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
8329
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8331
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8332
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8334
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8337
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8338
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8339
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8340
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8341
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8342
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8344
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8345
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8346
should enable you to do::
8348
[/home/user/project]
8349
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8350
push_location:policy = appendpath
8352
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8353
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8356
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
8357
for each file. For example::
8359
$ bzr status --short
8365
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
8366
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
8368
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
8370
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
8371
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
8373
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
8378
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
8379
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
8380
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
8381
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
8383
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
8384
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
8385
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
8387
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
8389
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
8390
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
8391
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
8392
(Alexander Belchenko)
8394
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
8397
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
8398
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
8400
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
8405
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
8406
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
8408
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
8409
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
8410
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
8411
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
8412
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
8414
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
8415
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
8417
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
8418
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
8420
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
8422
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
8424
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
8425
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
8426
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
8427
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
8428
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
8430
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
8431
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
8432
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
8433
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
8435
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
8436
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
8438
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
8439
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
8441
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
8442
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
8444
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

8464
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
8466
(Daniel Silverstone)
8468
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
8469
operations are substantially faster.
8470
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
8472
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
8473
tree from some other url. For example:
8474
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
8475
(Daniel Silverstone)
8477
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
8478
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
8479
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
8480
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
8482
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
8485
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
8486
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
8487
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
8488
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
8489
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
8490
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
8495
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
8496
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
8499
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8500
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
8501
(John Arbash Meinel)
8503
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
8504
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
8505
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
8506
(John Arbash Meinel)
8508
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
8509
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
8511
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
8512
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8514
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
8515
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
8521
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
8522
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
8523
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
8525
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
8526
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
8527
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
8528
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
8530
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
8532
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
8533
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
8535
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
8536
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
8537
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
8538
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
8540
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
8541
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
8542
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
8544
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
8545
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
8546
them as full references rather than integers.
8547
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
8549
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
8550
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
8552
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
8554
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
8555
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
8557
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
8558
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
8560
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
8561
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
8562
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
8563
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
8565
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
8566
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
8567
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
8569
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
8570
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
8572
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
8573
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
8574
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
8575
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
8576
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)

* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
8582
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
8587
:Released: 2006-10-30

* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8593
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.

8604
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
8605
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
8606
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
8607
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
8609
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
8610
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
8612
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
8614
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
8615
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
8616
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
8617
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8619
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
8620
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
8621
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
8622
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
8623
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
8628
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
8629
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
8634
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
8635
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
8636
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8638
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
8639
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
8640
(John Arbash Meinel)
8642
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
8643
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
8644
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
8646
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
8647
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
8650
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
8651
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
8652
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8654
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
8655
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
8656
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
8657
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
8658
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
8659
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8661
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
8662
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
8663
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
8666
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
8667
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
8672
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
8673
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
8674
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
8677
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
8678
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
8680
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
8681
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
8682
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
8684
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
8685
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
8687
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
8688
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
8689
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
8690
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
8692
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
8693
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
8695
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
8696
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
8697
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
8699
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
8700
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
8702
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8704
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
8705
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
8711
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
8712
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
8713
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
8714
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
8716
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
8717
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
8718
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8723
:Released: 2006-10-02
8725
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
8730
:Released: 2006-09-27
8735
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
8737
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
8743
:Released: 2006-09-25
8748
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
8749
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
8750
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
8751
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
8752
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
8753
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
8754
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
8756
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
8757
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
8758
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
8760
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
8762
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
8763
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
8765
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
8766
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
8767
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
8770
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
8771
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
8772
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
8773
(John Arbash Meinel)
8775
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
8776
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
8777
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
8778
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
8781
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
8782
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
8783
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
8784
(John Arbash Meinel)
8789
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
8790
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
8792
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
8794
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
8795
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
8796
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
8798
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
8799
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
8801
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
8802
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
8804
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
8805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
8807
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
8808
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
8810
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
8812
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
8813
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
8815
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
8816
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
8818
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
8819
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
8821
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
8822
(John Arbash Meinel)
8824
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
8825
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
8826
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
8828
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
8829
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8831
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8832
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8833
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8834
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8836
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8837
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8838
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8840
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8841
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8846
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8851
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8852
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8853
(John Arbash Meinel)
8855
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8856
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8857
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8858
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8860
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8863
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8864
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8865
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8867
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8868
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8870
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8871
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8872
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8874
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8875
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8876
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8877
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8878
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8879
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8880
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8881
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8882
caller to repeat their request.
8883
(John Arbash Meinel)
8885
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8886
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8888
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8889
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8891
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8892
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8893
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8894
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8895
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8896
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8897
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8899
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8900
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8901
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8902
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8903
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8904
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8905
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8906
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8909
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8910
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8911
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8913
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8914
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8916
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8917
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8919
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8920
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8925
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8926
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8928
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8929
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8930
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8932
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8933
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8934
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8939
:Released: 2006-08-29
8943
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8944
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8946
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8947
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8948
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8949
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8950
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8952
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8953
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8954
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8956
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8957
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8959
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8960
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8961
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8966
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8968
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8969
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8970
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8972
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8974
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8976
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8977
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8978
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8979
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8981
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8982
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8983
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8984
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8985
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8987
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8988
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8990
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8991
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8993
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8994
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8996
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8997
in handling of revision properties.
8998
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
9000
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
9001
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
9006
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
9007
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
9008
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
9009
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
9010
(John Arbash Meinel)
9012
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
9013
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
9014
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
9019
:Released: 2006-08-11
9024
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
9025
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
9026
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
9027
specific one '.bzrignore'.
9028
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
9029
a more conservative list than the old default.
9030
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
9031
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
9032
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
9033
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
9035
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
9036
to more locations than just branch locations.
9042
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
9043
revno:N:branch. For example,
9044
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
9045
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
9047
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
9048
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
9049
the path of a file that has been versioned.
9050
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
9051
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
9052
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
9053
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
9054
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
9057
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
9058
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
9059
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
9062
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
9063
(Alexander Belchenko)
9065
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
9067
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
9070
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
9071
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
9072
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
9073
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
9074
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
9075
(John Arbash Meinel)
9077
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
9078
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
9079
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
9080
grained analysis of performance.
9081
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9083
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
9084
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
9086
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
9087
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
9088
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
9089
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
9090
file. (Robert Collins).
9092
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
9093
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
9094
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
9096
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
9097
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
9100
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
9101
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
9103
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
9104
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
9105
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
9106
the same way you would apply another branch.
9107
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
9109
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
9110
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
9112
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
9115
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
9118
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
9119
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
9120
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
9122
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
9123
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
9124
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
9126
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
9127
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
9129
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
9130
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
9131
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
9132
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
9133
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
9135
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
9136
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
9138
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
9139
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
9140
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
9141
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
9142
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
9143
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
9144
branch is as much as 4x faster.
9145
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
9147
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
9148
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
9149
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
9154
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
9156
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
9158
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
9159
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9161
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
9162
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
9164
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
9165
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
9167
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
9169
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
9170
(John Arbash Meinel)
9172
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
9173
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
9175
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
9176
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
9179
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
9180
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
9182
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
9183
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
9185
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
9186
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
9187
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
9188
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
9190
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
9191
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
9193
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
9195
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
9196
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
9198
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
9200
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
9202
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
9203
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
9205
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
9206
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
9208
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
9209
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
9210
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
9212
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
9213
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
9214
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
9216
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
9217
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
9219
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
9220
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
9222
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
9223
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
9225
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
9226
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
9228
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
9229
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
9231
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
9232
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
9233
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
9235
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
9237
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
9238
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
9243
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
9244
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
9245
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
9247
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
9248
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
9250
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
9251
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
9252
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9254
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
9255
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9257
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
9258
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
9261
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
9262
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
9263
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9265
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
9266
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
9267
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9269
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
9270
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
9271
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
9273
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
9274
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
9275
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
9277
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
9278
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
9279
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
9281
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
9282
instead. (Robert Collins)
9284
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
9289
:Released: 2006-05-17
9294
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
9299
:Released: 2006-05-16
9304
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
9305
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
9307
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
9308
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9310
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
9311
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
9312
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
9317
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
9319
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
9320
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
9322
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
9327
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
9328
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
9329
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
9330
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
9335
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
9336
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
9337
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
9342
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
9343
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
9344
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9349
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
9350
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

9357
Notes When Upgrading
9358
********************
9360
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
9361
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
9362
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
9363
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
9364
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
9365
will keep the same format.
9367
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
9368
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
9369
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
9370
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
9371
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
9373
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
9374
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
9375
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
9376
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
9377
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
9378
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
9379
indicating the current revision of the branch.
9381
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
9382
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
9383
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
9384
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
9385
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
9387
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
9388
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
9389
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
9396
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
9397
convention. Paths now take the form::
9399
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9401
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
9403
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
9404
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
9406
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
9407
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
9408
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
9410
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
9411
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
9412
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
9413
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
9415
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
9416
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
9417
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
9419
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
9421
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
9423
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
9424
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
9427
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
9428
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
9431
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
9433
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
9434
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
9435
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
9438
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
9440
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
9442
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
9445
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
9446
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
9448
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
9449
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
9452
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
9453
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
9456
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
9458
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
9460
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
9461
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
9463
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
9464
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
9465
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
9466
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
9467
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
9468
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
9470
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
9472
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
9473
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
9476
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
9477
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
9479
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
9480
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
9482
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
9484
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
9485
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
9486
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
9487
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
9488
specification by Martin Pool.
9489
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
9491
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
9494
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
9495
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9497
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
9498
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
9499
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
9501
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
9503
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
9504
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
9510
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
9511
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9513
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
9515
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
9517
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
9520
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
9521
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
9522
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
9523
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
9528
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
9529
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
9530
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
9531
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9533
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
9534
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
9535
tried. (Martin Pool)
9537
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
9540
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
9542
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
9543
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
9544
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
9546
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
9547
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
9549
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
9550
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
9551
paths. (Robert Collins)
9553
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
9554
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
9555
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
9557
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
9558
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
9559
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
9561
* Progress bars are now nested - see
9562
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
9563
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9565
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
9568
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
9571
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
9573
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
9575
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
9576
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
9577
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
9580
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
9581
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
9583
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
9584
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
9585
check. (Robert Collins)
9587
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
9588
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
9593
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
9594
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
9596
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
9597
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
9598
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
9599
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
9601
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
9602
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
9603
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
9604
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
9605
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
9607
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
9608
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
9609
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
9611
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
9613
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
9614
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
9619
:Released: 2006-01-09
9624
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
9625
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
9627
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9628
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
9629
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
9632
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
9633
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
9635
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
9636
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
9637
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
9638
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
9639
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
9641
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
9642
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
9643
used. (Robert Collins)
9645
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
9646
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
9649
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
9650
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
9651
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
9653
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
9656
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
9657
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
9662
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
9663
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
9665
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
9667
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
9669
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
9670
tree. (Robert Collins)
9672
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9673
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
9674
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
9677
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
9680
* Tweaks to short log printing
9682
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
9685
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
9686
occurs. (Martin Pool)
9688
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
9689
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
9691
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
9692
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
9694
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
9695
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
9696
settings. (Magnus Therning)
9698
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
9699
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9701
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
9702
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
9705
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
9706
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)

* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
9709
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
9711
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
9712
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
9714
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
9717
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
9718
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
9720
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
9721
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
9723
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
9724
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
9725
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
9730
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
9732
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9734
* Error when run with -OO
9736
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
9739
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
9741
* Change status to 3 for all errors
9743
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
9744
ignored by diff and status
9746
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
9747
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
9749
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
9751
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
9753
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
9754
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
9756
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
9757
email address. (Marien Zwart)
9759
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
9762
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
9763
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9765
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9767
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9768
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9770
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9773
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9774
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9776
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9781
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9782
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9784
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9786
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9788
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9790
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9791
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9792
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9794
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9796
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9797
(John Arbash Meinel)
9799
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9801
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9802
If adding a new test script please add that to
9803
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9805
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9806
imported. (Martin Pool)
9808
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9809
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9810
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9811
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9812
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9815
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9816
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9817
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9819
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9820
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9821
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9823
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9824
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9825
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9826
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9827
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9830
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9831
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9837
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9838
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9840
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9841
function. (Robert Collins)
9843
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9844
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9845
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9847
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9848
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9851
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9852
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9853
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9854
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9855
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9856
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9857
version. (Robert Collins)
9859
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9860
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9862
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9863
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9864
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9865
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9866
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9867
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9869
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9872
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9882
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9884
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9886
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9889
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9890
query method. (Robert Collins)
9892
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9895
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9898
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9901
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9902
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9903
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9904
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9906
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9907
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9908
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9909
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9911
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9912
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9917
:Released: 2005-10-28
9922
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9925
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9929
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9930
a separator, not ':'.
9933
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9934
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9935
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9937
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9938
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9941
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9942
has been added that suppresses all output.
9944
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9947
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9948
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9950
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9951
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9953
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9954
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9956
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9957
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9958
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9959
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9961
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9963
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9964
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9966
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9967
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9969
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9970
output directory, if one was supplied.
9972
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9973
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9974
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9975
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9977
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9979
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9980
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9982
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9983
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9984
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9986
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9987
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9989
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9992
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9994
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9999
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
10000
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
10001
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
10003
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
10004
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
10005
related questions. (Robert Collins)
10007
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
10008
is given. (Martin Pool)
10010
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
10011
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
10012
file. (Robert Collins)
10014
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
10020
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
10021
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
10022
representation. (Martin Pool).
10024
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
10025
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
10026
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
10028
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10031
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
10032
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
10035
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10036
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
10037
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
10038
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
10039
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
10041
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
10042
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
10043
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
10044
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
10045
python path. (Robert Collins)
10047
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
10048
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
10049
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
10050
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
10052
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
10053
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
10055
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
10056
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
10059
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
10060
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
10061
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
10063
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
10064
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
10065
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
10067
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10068
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10070
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
10071
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
10072
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
10075
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
10076
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
10077
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
10078
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
10081
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
10084
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
10085
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
10088
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
10089
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
10090
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
10092
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
10093
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
10094
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
10096
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
10097
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
10098
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
10100
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10101
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10103
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
10104
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
10105
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
10106
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
10107
caller. (Robert Collins)
10109
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
10110
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
10113
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
10114
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
10117
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
10119
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
10120
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
10125
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
10126
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
10128
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
10129
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
10135
:Released: 2005-10-12
10140
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
10141
allow directories to be listed.
10143
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
10144
upgrading branch format.
10149
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
10155
:Released: 2005-10-11
10160
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
10161
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
10162
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
10163
high-latency connections.
10168
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
10171
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10172
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
10174
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
10175
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
10176
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
10177
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10179
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
10180
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
10182
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
10183
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
10185
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
10186
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
10187
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10189
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
10190
for files with only a change to their executable status.
10191
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
10194
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
10195
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
10197
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
10198
different partial views of history.
10200
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
10201
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
10206
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
10207
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
10208
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10210
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
10211
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
10214
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
10215
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
10217
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
10220
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
10221
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
10223
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
10224
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
10225
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
10226
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10228
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
10230
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
10231
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
10234
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
10235
Contributed by Robert Collins.
10237
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
10238
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
10239
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
10245
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
10246
for your viewing pleasure.
10248
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
10249
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
10251
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
10252
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
10253
handling of such circumstances.
10255
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
10256
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
10257
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
10259
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
10261
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
10262
we call them revisions not patches.
10264
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
10265
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
10267
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
10268
giving the revision *of that file*.
10270
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
10271
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
10272
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
10277
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
10278
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
10280
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
10281
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
10287
:Released: 2005-09-23
10292
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
10294
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
10297
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
10299
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
10301
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
10302
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10307
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
10308
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
10310
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
10311
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
10312
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
10313
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
10316
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
10317
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10322
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
10324
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
10325
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
10331
:Released: 2005-09-20
10337
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
10338
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
10339
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
10340
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
10343
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
10346
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
10347
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
10348
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
10349
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
10350
for the operating system is still tried.
10352
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
10353
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
10354
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
10360
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
10365
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
10367
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
10370
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
10377
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
10379
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
10385
:Released: 2005-09-02
10390
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
10391
help with intelligent shell completion.
10393
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
10399
* Much better merge support.
10401
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
10402
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
10409
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
10410
mention revisions that are not present.
10412
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
10414
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
10416
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
10417
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
10423
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
10425
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
10426
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
10433
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
10434
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
10442
:Released: 2005-08-18
10447
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
10448
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
10450
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10452
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
10453
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
10455
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
10458
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
10460
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
10463
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
10464
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
10466
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
10467
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
10468
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
10474
* Faster working tree operations.
10480
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
10481
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
10482
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
10483
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
10485
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
10486
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
10487
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
10488
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
10489
standard plugins directory.
10491
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
10492
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
10493
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
10494
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
10496
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
10497
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
10499
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
10502
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
10503
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
10504
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
10506
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
10507
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
10509
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
10510
line options must come before the command name because they
10511
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
10512
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
10515
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
10517
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
10518
is available with ``--short``.
10524
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
10530
:Released: 2005-06-15
10535
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
10536
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10538
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
10539
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
10540
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
10541
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
10543
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
10544
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
10545
with the ``--forward`` option.
10547
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
10548
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
10555
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
10556
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
10558
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10560
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
10561
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
10563
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
10565
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
10566
either read or write mode.
10568
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
10570
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
10571
affected that file.
10573
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
10575
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
10576
suggested by LarstiQ.
10578
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
10579
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
10581
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
10584
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
10585
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
10587
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
10588
haven't changed since the previous time.
10590
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
10591
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
10593
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
10595
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
10597
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
10598
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
10600
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
10601
options through to an external GNU diff.
10603
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
10606
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
10613
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
10614
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
10616
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
10623
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
10624
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
10627
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
10628
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
10630
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
10631
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
10633
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
10634
under a different version.
10636
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
10642
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
10644
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
10645
Scott James Remnant.
10647
* Better help messages for many commands.
10649
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
10650
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
10652
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
10653
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
10655
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
10657
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
10659
* New AtomicFile class.
10661
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
10667
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
10668
2.4 is now only recommended.
10674
:Released: 2005-04-22
10679
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
10680
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
10682
* More default ignore patterns.
10684
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
10685
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
10687
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
10689
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
10692
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
10698
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
10699
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
10700
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
10701
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
10702
there are DNS problems.
10704
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
10710
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
10712
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
10714
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
10715
trailing newlines properly.
10721
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
10724
* More tests in test.sh.
10726
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
10727
directory and delete it when done.
10729
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
10735
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
10738
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
10745
:Released: 2005-04-06
10750
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
10753
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
10755
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
10758
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
10761
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
10763
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
10768
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
10769
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
10775
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
10776
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
10782
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
10787
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6369
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
