* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6
revno:N:branch. For example,
7
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10
* No default ignore rules are applied by bzr - only the rules in .bzrignore
11
are considered. This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no
12
matter what. The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
13
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
15
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
16
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
17
the path of a file that has been versioned.
18
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
19
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
20
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
21
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
22
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
25
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
26
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
27
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
30
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
33
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
35
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
38
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
39
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
40
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
42
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
43
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
44
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
45
grained analysis of performance.
46
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
48
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
49
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
51
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
52
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
53
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
54
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
55
file. (Robert Collins).
57
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
58
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
59
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
61
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
62
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
65
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
66
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
68
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
69
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
70
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
71
the same way you would apply another branch.
72
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
74
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
75
to more locations than just branch locations.
78
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
79
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
81
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
84
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
87
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
88
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
89
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
91
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
92
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
93
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
95
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
96
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
98
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
99
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
100
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
101
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
102
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
106
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
107
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
110
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
111
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
113
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
114
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
116
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
117
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
119
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
121
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
124
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
125
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
127
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
128
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
131
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
132
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
134
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
135
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
137
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
138
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
139
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
140
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
142
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
143
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
145
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
147
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
148
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
150
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
152
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
154
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
155
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
157
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
158
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
162
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
163
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
164
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
166
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
167
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
168
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
170
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
171
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
173
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
174
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
177
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
178
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
179
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
181
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
182
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
183
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
185
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
186
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
187
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
189
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
190
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
191
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
193
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
194
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
195
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
201
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
207
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
208
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
210
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
211
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
213
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
214
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
215
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
219
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
221
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
222
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
224
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
228
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
229
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
230
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
231
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
235
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
236
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
237
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
241
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
242
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
243
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
247
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
248
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
252
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
254
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
255
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
256
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
257
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
258
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
259
will keep the same format.
261
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
262
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
263
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
264
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
265
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
267
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
268
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
269
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
270
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
271
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
272
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
273
indicating the current revision of the branch.
275
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
276
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
277
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
278
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
279
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
281
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
282
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
283
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
289
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
290
convention. Paths now take the form:
6
bzr 2.0rc2 (not released yet)
7
#############################
12
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
13
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
14
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
19
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
20
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
21
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
22
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
23
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
24
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
25
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
27
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
28
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
29
(Robert Collins, #416732)
31
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
32
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
34
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
35
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
36
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
38
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
39
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
41
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
42
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
43
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
44
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
45
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
46
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
47
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
49
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
50
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
51
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
52
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
53
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
54
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
56
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
57
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
58
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
60
* Fix a segmentation fault when computing the ``merge_sort`` of a graph
61
that has a ghost in the mainline ancestry.
62
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
64
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
65
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
66
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
68
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
69
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
70
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
72
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
73
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
75
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
76
repository, such as revisions without inventories or inventories without
77
chk_bytes root records.
78
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506)
83
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
84
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
86
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
87
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
88
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
90
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
91
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
92
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
94
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
95
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
101
:Codename: no worries
104
This release of Bazaar makes 2a 'brisbane-core' format the
105
default. Most of the work in this release now focuses on bug
106
fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and previous formats.
108
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported
109
release, with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at
110
least six months or until the following stable release (we said
111
that previously, but that's worth repeating).
116
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
117
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
118
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
119
into ``rich-root`` repositories from ``2a``. The Upgrade guide
120
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
122
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
123
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
124
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
125
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
130
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
131
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
136
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
137
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
138
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
139
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
140
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
142
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
143
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
146
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
149
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
150
(Martin Pool, #286871)
152
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
153
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
154
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
156
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
157
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
158
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
159
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
164
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
165
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
166
(Martin Pool, #409137)
168
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
169
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
170
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
171
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
173
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
175
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
176
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
178
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
179
(Robert Collins, #305006)
181
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the the iter_changes
182
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
183
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
185
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
186
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
187
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
188
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
189
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
190
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
195
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
201
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
202
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
203
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
211
bzr 1.18.1 NOT RELEASED YET
212
###########################
217
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
218
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
219
(Martin Pool, #415508)
224
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
225
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
226
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
235
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
236
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
237
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
238
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
239
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
247
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
248
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
249
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
250
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
251
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
253
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
256
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
257
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
259
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
260
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
262
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
263
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
264
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
265
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
267
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
268
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
269
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
271
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
272
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
274
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
275
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
276
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
277
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
282
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
283
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
284
(Martin Pool, #409137)
286
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
287
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
288
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
289
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
290
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
292
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
293
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
294
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
306
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
307
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
308
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
309
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
310
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
311
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
313
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
314
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
315
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
316
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
318
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
319
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
320
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
321
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
324
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
325
protocols. (Robert Collins)
327
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
328
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
329
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
330
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
336
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
337
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

347
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
348
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
349
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
350
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
351
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
352
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
354
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
355
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
356
or until the following stable release.
358
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
363
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
364
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
366
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
367
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
368
(Martin Pool, #391411)
373
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
374
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
375
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
377
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
378
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
379
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
380
(Martin Pool, #123688)
382
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
383
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
384
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
385
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
387
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
388
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
390
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
391
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
392
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
393
(Robert Collins, #282402)
395
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
396
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
398
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
399
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
401
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
402
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
403
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
404
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
405
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
407
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
408
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
409
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
411
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
412
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
413
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
414
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
415
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
417
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
418
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
420
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
421
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
422
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
424
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
425
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
426
(Martin Pool, #408201)
428
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
429
(Martin Pool, #403523)
431
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
432
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
433
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
435
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
436
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
438
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
439
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
441
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
442
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
444
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
445
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
446
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
448
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
449
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
450
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
452
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
454
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
455
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
457
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
458
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
459
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
460
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
461
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
462
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
464
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
465
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
466
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
468
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
469
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
470
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
471
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
473
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
474
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
475
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
476
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
477
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
479
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
480
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
481
(Robert Collins, #187207)
486
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
489
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
490
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
491
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
492
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
494
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
495
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
501
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
506
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
507
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
508
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
509
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
510
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
511
passwords. (Martin Pool)
513
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
516
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
519
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
523
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
524
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
529
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
530
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
531
paths. (Robert Collins)
533
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
534
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
536
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
537
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
538
disk. (Robert Collins)
540
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
543
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
544
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
545
(Alexander Belchenko)
551
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
552
(Martin Pool, #409684)
554
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
555
(Martin Pool, #408199)
557
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
558
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
559
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
560
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
561
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
562
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

572
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
573
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
576
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
577
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
578
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
579
annoying progress bar artifacts.
582
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
583
*********************************
585
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
586
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
587
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
589
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
590
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
591
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
593
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
594
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
600
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
601
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
602
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
603
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
609
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
610
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
611
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
612
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
614
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
615
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
616
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
618
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
619
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
620
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
624
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
625
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
626
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
627
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
633
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
634
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
636
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
637
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
638
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
639
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
641
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
642
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
644
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
645
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
646
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
648
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
649
(Martin Pool, #321935)
651
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
652
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
654
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
655
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
657
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
658
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
659
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
661
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
664
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
665
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
667
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
668
of a remote repository.
669
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
671
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
672
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
675
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
677
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
679
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
680
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
682
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
683
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
685
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
686
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
687
(Martin Pool, #339385)
689
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
690
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
691
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
692
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
695
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
696
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
697
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
699
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
700
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
701
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
702
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
703
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
704
(Robert Collins, #376243)
706
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
707
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
708
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
709
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
710
activity display respectively.
711
(Martin Pool, #340347)
713
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
714
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
716
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
719
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
720
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
726
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
727
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
728
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
729
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
731
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
732
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
733
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
734
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
737
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
738
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
740
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
741
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
742
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
743
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
744
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
745
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
747
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
748
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
749
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
750
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
752
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
753
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
754
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
758
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
759
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
760
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
761
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
767
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
768
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
769
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
770
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
772
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
773
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
774
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
776
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
779
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
780
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
782
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
783
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
784
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
786
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
787
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
788
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
789
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
791
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
797
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
798
formatting in the user reference.
799
(Martin Pool, #249908)
801
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
807
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
810
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
811
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
812
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
818
:Released: 2009-06-26
820
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
821
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
822
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
825
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
826
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
827
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
829
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
830
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
835
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
836
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
838
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
839
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
840
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
842
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
843
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
844
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
845
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
846
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
847
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
848
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
850
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
851
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
852
converted data. (Robert Collins)
854
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
855
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
856
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
858
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
859
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
860
that. (Robert Collins)
862
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
863
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
864
repository. (Robert Collins)
866
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
867
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
868
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
869
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
880
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
881
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
882
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
884
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
885
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
886
bug fixes and improvements.

* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
905
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
906
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
912
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
913
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
914
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
915
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
916
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
917
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
920
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
921
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
922
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
923
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
925
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
926
and more concisely repacks the full history.
928
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
929
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
931
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
932
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
933
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
935
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
936
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
942
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
943
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
944
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
946
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
947
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
948
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
949
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
950
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
952
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
953
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
954
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
955
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
957
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
958
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
964
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
965
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
966
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
967
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
973
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
974
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
976
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
977
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
979
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
980
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
981
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
983
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
984
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
986
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
987
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
988
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
990
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
991
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
992
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
995
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
996
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
998
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
999
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1001
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1002
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1004
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1005
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1006
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1007
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1008
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1009
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1011
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1013
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1014
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1016
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1017
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1019
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1020
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1021
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1022
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1023
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1025
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1026
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1027
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1028
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1033
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1034
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1035
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1040
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1042
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1043
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
1044
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1046
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
1047
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
1048
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
1050
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
1051
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1053
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
1054
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
1059
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
1060
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1065
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
1067
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1069
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)

The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
1079

Compatibility Breaks
1103
********************
1105
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
1106
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
1107
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
1108
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
1113
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1114
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1117
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
1118
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
1119
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1120
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1122
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1123
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1124
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1125
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1127
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1128
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1131
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1132
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1133
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1138
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1139
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1141
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1142
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1144
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1145
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1146
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1148
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1153
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1154
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1156
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1158
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1159
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1161
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1162
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1164
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1165
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1167
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1168
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1169
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1170
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1172
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1173
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1175
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1176
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1178
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1179
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1181
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.

(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1184
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.

(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1187
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1190
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1191
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1193
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1194
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1195
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1196
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1197
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1198
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1199
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1200
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1201
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1202
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1203
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1204
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1205
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1206
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1208
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1209
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1210
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1212
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1213
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1221
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1222
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1223
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1225
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1226
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1227
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1228
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1229
(Alexander Belchenko)
1234
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1235
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1236
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1238
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1239
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1242
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1243
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1244
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1245
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1246
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1248
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1249
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1250
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1252
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1253
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1254
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1255
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1257
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1258
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1259
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1261
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1262
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1264
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1265
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1266
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1267
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1269
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1270
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1271
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1273
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1274
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1276
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1277
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1278
branches. (Robert Collins)
1280
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1281
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1283
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1288
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1289
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
1340
********************
1342
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
1343
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
1344
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
1345
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
1346
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1348
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1349
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1350
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1352
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1353
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1354
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1355
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1356
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1361
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1362
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1363
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1364
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1365
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1368
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1371
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1372
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1374
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1375
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1376
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1377
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1378
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1380
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1381
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1383
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1386
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1387
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1388
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1389
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1392
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1393
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1394
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1395
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1396
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1398
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1399
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1402
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1408
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1409
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1410
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1412
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1413
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1414
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1415
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1416
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1418
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1419
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1422
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1423
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1424
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1426
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1429
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1432
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1433
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1435
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1436
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1438
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1439
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1441
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1442
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1445
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1446
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1447
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1449
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1450
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1451
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1454
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1455
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1456
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1457
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1459
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1460
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1461
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1462
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1463
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1464
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1465
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1466
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1467
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1469
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1475
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1476
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1477
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1478
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1479
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1480
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1481
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1483
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1484
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1486
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1487
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1488
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1489
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1491
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1492
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1494
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1496
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1499
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1500
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1501
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1503
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1504
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1506
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1507
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1509
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1510
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1511
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1513
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1514
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1515
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1516
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1518
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1520
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1521
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1523
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1524
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1525
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1526
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1527
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1529
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1530
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1531
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1532
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1533
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1534
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1535
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1537
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1538
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1540
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1541
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1544
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1545
(James Westby, #341558)
1547
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1548
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1550
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1551
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1556
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1558
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1560
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1561
(James Westby, #336998)
1566
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1569
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1570
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1573
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1574
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1577
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1578
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1579
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1581
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1582
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1583
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1585
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1586
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1587
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1588
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1591
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1592
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1595
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1598
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1599
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1601
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1602
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1603
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1604
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1606
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1607
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1608
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1613
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1614
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1615
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1616
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1617
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1619
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1620
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1622
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1623
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1624
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1625
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1631
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1632
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1634
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1635
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1637
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1638
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1639
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1641
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1642
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1643
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1644
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1646
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1647
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1648
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1649
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1651
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1652
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1653
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1655
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1656
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1657
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1659
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1660
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1661
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1663
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1664
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1667
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1668
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1669
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1671
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1672
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1674
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1675
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1676
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1678
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1679
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1682
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1683
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1684
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1686
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1687
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1688
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1689
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1690
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1692
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1693
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1694
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1695
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1697
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1698
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1699
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1700
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1702
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1703
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1704
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1706
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1707
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1710
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1711
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1712
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1714
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1715
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1716
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1717
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1718
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1720
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1721
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1722
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1725
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1726
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1727
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1728
desired. (Robert Collins)
1730
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1731
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1732
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1733
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1735
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1736
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1737
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
1753
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1754
*****************************
1756
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1757
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1758
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1759
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1760
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1761
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1767
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1768
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1769
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1771
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1772
********************************
1774
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1775
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1776
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1781
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1782
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1784
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1785
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1787
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1788
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1790
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1792
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1793
*********************************
1795
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1796
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1797
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1799
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1800
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1802
Compatibility Breaks
1803
********************
1805
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1806
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1807
command may need to be adjusted.
1808
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1813
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1814
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1815
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1817
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1820
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1821
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1822
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1825
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1826
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1828
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1829
(John Arbash Meinel)
1831
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1832
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1834
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1836
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1837
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1840
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1846
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1847
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1848
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1849
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1850
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1851
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1852
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1853
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1856
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1857
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1859
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1860
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1861
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1863
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1864
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1866
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1867
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1868
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1871
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1872
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1873
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1875
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1876
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1877
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1878
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1880
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1883
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1884
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1886
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1887
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1889
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1890
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1891
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1893
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1898
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1899
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1901
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1902
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1903
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1905
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1906
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1907
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1909
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1910
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1912
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1913
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1916
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1917
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1918
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1920
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1921
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1923
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1924
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1926
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1927
(James Westby, #174539)
1929
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1930
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1932
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1933
error branching from old repositories.
1934
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1936
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1937
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1939
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1940
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1941
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1942
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1944
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1945
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1948
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1949
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1951
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1952
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1954
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1955
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1956
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1958
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1959
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1961
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1962
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1967
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1968
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1969
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1972
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1973
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1975
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1976
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1981
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1982
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1983
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1984
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1985
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1987
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1988
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1990
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1991
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1992
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1993
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1994
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1995
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1997
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1998
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2000
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2001
"author" argument being deprecated.
2003
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2005
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2006
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2007
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2008
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2010
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2011
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2012
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2014
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2015
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2016
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2018
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2019
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2021
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2022
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2023
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2024
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2029
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2030
free of virtual file system methods.
2031
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2033
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2034
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2035
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2037
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2038
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2039
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2040
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
2041
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
2042
(Robert Collins, #334187)
2044
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
2046
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
2047
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
2049
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
2050
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
2051
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
2052
stream the operation.
2053
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2055
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
2056
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
2058
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
2059
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
2060
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
2061
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
2062
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2064
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
2065
branch object. (Robert Collins)
2067
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
2068
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
2069
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
2071
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
2072
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
2075
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
2078
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
2079
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
2080
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2082
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
2083
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
2084
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2086
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
2087
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
2088
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2090
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
2091
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
2092
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2094
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
2095
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
2096
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
2097
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
2098
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
2100
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
2101
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
2102
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
2103
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
2104
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
2105
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
2107
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
2108
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
2109
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
2110
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
2111
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2113
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
2114
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2116
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
2117
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
2119
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2120
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2121
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2122
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2123
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2125
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2126
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:Codename: 1234567890
2135
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
2137
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2138
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2139
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2140
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2141
by showing the rate of network IO.
2143
Changes from RC1 to Final
2144
*************************
2146
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2147
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2149
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2150
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2152
Compatibility Breaks
2153
********************
2155
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2156
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2157
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2158
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2160
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2161
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2162
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2165
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2166
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2167
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2168
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2170
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2171
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2172
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2175
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2180
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2181
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2182
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2185
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2186
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2187
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2189
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2190
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2191
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2192
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2193
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2194
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2195
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2196
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2197
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2203
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2206
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2209
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2210
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2211
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2213
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2214
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2215
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2216
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2217
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2219
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2220
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2222
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2223
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2224
level for better precision.
2227
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2228
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2230
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2231
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2232
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2234
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2235
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2236
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2239
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2240
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2241
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2246
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2248
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2250
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2251
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2252
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2254
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2255
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2256
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2257
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2258
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2259
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2261
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2262
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2264
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2265
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2267
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2268
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2269
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2271
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2272
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2273
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2276
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2277
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2279
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2280
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2281
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2282
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2284
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2285
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2287
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2289
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2294
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2299
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2300
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2303
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2304
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2306
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2307
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2309
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2310
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2312
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2313
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2314
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2315
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2317
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2318
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2319
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2324
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2325
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2326
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2327
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2328
compile buffers, are such an example).
2331
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2332
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2335
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2336
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2337
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2340
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2341
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2343
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2344
formatters to retrict the output.
2351
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
2352
:Released: 2009-01-19
2354
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2355
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2356
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2357
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2358
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2360
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2361
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2364
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2365
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2370
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2373
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
2374
(John Arbash Meinel)
2381
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
2382
:Released: 2009-01-09
2387
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2388
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2393
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2394
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2396
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2397
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2398
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2399
implement other plugins.
2402
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2408
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2409
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2411
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2412
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2414
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2415
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2416
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2417
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2420
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2421
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2422
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2423
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2424
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2426
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2427
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2428
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2429
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2430
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2435
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2436
control directory. (#139691)
2438
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2439
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2441
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2442
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2444
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2445
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2446
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2448
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2449
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2451
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2452
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2453
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2455
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2456
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2458
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2461
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2462
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2463
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2465
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2466
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2468
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2469
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2470
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2472
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2473
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2474
in the appropriate sections.
2475
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2477
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2478
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2479
(John Arbash meinel)
2481
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2484
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2487
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2488
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2490
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2491
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2492
work better with how it splits its requests.
2493
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2495
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2496
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2497
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2499
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2502
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2504
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2507
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2513
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2514
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2515
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2521
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2522
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2523
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2524
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2526
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2527
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2529
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2530
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2531
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2532
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2534
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2535
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2536
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2537
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2542
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2543
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2544
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2546
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2547
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2548
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2549
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2551
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2552
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2553
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2559
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2560
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2561
(John Arbash Meinel)
2563
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2564
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2565
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2566
(John Arbash Meinel)
2568
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2569
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2570
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2571
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2573
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2574
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2575
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2577
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2578
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2579
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2580
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2582
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2583
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2584
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2585
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2586
(John Arbash Meinel)
2588
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2589
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2591
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2592
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2593
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2595
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2596
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2597
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2598
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2600
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2601
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2602
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2603
(John Arbash Meinel)
2605
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2606
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2607
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2608
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2609
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2610
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2611
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2613
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2614
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2621
:Released: 2008-12-05
2623
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2624
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2625
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2626
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2629
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2634
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2635
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2636
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2637
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2639
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2640
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2641
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2642
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2643
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
2649
:Released: 2008-11-28
2651
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2652
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2653
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2654
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2655
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2660
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2661
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2663
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2669
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2670
history just to set the last revision info.
2671
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2673
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2674
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2675
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2676
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2678
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2679
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2680
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2681
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2682
(John Arbash Meinel)
2684
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2685
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2687
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2688
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2689
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2690
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2691
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2693
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2694
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2695
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2696
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2701
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2702
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2704
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2705
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2707
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2708
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2709
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2710
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2712
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2713
starting with a dotted revno.
2714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2716
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2717
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2718
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2720
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2721
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2722
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2724
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2725
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2726
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2728
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2729
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2730
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2731
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2733
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2734
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2735
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2737
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2738
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2743
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2744
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2745
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2746
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2748
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2749
have changed incompatibly.
2751
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2752
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2753
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2754
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2755
don't need to change.
2757
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2758
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2763
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2764
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2766
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2772
:Released: 2008-11-07
2774
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2775
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2776
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2777
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2778
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2779
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2784
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2785
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2787
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2789
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2790
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
2791
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
2797
:Released: 2008-10-31
2802
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2803
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2805
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2806
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2807
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2808
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2813
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2814
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2815
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2816
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2817
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2818
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2820
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2821
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2823
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2824
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2825
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2827
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2828
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2829
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2832
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2833
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2835
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2836
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2838
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2839
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2841
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2842
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2843
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2844
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2845
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2846
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2847
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2848
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2849
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2850
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2855
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2856
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2858
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2859
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2861
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2862
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2863
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2865
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2866
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2867
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2869
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2870
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2871
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2873
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2874
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2875
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2876
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2877
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2878
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2880
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2881
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2883
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2884
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2886
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2887
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2888
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2889
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2890
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2892
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2893
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2894
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2895
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2900
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2905
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2910
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2911
configuration of authetication credentials.
2917
:Released: 2008-10-16
2919
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2920
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2921
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2922
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2923
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2928
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2929
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2934
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2935
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
2941
:Released: 2008-10-07
2946
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2947
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2948
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2949
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2950
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2952
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2953
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2955
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2956
server. (Marius Kruger)
2958
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2959
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2960
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2961
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2962
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2963
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2968
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2969
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2970
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2977
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2978
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2979
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2980
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2982
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2983
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2986
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2987
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2990
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2993
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2995
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2996
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2998
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2999
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3001
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3002
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3003
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3004
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3005
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3006
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3007
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3008
operations. (Robert Collins)
3010
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3012
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3013
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3014
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3019
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3020
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3021
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3023
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3024
repository now preserves the repository format.
3025
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3027
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3030
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3031
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3033
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3037
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3040
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
3041
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
3042
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
3044
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
3045
is in a different repository than the current one.
3046
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
3048
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
3049
(David Futcher, #242106)
3051
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
3052
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3054
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
3055
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
3056
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
3057
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
3059
* Trivial documentation fix.
3060
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
3062
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3063
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3064
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3065
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3070
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
3075
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
3076
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
3077
to use. (Robert Collins)
3079
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
3080
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
3081
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
3083
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
3084
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
3085
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
3086
they want. (Robert Collins)
3091
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
3092
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
3093
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
3095
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
3096
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
3099
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
3102
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
3103
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
3105
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
3111
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
3112
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
3114
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
3115
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
3116
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
3118
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
3119
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
3120
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
3122
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
3123
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3125
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
3126
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
3128
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
3129
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
3131
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
3132
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
3133
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
3134
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
3142
:Released: 2008-10-01
3144
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
3150
:Released: 2008-09-24
3152
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3153
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3158
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3159
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3160
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3161
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3171
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3172
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3173
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3174
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3175
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
3180
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
3181
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
3182
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
3188
:Released: 2008-09-17
3190
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
3191
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
3192
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
3193
connect to the stacked-on location.
3198
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3199
repository now preserves the repository format.
3200
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3202
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
3203
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
3205
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
3208
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3215
:Released: 2008-09-09
3217
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3218
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3219
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3220
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3221
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
3222
it in a future repository format.
3228
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3231
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3232
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3233
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
3235
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3236
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3237
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3242
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3243
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3245
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3250
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3251
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3254
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3255
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3257
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3258
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3261
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3262
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3263
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3264
(John Arbash Meinel)
3266
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3267
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3269
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3270
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3271
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3272
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3273
(John Arbash Meinel)
3275
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3276
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3277
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3278
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3279
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3280
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3281
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3282
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3283
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3284
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3289
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3290
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3292
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3293
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3294
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3296
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3297
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3298
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3300
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3301
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3302
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3303
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3304
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3305
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3307
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3308
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3310
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3311
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3313
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3314
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3315
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3316
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3317
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3318
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3320
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3321
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3323
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3324
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3326
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3327
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3328
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3329
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3331
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3332
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3334
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3335
assuming the host name is ascii.
3336
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3338
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3339
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3344
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3349
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3351
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3352
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3353
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3356
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3357
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3359
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3360
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3362
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3363
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3368
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3369
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3370
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3371
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3373
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3377
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3378
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3379
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3381
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3387
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3388
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3391
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3392
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3393
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3394
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3395
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3397
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3398
is unknown in both source and target.
3399
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3401
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3402
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3403
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3404
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3406
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3407
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3408
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3409
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

:Released: 2008-09-05
3417
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3418
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3419
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3425
:Released: 2008-09-03
3430
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3431
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3432
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3433
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3439
:Released: 2008-08-29
3441
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3442
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3443
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3444
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3445
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3446
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3447
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3448
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3449
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3450
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3451
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3452
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3457
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3458
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3459
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3460
start of the string (causing more copies).
3461
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3462
especially for projects with large files.
3463
(John Arbash Meinel)
3465
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3466
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3467
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3468
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3469
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3471
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3472
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3473
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3474
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3475
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
3484
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3485
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3486
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3487
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3488
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3489
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3490
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3491
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3492
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3498
:Released: 2008-08-19
3503
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3504
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3505
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3506
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3507
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3513
:Released: 2008-08-18
3518
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3519
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3520
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3526
:Released: 2008-08-14
3531
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3532
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3538
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3539
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3540
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3546
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3547
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3548
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3550
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3551
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3552
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3553
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3554
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3555
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3556
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3562
:Released: 2008-08-13
3564
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3570
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3571
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3573
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3574
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3577
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3578
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3579
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3580
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3581
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3583
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3584
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3586
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3587
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3589
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3590
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3592
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3593
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3594
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3595
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3596
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3597
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3603
:Released: 2008-08-06
3605
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3606
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3607
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3608
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3609
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3614
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3615
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3616
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3621
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3622
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3624
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3625
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3627
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3628
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3629
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3631
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3634
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3635
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3636
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3637
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3638
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3639
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3640
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3642
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3643
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3644
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3649
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3650
physical repository boundaries.
3651
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3653
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3654
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3656
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3657
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3660
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3663
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3664
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3665
that Python is running from.
3666
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3668
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3669
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3670
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3672
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3673
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3675
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3676
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3677
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3679
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3680
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3682
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3683
(James Westby, #248448)
3688
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3689
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3690
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3693
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3694
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3697
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3698
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3699
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3700
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3701
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3702
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3705
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3706
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3708
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3709
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3710
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3711
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3712
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3713
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3718
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3719
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3720
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3721
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3722
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3723
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3725
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3726
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3727
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3729
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3732
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3733
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3735
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
3742
:Released: 2008-07-17
3744
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3745
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3746
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3747
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3753
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3754
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3755
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3757
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3758
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3759
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3760
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3761
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3764
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3766
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3767
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3768
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3774
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3775
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3778
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3779
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3780
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3781
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3783
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3784
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3785
(Christophe Troestler)
3787
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3788
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3790
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3791
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3792
faster. The new request method name is
3793
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3798
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3799
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3800
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3801
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3802
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3804
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3805
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3807
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3808
requires a branch to be present.
3809
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3811
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3813
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3815
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3816
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3817
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3818
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3820
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3821
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3823
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3825
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3827
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3828
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3829
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3830
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3831
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3833
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3834
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3836
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3837
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3839
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3841
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3843
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3844
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3846
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3847
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3852
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3855
* Updated developer documentation.
3861
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3862
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3864
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3865
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3866
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3867
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3872
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3873
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3874
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3875
Repository docstring for more details.
3878
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3879
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3880
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3882
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3883
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3886
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3887
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3888
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3889
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3894
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3895
(Alexander Belchenko)
3897
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3898
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3899
containing a given location.
3902
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3903
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3904
storage. (Robert Collins)
3906
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3909
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3910
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
3917
:Released: 2008-06-10
3919
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
3920
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
3921
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
3927
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
3928
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
3929
reading from the repository.)
3930
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
3932
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3933
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3935
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
3936
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
3939
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
3940
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
3941
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
3943
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
3944
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
3945
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
3947
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
3948
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
3950
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
3951
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
3952
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
3953
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
3958
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
3960
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
3961
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
3962
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
3965
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
3966
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
3971
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3976
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3977
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3982
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3983
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3984
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3985
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3986
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3988
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3989
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3994
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3995
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3997
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3998
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
4003
:Released: 2008-06-02
4005
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
4006
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
4007
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
4008
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
4009
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
4010
and future extensions.
4013
Notes When Upgrading
4014
********************
4016
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
4017
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
4018
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
4019
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
4020
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
4021
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
4022
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
4023
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
4028
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
4029
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
4030
(John Arbash Meinel)
4035
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
4036
load. (James Westby)
4041
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
4042
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
4043
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
4044
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4046
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
4047
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
4048
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
4050
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
4051
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
4053
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
4054
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
4055
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
4057
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
4058
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
4059
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
4060
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
4061
step closer to not using full revision history.
4062
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
4067
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
4068
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
4070
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4071
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4073
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
4074
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
4076
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
4077
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
4078
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
4079
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
4081
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
4082
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
4083
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
4084
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
4086
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
4087
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
4088
in use by another process.
4091
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
4092
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
4093
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
4094
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
4096
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
4097
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
4099
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
4100
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
4101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
4103
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
4104
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
4105
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
4107
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
4109
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
4111
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
4112
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
4114
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
4115
under vim on Mac OS X.
4116
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4118
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
4119
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
4124
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
4125
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
4127
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4128
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4131
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
4132
and about use of Python reprs.
4133
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
4135
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
4140
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
4143
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4144
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4146
* New helper function for splitting test suites
4147
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
4152
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
4153
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
4154
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
4155
(John Arbash Meinel)
4160
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
4161
instead. (Martin Pool)
4163
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
4164
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
4165
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
4166
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
4168
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
4169
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
4170
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
4171
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
4172
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
4174
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
4175
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
4176
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
4177
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
4178
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
4179
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
4181
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
4182
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
4185
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
4186
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
4189
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
4190
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
4191
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
4192
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
4194
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
4195
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
4196
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4198
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
4199
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
4200
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
4201
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
4202
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
4205
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
4206
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
4207
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
4208
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
4211
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4212
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4213
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4214
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4215
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4217
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
4224
:Released: 2008-05-16
4226
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
4227
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
4228
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
4233
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
4234
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
4235
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4240
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4241
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4248
:Released: 2008-05-09
4253
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
4254
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
4255
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
4256
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
4261
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
4262
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
4264
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
4265
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
4267
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
4273
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
4274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
4276
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
4277
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
4279
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
4280
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
4281
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
4283
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4284
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4285
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4287
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
4290
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
4291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
4293
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
4294
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
4296
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
4297
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
4299
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
4300
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
4302
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
4303
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
4304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
4306
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
4307
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
4309
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4310
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
4312
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4313
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4314
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4315
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
4317
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
4318
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
4321
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
4322
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
4323
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
4325
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4326
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4327
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4328
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4329
every revision each side had in common.
4330
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4332
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
4333
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4335
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
4336
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
4337
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
4338
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
4343
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
4344
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
4345
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
4346
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
4348
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
4350
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
4352
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
4353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
4358
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
4359
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
4360
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
4362
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
4363
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
4364
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
4365
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
4367
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
4368
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4370
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
4371
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
4372
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
4373
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4375
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
4376
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
4377
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
4378
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4383
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
4384
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
4385
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
4387
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
4389
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
4390
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
4392
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4393
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4395
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
4396
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
4401
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
4402
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
4403
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
4405
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
4406
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
4407
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
4410
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
4411
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4414
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

:Released: 2008-04-28
4423
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4424
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4425
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4426
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4427
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4428
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4429
and faster performance.
4434
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4435
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4436
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4437
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
4443
:Released: 2008-04-21
4448
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4449
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4450
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4452
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
4453
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4455
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4456
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
4458
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4459
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4460
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4461
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4462
every revision each side had in common.
4463
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4469
:Released: 2008-04-11
4474
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
4476
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
4477
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
4479
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
4480
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4481
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4483
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4484
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4485
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4486
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4487
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4488
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4491
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4492
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4493
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4494
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4499
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4501
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4502
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4503
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4505
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4506
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4507
See the User Reference for signature details.
4508
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4510
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4511
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4516
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4517
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4518
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4519
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4521
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4522
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4524
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4525
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4526
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4529
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4532
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4533
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4534
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4536
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4539
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4540
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4542
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4543
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4545
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4546
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4547
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4549
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4550
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4551
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4552
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4553
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4555
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4556
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4558
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4559
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4564
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4565
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4566
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4567
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4568
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4569
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4571
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4572
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4574
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4575
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4576
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4578
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4579
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4581
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4582
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4583
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4584
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4586
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4587
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4588
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4589
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4590
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4592
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4594
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4595
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4597
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4599
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4600
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4602
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4603
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4608
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4610
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4612
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4614
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4619
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4620
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4621
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4623
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4624
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4625
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4626
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4628
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4629
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4630
release. (James Westby)
4632
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4635
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4637
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4638
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4640
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4641
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4643
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4644
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4646
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4647
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4648
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4650
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4651
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4652
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4653
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4655
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4656
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4657
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4658
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4660
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4661
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4662
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4663
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4664
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4665
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4667
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4668
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4669
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4671
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4672
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4674
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4675
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4678
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4679
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4681
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4682
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4684
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4685
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4687
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4688
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4689
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4691
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4692
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4693
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4694
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4695
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4696
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4701
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4702
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4703
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4704
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4706
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4707
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4708
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4709
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4713
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4714
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4717
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4718
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4720
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4722
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4723
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4724
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4729
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4731
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4734
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4735
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4736
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4737
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4738
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4739
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4741
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4742
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4744
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4745
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4746
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4747
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4749
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4750
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4752
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4753
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4803
********************
4805
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4806
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4811
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4812
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4813
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4814
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4817
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4818
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4819
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4820
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4821
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4822
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4824
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4825
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4826
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4827
(Alexander Belchenko)
4829
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4831
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4832
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4837
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4838
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4840
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4841
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4847
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4849
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4851
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4852
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4853
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4855
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4856
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4858
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4859
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4861
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4862
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4863
(Alexander Belchenko)
4865
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4866
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4867
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4868
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4870
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4873
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4874
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4875
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4876
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4877
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4882
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4883
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4884
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4885
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4887
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4888
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4890
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4891
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4894
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.

4897
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.

(#198793, John Ferlito)
4900
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4903
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4904
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4906
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4908
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4910
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4911
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4913
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4914
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4916
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4917
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4919
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4920
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4922
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4923
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4925
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4926
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4931
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4932
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4937
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4938
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4939
(Alexander Belchenko)
4944
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4946
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4947
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4953
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4954
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4955
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4957
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
4958
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
4959
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4960
(Alexander Belchenko)
4962
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4963
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4964
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4965
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4967
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4968
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
4969
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.

have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4976
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4977
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4978
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4980
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4981
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4982
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4983
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
5003
********************
5005
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
5006
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
5007
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
5008
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
5009
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
5015
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
5016
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
5018
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
5019
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
5020
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
5022
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
5023
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
5024
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
5025
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
5026
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
5027
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
5033
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
5034
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5036
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
5037
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
5038
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
5041
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
5042
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
5043
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
5044
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
5045
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
5047
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
5048
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
5049
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
5050
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
5051
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
5052
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
5053
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
5054
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
5059
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
5060
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
5062
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
5063
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5065
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
5066
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5068
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
5069
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
5070
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
5072
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
5073
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
5074
(John Arbash Meinel)
5079
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
5080
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
5082
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
5083
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
5085
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
5086
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
5088
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
5089
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
5090
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
5092
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
5093
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
5094
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
5096
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
5097
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
5099
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
5100
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
5101
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
5102
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
5103
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
5105
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5107
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
5108
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
5111
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
5112
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
5114
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
5115
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
5117
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
5118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
5120
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
5121
more characters which should be considered valid.
5122
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
5124
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
5125
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
5127
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
5128
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
5133
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
5134
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
5136
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
5137
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
5143
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
5144
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
5150
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
5151
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
5152
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
5154
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
5155
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
5156
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
5158
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
5159
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
5160
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
5161
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
5163
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
5165
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
5166
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
5167
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
5168
server. (Robert Collins)
5170
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
5171
operate. (Robert Collins)
5173
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
5174
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
5175
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
5177
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
5178
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
5179
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
5180
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
5182
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
5183
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
5185
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
5186
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
5187
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
5189
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
5190
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
5192
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
5193
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
5195
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
5196
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
5197
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
5198
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

5211
:Released: 2008-01-05
5216
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
5217
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
5218
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
5219
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5221
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
5222
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
5223
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
5224
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
5229
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
5232
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
5235
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
5236
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
5241
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
5244
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
5245
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
5246
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
5248
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
5250
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
5251
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
5252
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
5253
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
5254
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
5256
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
5257
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
5258
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
5260
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
5261
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
5263
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
5266
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
5268
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
5270
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
5273
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
5274
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
5279
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
5280
(Martin Pool, #180208)
5282
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
5283
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
5285
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
5288
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
5289
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
5291
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
5292
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
5294
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
5295
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5297
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
5298
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
5300
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
5301
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
5302
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
5304
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
5305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
5307
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
5308
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
5311
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
5313
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
5314
user:pass embedded in the urls.
5315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
5317
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
5318
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
5320
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
5323
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
5326
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
5327
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
5329
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
5332
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
5333
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
5336
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
5337
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
5338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
5343
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
5346
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
5347
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
5348
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
5349
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
5350
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
5351
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
5353
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
5358
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
5361
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
5362
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
5364
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
5366
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
5367
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
5368
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
5371
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
5372
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5374
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
5383
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
5384
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
5385
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
5387
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
5388
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
5391
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
5392
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
5394
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
5395
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5397
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
5398
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5400
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
5401
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
5402
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5404
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
5405
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
5407
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
5408
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5410
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
5411
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
5414
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
5415
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
5417
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
5418
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

5451
by mail to the mailing list.
5457
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
5459
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
5460
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
5461
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
5462
feedback but also incur more latency.
5463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
5465
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
5466
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
5471
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5473
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
5479
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
5480
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
5481
wraps its output in a StringIO.

* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
5498
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
5501
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
5502
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
5503
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
5504
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5506
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
5509
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
5510
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
5512
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
5513
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
5514
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
5516
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
5517
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
5518
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
5519
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
5520
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
5521
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
5522
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
5523
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
5524
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

Notes When Upgrading
5568
********************
5570
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5571
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5572
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5573
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5575
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5576
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5578
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5579
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5581
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5582
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5583
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5584
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5585
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5586
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5587
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5588
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5589
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5590
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5591
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5592
from any tree without problems.
5593
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5598
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5599
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5600
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5602
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5603
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5609
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5610
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5611
supported transports.
5614
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5615
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5616
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5618
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5619
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5621
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5622
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5623
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5624
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5626
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5627
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5632
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5633
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5634
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5635
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5637
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5638
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5639
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5640
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5642
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5643
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5645
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5646
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5648
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5649
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5651
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5652
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5658
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5661
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5662
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5665
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5666
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5667
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5668
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5670
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5671
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5672
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5673
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5681
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5682
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5684
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5685
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5687
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5688
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5690
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5693
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
5694
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
5696
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
5697
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
5699
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
5700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
5702
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5705
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5708
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5709
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5710
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5712
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5713
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
5715
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5716
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5718
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5719
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5721
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5724
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5725
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5726
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5727
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5729
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5731
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5732
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5733
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5735
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
5736
(Robert Collins, #161240)
5738
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
5740
(Martin Pool, #164443)
5742
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5743
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5745
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5746
specify a port in urls.
5747
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5749
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5750
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5752
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
5753
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5755
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5756
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5758
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5759
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5761
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5762
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5763
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5765
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5767
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5768
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5770
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5773
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5774
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5776
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5777
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5779
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5780
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5781
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5783
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5784
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5786
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5787
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5788
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5789
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5791
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5792
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5794
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5795
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5796
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5798
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5799
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5801
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5804
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5810
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5811
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5813
* The return value of
5814
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5815
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5816
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5817
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5819
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5822
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5823
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5830
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5831
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5832
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5835
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5836
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5838
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
5844
:Released: 2007-11-05
5849
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
5855
:Released: 2007-10-29
5860
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5861
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5863
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5864
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5865
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5866
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5867
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5868
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5869
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5870
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5871
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5872
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5873
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5874
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5880
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5881
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5882
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5883
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5884
commands. (Robert Collins)
5886
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5887
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5888
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5891
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5893
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5894
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5896
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5897
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5900
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5901
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5902
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5907
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5908
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5910
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5911
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5913
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5914
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5915
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5916
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5918
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5921
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5922
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5923
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5924
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5926
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5927
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5929
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5930
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5932
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5933
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5935
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5936
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5941
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5942
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5944
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5945
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5947
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5948
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5950
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5951
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5953
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5954
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5959
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5961
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5967
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5968
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5969
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5971
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5972
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5974
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5975
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5977
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5978
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5979
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5980
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5982
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5983
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5984
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5985
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5986
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5988
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5989
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5991
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5993
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5995
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5996
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5998
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5999
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6001
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6004
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6005
contains a symbolic link.
6006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6008
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6009
(James Westby, #140615)
6011
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6012
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6015
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6016
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6017
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6019
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6021
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6022
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6024
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6026
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6028
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6029
directory to detect leaking tests.
6030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6032
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6033
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6034
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6036
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6039
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6040
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
6042
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
6048
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
6049
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
6051
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
6052
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
6053
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
6055
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
6056
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
6057
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
6059
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
6060
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
6062
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
6063
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
6065
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
6066
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
6069
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
6070
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
6072
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
6073
class that needs it.
6076
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
6077
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
6079
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
6080
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
6081
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
6083
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
6084
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
6085
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
6088
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
6089
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
6090
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
6091
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
6097
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
6098
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
6099
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
6101
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
6102
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
6103
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
6104
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
6106
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
6107
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
6110
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
6111
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
6112
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
6114
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
6115
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
6116
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
6118
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
6119
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
6121
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
6122
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
6123
to complete. (Robert Collins)
6125
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
6126
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
6128
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
6129
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
6130
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
6132
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
6133
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
6134
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
6136
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
6137
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
6138
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
6139
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
6141
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
6142
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
6143
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
6144
returned. (Robert Collins)
6146
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
6147
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
6149
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
6150
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
6151
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
6152
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
6155
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
6156
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
6161
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
6162
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
6164
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
6165
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
6166
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
6167
makes this behavior available to other users.
6170
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
6171
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
6177
:Released: 2007-09-26
6182
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6183
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6184
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6186
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6188
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
6189
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
6190
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
6191
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
6193
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
6194
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
6201
:Released: 2007-09-11
6203
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
6204
in bzrlib/remote.py.
6210
:Released: 2007-09-11
6215
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6216
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
6217
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
6218
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
6221
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
6222
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
6223
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
6229
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6230
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
6231
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
6234
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
6235
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
6236
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
6238
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
6239
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
6240
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
6242
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
6243
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
6245
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
6246
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
6247
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
6248
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
6249
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
6250
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
6251
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
6252
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
6253
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
6254
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6256
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6257
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6259
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6260
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6261
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6266
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6267
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6269
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6270
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6271
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6273
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6274
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6276
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
6277
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
6279
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
6282
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
6283
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
6285
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
6286
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
6288
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
6289
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6291
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
6292
(Blake Winton, #129299)
6294
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
6296
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
6299
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
6300
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
6301
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
6302
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
6304
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6306
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
6307
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
6310
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
6311
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
6313
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
6314
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
6317
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
6318
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
6320
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
6321
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
6323
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
6324
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
6325
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6326
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6327
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6328
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
6329
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6331
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6332
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
6334
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
6335
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
6337
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
6338
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
6340
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
6341
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
6343
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
6345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
6347
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
6348
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
6350
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
6351
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
6352
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
6354
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6355
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6356
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6361
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
6362
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6364
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
6367
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
6370
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
6371
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6373
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
6375
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
6376
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
6378
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
6379
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
6381
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
6382
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
6383
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
6384
space). (Robert Collins)
6386
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
6387
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
6390
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
6391
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6393
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
6394
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6396
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6397
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6398
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6399
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6401
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6402
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6403
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6406
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6409
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6410
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6411
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6413
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6414
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6415
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6416
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6417
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6422
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6423
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6425
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6426
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6427
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6428
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6429
affected. (Robert Collins)
6431
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6432
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6433
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6436
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6437
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6442
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6443
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6445
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6446
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6448
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6449
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6451
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6454
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6455
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6460
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6461
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6462
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6463
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6465
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6466
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6468
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6469
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6470
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6471
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6473
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6474
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6475
present. (Robert Collins)
6477
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6478
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6479
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6480
API. (Robert Collins)
6482
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6483
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6486
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6487
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6489
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6490
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6491
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6492
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6493
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6494
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6496
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6497
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6498
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6500
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6501
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6502
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6503
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6506
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6509
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6510
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6511
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6512
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6513
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6514
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6515
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6517
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6518
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6519
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6520
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6522
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6523
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6524
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6525
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6526
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6527
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6529
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6530
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6531
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6533
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6534
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6540
:Released: 2007-08-28
6545
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6546
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6547
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6548
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6549
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6550
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6551
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6552
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6558
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6559
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6560
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6566
:Released: 2007-08-14
6571
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6572
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6573
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6574
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
6575
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
6577
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
6578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6580
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6584
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6585
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6588
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6589
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6592
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6595
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6596
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6598
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6599
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6601
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6602
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6604
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6605
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6607
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6608
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6610
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6616
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6617
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6619
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6620
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6622
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6623
the repository (Robert Collins)
6625
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6626
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6627
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6628
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6629
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6631
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6632
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6634
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6635
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6636
(John Arbash Meinel)
6638
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6639
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6640
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6642
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6643
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6644
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6645
(John Arbash Meinel)
6647
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6648
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6651
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6652
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6654
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6657
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6659
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6661
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6662
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6664
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6665
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6668
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6669
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6670
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6671
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6673
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6674
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6675
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6677
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6678
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6679
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6681
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6682
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6684
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6685
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6686
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6687
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6688
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6689
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6692
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6693
(Alexander Belchenko)
6695
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6696
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6698
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6699
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6701
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6703
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6704
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6709
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6710
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6711
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6712
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6714
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6716
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6719
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6720
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6721
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6722
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6723
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6724
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6729
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6730
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6731
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6732
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6734
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6735
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6736
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6737
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6738
tests have been refactored too.
6741
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6742
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6743
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6747
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6748
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6749
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6751
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6752
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6753
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6754
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6755
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6756
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6757
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6759
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6760
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6761
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6762
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6763
(John Arbash Meinel)
6765
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6766
functionality for testing.
6768
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6770
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6771
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6773
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6775
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6778
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6779
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6781
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6782
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6783
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6785
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6788
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6789
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6791
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6792
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6793
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6794
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6796
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6797
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6799
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6800
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6801
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6803
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6806
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6807
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6808
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6809
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6810
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6811
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6813
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6814
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6815
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6816
many files. (Robert Collins)
6818
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6819
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6820
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6821
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6826
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6827
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6828
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6830
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6831
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6833
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6834
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6835
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

6857
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
6858
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
6860
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
6861
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
6862
(James Westby, #122656)
6864
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
6865
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
6867
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
6868
authentication header.

6874
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
6876
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
6882
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
6883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
6885
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
6886
individually and as part of revision ranges.
6887
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
6889
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
6890
(Martin Pool, #109169)
6892
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
6893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
6895
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
6896
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
6898
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6900
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
6905
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
6906
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
6907
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
6908
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
6909
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
6910
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
6912
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
6913
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
6914
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
6916
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
6919
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
6920
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
6922
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
6923
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
6925
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
6926
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
6928
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
6929
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
6930
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
6931
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
6932
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
6934
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6935
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
6937
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
6938
can be slow it is useful feedback).
6939
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
6941
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
6942
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
6944
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
6946
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
6947
output. (Aaron Bentley)
6949
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
6950
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
6953
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
6956
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
6957
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
6959
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
6960
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
6962
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
6963
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
6965
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
6967
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
6968
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
6970
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
6976
* Testing cleanups -
6977
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
6978
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
6979
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
6980
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
6981
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6982
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
6983
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6984
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
6985
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6986
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
6987
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
6988
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
6989
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6990
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
6991
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6992
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
6993
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
6996
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
6998
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
6999
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7000
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7002
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7003
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7005
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7006
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7008
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7010
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7011
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7012
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7013
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7014
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7015
same location. (Robert Collins)
7020
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7022
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7024
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7026
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7029
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7032
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7033
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7034
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7036
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7038
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7039
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7040
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
7042
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
7043
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
7045
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
7046
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
7047
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
7049
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
7050
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
7051
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
7053
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
7054
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
7055
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
7057
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
7058
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
7061
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
7062
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
7064
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
7065
(Alexander Belchenko)
7070
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
7071
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
7072
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
7073
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7075
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
7076
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
7077
testing. (Robert Collins)
7079
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
7080
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
7082
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
7083
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
7084
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
7085
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
7086
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
7087
attribute during the test parameterisation in
7088
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
7090
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
7091
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
7092
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
7093
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
7095
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
7096
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
7098
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
7099
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
7124
********************
7126
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
7127
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7128
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
7129
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
7130
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
7131
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
7132
and unlock() like so::
7134
work_tree.lock_read()
7136
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
7142
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
7143
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
7145
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
7146
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
7147
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
7149
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
7150
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
7151
too. (Robert Collins)
7156
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
7157
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
7160
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
7161
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
7163
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
7164
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
7166
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
7167
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
7168
understanding what changes have occurred
7169
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
7171
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
7172
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
7173
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7175
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
7176
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
7177
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
7178
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
7180
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
7186
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
7187
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7188
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
7189
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
7190
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
7192
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
7193
based on split paths, not just string paths.
7194
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
7196
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
7197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
7199
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
7201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
7203
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
7204
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
7206
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
7207
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
7209
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
7210
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
7212
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
7213
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
7215
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
7216
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
7218
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
7219
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
7220
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
7225
:Released: 2007-05-07
7230
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
7231
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
7232
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
7233
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
7234
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
7236
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
7237
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
7238
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
7240
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
7241
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
7246
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
7247
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
7248
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
7250
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
7251
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
7252
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
7253
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
7258
:Released: 2007-04-30
7263
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
7264
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7265
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
7266
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
7268
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
7269
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
7270
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
7272
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
7273
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
7275
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
7276
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
7278
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
7279
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
7284
:Released: 2007-04-26
7286
Notes When Upgrading
7287
********************
7289
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
7290
it could be recovered again.
7291
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
7292
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
7293
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
7295
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
7297
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
7298
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
7303
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
7304
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7306
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
7307
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
7308
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
7309
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
7311
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
7312
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
7314
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
7315
tests with names that match that regular expression.
7316
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
7318
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
7319
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
7320
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
7322
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
7323
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
7324
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
7326
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
7327
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
7330
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
7333
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
7334
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
7335
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
7336
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
7338
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
7341
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
7342
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
7343
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
7346
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
7347
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
7349
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
7350
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
7352
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
7353
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
7354
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
7355
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
7358
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
7359
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
7361
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
7362
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7364
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
7365
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
7366
(Robert Collins, #107125).
7368
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
7369
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
7370
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
7372
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
7373
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
7374
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7376
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
7377
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
7378
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
7379
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
7381
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
7382
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
7383
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
7384
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
7386
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
7387
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
7388
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
7389
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
7390
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
7391
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
7392
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
7393
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
7400
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
7401
code paths. (Robert Collins)
7403
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
7404
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
7405
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
7406
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
7407
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7409
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
7410
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
7412
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7413
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7415
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7416
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7418
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7419
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7421
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7422
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7423
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7426
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7427
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7428
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7429
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7430
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7433
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7434
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7435
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7437
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7438
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7441
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7442
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7443
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7446
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7447
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7448
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7449
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7450
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7452
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7453
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7454
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7455
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7457
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7458
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7460
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7461
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7462
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7463
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7464
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7465
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7467
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7468
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7470
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7471
help. (Robert Collins)
7473
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7474
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7476
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7477
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7478
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7479
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7480
(John Arbash Meinel)
7482
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7483
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7484
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7485
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7486
useful. (Robert Collins)
7488
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7494
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7495
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7497
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7498
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7500
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7501
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7502
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7504
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7507
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7508
the file, and does it faster.
7509
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7511
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7512
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7513
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7515
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7516
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7517
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7518
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7520
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7521
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7522
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7523
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7525
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7526
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7528
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7529
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7530
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7531
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7534
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7536
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7537
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7539
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7540
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7542
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7543
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7544
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7545
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7549
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7555
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7556
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7557
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7559
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7560
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7562
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7563
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7564
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7565
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7566
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7567
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7568
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7569
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7571
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7572
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7573
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7575
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7576
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7577
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7578
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7579
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7581
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7583
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7584
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7585
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7587
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7588
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7594
:Released: 2007-04-01
7599
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7602
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7603
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7609
:Released: 2007-03-26
7614
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7615
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7621
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7622
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7623
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7624
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7625
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7626
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7627
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7628
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7634
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7635
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7636
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7638
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7639
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7642
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7643
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7644
(John Arbash Meinel)
7646
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7647
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7648
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7649
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7650
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7655
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7658
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7659
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7661
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7662
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7664
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7665
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7666
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7668
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7669
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7671
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7672
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7673
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7674
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7675
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7677
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7678
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7679
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7681
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
7690
********************
7692
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7693
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7694
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7699
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7700
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7702
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7703
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7705
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7707
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7708
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7710
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7711
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7716
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7722
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7723
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7724
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7725
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7727
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7728
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7730
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7731
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7733
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7736
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7737
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7743
:Released: 2007-03-07
7748
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7749
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7750
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7751
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7752
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7753
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7755
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7756
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7757
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7758
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7759
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7760
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7762
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7764
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7765
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7766
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7767
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7768
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7769
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7770
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7771
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7776
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7777
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7779
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7780
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7781
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7782
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7784
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7785
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7786
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7787
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7788
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7790
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7793
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7796
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7799
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7800
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7803
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7806
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7807
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7809
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7810
directory. (Martin Pool)
7812
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7813
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7814
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7815
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7817
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7818
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7819
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7820
in docs/configuration.txt.
7822
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7823
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7826
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7827
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7828
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7829
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7830
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7831
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7833
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7834
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7836
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7837
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7839
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7845
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7846
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7847
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7848
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7849
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7850
(John Arbash Meinel)
7852
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7853
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7856
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7857
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7858
(John Arbash Meinel)
7860
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7861
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7862
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7863
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7864
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7865
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7867
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7868
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7869
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7871
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7872
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7873
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7874
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7876
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7878
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7879
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7880
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7881
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7883
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7884
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7885
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7886
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7888
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7889
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7890
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7892
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7893
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7894
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7896
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7897
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7898
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7899
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7901
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7902
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7903
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7905
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7906
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7907
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7909
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7910
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7911
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7912
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7913
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7914
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7915
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7916
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7917
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7924
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7925
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7926
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7928
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7931
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7932
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7933
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7934
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7936
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
7937
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
7940
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
7941
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
7943
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
7945
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
7946
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
7947
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
7949
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
7950
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
7952
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
7953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
7955
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
7956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
7958
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
7959
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
7961
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
7963
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
7964
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
7969
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
7970
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
7976
:Released: 2007-01-23
7981
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
7986
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
7987
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
7988
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
7990
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
7991
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
7992
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
7998
:Released: 2007-01-16
8003
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
8004
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
8005
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8006
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8008
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
8011
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
8012
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
8013
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8015
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8016
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8018
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8021
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8022
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8023
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8024
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8025
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8026
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8028
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8029
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8030
should enable you to do::
8032
[/home/user/project]
8033
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8034
push_location:policy = appendpath
8036
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8037
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8040
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
8041
for each file. For example::
8043
$ bzr status --short
8049
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
8050
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
8052
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
8054
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
8055
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
8057
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
8062
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
8063
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
8064
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
8065
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
8067
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
8068
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
8069
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
8071
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
8073
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
8074
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
8075
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
8076
(Alexander Belchenko)
8078
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
8081
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
8082
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
8084
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
8089
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
8090
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
8092
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
8093
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
8094
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
8095
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
8096
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
8098
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
8099
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
8101
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
8102
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
8104
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
8106
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
8108
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
8109
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
8110
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
8111
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
8112
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
8114
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
8115
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
8116
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
8117
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
8119
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
8120
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
8122
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
8123
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
8125
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
8126
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
8128
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
8150
(Daniel Silverstone)
8152
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
8153
operations are substantially faster.
8154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
8156
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
8157
tree from some other url. For example:
8158
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
8159
(Daniel Silverstone)
8161
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
8162
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
8163
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
8164
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
8166
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
8169
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
8170
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
8171
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
8172
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
8173
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
8174
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
8179
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
8180
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
8183
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8184
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
8185
(John Arbash Meinel)
8187
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
8188
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
8189
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
8190
(John Arbash Meinel)
8192
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
8193
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
8195
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
8196
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8198
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
8199
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
8205
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
8206
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
8207
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
8209
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
8210
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
8211
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
8212
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
8214
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
8216
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
8217
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
8219
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
8220
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
8221
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
8222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
8224
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
8225
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
8226
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
8228
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
8229
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
8230
them as full references rather than integers.
8231
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
8233
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
8234
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
8236
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
8238
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
8239
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
8241
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
8242
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
8244
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
8245
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
8246
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
8247
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
8249
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
8250
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
8251
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
8253
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
8254
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
8256
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
8257
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
8258
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
8259
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
8266
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

8288
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
8289
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
8290
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
8291
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
8293
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
8294
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
8296
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
8298
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
8299
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
8300
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
8301
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8303
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
8304
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
8305
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
8306
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
8307
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
8312
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
8313
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
8318
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
8319
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
8320
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8322
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
8323
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
8324
(John Arbash Meinel)
8326
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
8327
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
8328
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
8330
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
8331
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
8334
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
8335
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
8336
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8338
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
8339
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
8340
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
8341
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
8342
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
8343
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8345
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
8346
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
8347
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
8350
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
8351
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
8356
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
8357
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
8358
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
8361
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
8362
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
8364
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
8365
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
8366
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
8368
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
8369
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
8371
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
8372
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
8373
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
8374
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
8376
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
8377
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
8379
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
8380
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
8381
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
8383
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
8384
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
8386
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8388
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
8389
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
8395
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
8396
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
8397
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
8398
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
8400
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
8401
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
8402
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8407

8421
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
8427
:Released: 2006-09-25
8432
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
8433
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
8434
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
8435
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
8436
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
8437
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
8438
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
8440
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
8441
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
8442
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
8444
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
8446
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
8447
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
8449
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
8450
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
8451
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
8454
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
8455
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
8456
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
8457
(John Arbash Meinel)
8459
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
8460
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
8461
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
8462
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
8465
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
8466
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
8467
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
8468
(John Arbash Meinel)
8473
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
8474
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
8476
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
8478
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
8479
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
8480
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
8482
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
8483
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
8485
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
8486
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
8488
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
8489
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
8491
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
8492
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
8494
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
8496
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
8497
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
8499
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
8500
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
8502
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
8503
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
8505
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
8506
(John Arbash Meinel)
8508
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
8509
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
8510
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
8512
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
8513
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8515
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8516
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8517
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8518
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8520
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8521
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8522
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8524
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8525
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8530
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8535
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8536
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8537
(John Arbash Meinel)
8539
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8540
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8541
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8542
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8544
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8547
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8548
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8549
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8551
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8552
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8554
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8555
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8556
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8558
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8559
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8560
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8561
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8562
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8563
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8564
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8565
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8566
caller to repeat their request.
8567
(John Arbash Meinel)
8569
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8570
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8572
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8573
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8575
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8576
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8577
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8578
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8579
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8580
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8581
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8583
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8584
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8585
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8586
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8587
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8588
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8589
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8590
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8593
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8594
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8595
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8597
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8598
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8600
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8601
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8603
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8604
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8609
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8610
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8612
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8613
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8614
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8616
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8617
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8618
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8623
:Released: 2006-08-29
8627
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8628
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8630
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8631
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8632
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8633
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8634
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8636
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8637
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8638
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8640
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8641
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8643
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8644
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8645
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8650
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8652
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8653
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8654
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8656
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8658
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8660
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8661
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8662
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8663
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8665
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8666
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8667
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8668
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8669
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8671
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8672
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8674
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8675
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8677
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8678
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8680
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8681
in handling of revision properties.
8682
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8684
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8685
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8690
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8691
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8692
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8693
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8694
(John Arbash Meinel)
8696
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8697
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8698
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
8703
:Released: 2006-08-11
8708
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
8709
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
8710
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8711
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8712
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8713
a more conservative list than the old default.
8714
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8715
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8716
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8717
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8719
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8720
to more locations than just branch locations.
8726
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8727
revno:N:branch. For example,
8728
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8729
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8731
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8732
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8733
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8734
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8735
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8736
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8737
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8738
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8741
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8742
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8743
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8746
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8747
(Alexander Belchenko)
8749
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8751
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8754
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8755
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8756
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8757
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8758
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8759
(John Arbash Meinel)
8761
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8762
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8763
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8764
grained analysis of performance.
8765
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8767
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8768
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8770
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8771
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8772
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8773
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8774
file. (Robert Collins).
8776
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8777
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8778
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8780
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8781
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8784
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8785
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8787
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8788
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8789
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8790
the same way you would apply another branch.
8791
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8793
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8794
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8796
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8799
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8802
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8803
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8804
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8806
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8807
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8808
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8810
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8811
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8813
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8814
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8815
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8816
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8817
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8819
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8820
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8822
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8823
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8824
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8825
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8826
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8827
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8828
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8829
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8831
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8832
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8833
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8838
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8840
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8842
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8843
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8845
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8846
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8848
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8849
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8851
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8853
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8854
(John Arbash Meinel)
8856
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8857
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8859
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8860
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8863
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8864
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8866
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8867
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8869
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8870
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8871
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8872
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8874
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8875
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8877
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8879
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8880
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8882
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8884
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8886
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8887
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8889
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8890
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8892
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8893
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8894
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8896
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8897
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8898
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8900
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8901
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8903
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8904
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8906
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8907
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8909
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8910
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8912
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8913
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8915
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8916
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8917
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8919
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8921
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8922
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8927
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8928
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8929
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8931
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8932
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8934
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8935
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8936
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8938
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8939
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8941
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8942
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8945
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8946
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8947
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8949
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8950
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8951
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8953
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8954
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8955
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8957
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8958
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8959
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8961
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8962
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8963
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8965
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8966
instead. (Robert Collins)
8968
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
8973
:Released: 2006-05-17
8978
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
8983
:Released: 2006-05-16
8988
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
8989
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
8991
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
8992
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8994
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
8995
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
8996
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
9001
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
9003
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
9004
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
9006
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
9011
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
9012
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
9013
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
9014
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
9019
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
9020
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
9021
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
9026
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
9027
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
9028
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)

Notes When Upgrading
9042
********************
9044
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
9045
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
9046
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
9047
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
9048
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
9049
will keep the same format.
9051
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
9052
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
9053
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
9054
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
9055
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
9057
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
9058
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
9059
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
9060
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
9061
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
9062
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
9063
indicating the current revision of the branch.
9065
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
9066
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
9067
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
9068
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
9069
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
9071
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
9072
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
9073
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
9080
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
9081
convention. Paths now take the form::
291
9083
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
293
9085
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
295
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
296
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
298
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
299
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
300
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
302
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
303
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
304
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
305
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
307
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
308
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
311
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
313
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
315
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
316
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
317
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
318
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
321
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
323
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
324
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
325
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
328
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
330
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
332
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
335
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
336
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
338
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
339
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
342
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
343
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
346
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
348
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
350
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
351
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
353
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
354
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
355
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
356
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
357
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
358
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
360
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
362
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
363
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
366
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
367
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
369
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
370
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
372
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
374
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
375
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
376
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
377
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
378
specification by Martin Pool.
379
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
381
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
384
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
385
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
387
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
388
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
389
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
391
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
393
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
394
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
399
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
400
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
402
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
404
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
406
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
409
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
410
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
411
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
412
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
416
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
417
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
418
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
419
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
421
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
422
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
425
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
428
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
430
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
431
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
432
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
434
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
435
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
437
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
438
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
439
paths. (Robert Collins)
441
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
442
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
443
needs. (Robert Collins)
445
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
446
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
447
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
449
* Progress bars are now nested - see
450
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
452
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
455
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
458
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
460
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
462
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
463
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
464
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
467
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
468
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
470
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
471
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
472
check. (Robert Collins)
474
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
475
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
479
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
480
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
482
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
483
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
484
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
485
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
487
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
488
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
489
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
490
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
491
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
493
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
494
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
495
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
497
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
499
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
500
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
506
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
507
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
509
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
510
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
511
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
514
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
515
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
517
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
518
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
519
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
520
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
523
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
524
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
525
used. (Robert Collins)
527
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
528
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
531
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
532
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
533
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
535
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
538
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
539
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
543
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
544
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
546
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
548
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
550
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
551
tree. (Robert Collins)
553
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
554
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
555
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
558
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
561
* Tweaks to short log printing
563
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
566
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
567
occurs. (Martin Pool)
569
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
570
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
572
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
573
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
575
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
576
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
577
settings. (Magnus Therning)
579
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
580
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
582
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
583
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
586
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
587
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
589
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
590
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
592
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
593
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
595
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
598
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
599
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
601
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
602
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
604
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
605
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
606
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
610
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
612
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
614
* Error when run with -OO
616
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
619
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
621
* Change status to 3 for all errors
623
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
624
ignored by diff and status
626
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
627
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
629
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
631
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
633
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
634
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
636
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
637
email address. (Marien Zwart)
639
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
642
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
643
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
645
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
647
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
648
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
650
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
653
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
656
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
660
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
661
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
663
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
665
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
667
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
669
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
670
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
671
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
673
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
675
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
678
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
680
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
681
If adding a new test script please add that to
682
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
684
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
685
imported. (Martin Pool)
687
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
688
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
689
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
690
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
691
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
694
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
695
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
696
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
698
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
699
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
700
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
702
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
703
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
704
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
705
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
706
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
709
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
710
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
715
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
716
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
718
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
719
function. (Robert Collins)
721
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
722
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
723
if needed). (Robert Collins)
725
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
726
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
728
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
729
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
730
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
731
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
732
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
733
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
734
version. (Robert Collins)
736
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
737
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
739
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
740
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
741
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
742
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
743
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
744
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
746
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
749
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
9087
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
9088
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
9090
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
9091
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
9092

* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
9100
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
9101
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
9103
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
9105
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)

9137
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
9140
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
9142
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
9144
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
9145
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
9147
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
9148
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
9149
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
9150
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
9151
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
9152
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)

* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
9156
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
9157
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
9160
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
9161
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
9163
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
9164
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
9166
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
9168
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and

9185
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
9187
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
9188
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
9194
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
9195
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9197
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
9199
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
9201
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
9204
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
9205
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
9206
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
9207
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
9212
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
9213
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
9214
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
9215
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9217
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
9218
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
9219
tried. (Martin Pool)
9221
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
9224
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
9226
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
9227
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
9228
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
9230
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
9231
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
9233
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
9234
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
9235
paths. (Robert Collins)
9237
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
9238
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
9239
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
9241
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
9242
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
9243
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
9245
* Progress bars are now nested - see
9246
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
9247
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9249
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
9252
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
9255
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
9257
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
9259
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
9260
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
9261
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
9264
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
9265
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
9267
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
9268
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
9269
check. (Robert Collins)
9271
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
9272
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
9277
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
9278
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
9280
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
9281
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
9282
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
9283
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
9285
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
9286
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
9287
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
9288
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
9289
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
9291
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
9292
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
9293
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
9295
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
9297
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
9298
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
9303
:Released: 2006-01-09
9308
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
9309
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
9311
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9312
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
9313
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
9316
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
9317
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
9319
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
9320
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
9321
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
9322
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
9323
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
9325
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
9326
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
9327
used. (Robert Collins)
9329
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
9330
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
9333
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
9334
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
9335
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
9337
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
9340
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
9341
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
9346
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
9347
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
9349
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
9351
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
9353
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
9354
tree. (Robert Collins)
9356
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9357
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
9358
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
9361
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
9364
* Tweaks to short log printing
9366
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
9369
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
9370
occurs. (Martin Pool)
9372
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
9373
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
9375
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
9376
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
9378
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
9379
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
9380
settings. (Magnus Therning)
9382
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
9383
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9385
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
9386
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
9389
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
9390
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
9392
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
9393
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
9395
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
9396
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
9398
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
9401
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
9402
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
9404
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
9405
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
9407
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
9408
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
9409
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
9414
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
9416
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9418
* Error when run with -OO
9420
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
9423
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
9425
* Change status to 3 for all errors
9427
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
9428
ignored by diff and status
9430
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
9431
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
9433
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
9435
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
9437
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
9438
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
9440
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
9441
email address. (Marien Zwart)
9443
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
9446
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
9447
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9449
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9451
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9452
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9454
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9457
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9458
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9460
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9465
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9466
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9468
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9470
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9472
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9474
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9475
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9476
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9478
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9480
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9481
(John Arbash Meinel)
9483
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9485
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9486
If adding a new test script please add that to
9487
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9489
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9490
imported. (Martin Pool)
9492
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9493
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9494
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9495
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9496
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9499
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9500
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9501
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9503
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9504
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9505
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9507
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9508
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9509
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9510
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9511
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9514
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9515
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9521
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9522
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9524
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9525
function. (Robert Collins)
9527
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9528
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9529
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9531
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9532
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9535
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9536
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9537
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9538
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9539
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9540
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9541
version. (Robert Collins)
9543
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9544
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9546
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9547
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9548
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9549
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9550
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9551
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9553
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9556
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
757
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
759
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
761
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
764
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
765
query method. (Robert Collins)
767
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
770
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
773
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
777
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
778
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
779
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
780
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
782
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
783
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
784
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
785
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
787
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
788
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
794
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
797
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
801
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
802
a separator, not ':'.
805
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
806
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
807
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
809
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
810
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
813
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
814
has been added that suppresses all output.
816
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
819
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
822
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
823
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
825
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
826
a revision. (Robert Collins)
828
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
829
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
830
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
831
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
833
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
835
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
836
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
838
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
839
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
841
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
842
output directory, if one was supplied.
844
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
845
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
846
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
847
parameters. (Robert Collins)
849
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
851
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
852
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
854
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
855
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
856
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
858
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
859
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
861
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
864
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
866
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
870
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
871
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
872
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
874
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
875
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
876
related questions. (Robert Collins)
878
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
879
is given. (Martin Pool)
881
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
882
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
883
file. (Robert Collins)
885
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
890
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
891
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
892
representation. (Martin Pool).
894
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
895
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
896
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
898
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
901
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
902
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
905
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
906
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
907
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
908
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
909
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
911
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
912
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
913
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
914
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
915
python path. (Robert Collins)
917
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
918
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
919
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
920
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
922
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
923
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
925
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
926
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
929
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
930
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
931
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
933
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
934
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
935
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
937
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
938
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
940
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
941
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
942
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
945
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
946
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
947
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
948
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
951
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
954
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
955
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
958
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
959
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
960
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
962
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
963
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
964
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
966
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
967
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
968
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
970
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
971
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
973
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
974
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
975
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
976
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
977
caller. (Robert Collins)
979
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
980
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
983
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
984
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
986
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
988
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
989
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
993
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
994
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
996
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
997
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1004
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1005
allow directories to be listed.
1007
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1008
upgrading branch format.
1012
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1019
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1020
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1021
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1022
high-latency connections.
1026
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1029
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1030
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1032
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1033
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1034
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1035
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1037
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1038
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1040
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1041
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1043
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1044
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1045
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1047
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1048
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1049
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1052
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1053
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1055
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1056
different partial views of history.
1058
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1059
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1064
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1065
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1066
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1068
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1069
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1072
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1073
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1075
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1078
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1079
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1081
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1082
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1083
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1084
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1086
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1088
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1089
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1092
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1093
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1095
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1096
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1097
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1102
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1103
for your viewing pleasure.
1105
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1106
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1108
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1109
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1110
handling of such circumstances.
1115
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1116
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1118
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1119
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1122
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1126
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1128
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1131
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1133
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1135
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1136
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1140
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1141
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1143
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1144
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1145
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1146
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1149
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1150
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1154
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1156
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1157
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1160
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1164
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1165
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1166
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1167
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1170
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1173
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1174
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1175
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1176
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1177
for the operating system is still tried.
1179
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1180
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1181
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1186
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1190
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1192
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1195
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1201
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1203
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
1206
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
1210
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
1211
help with intelligent shell completion.
1213
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
1218
* Much better merge support.
1220
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
1221
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
1227
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
1228
mention revisions that are not present.
1230
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1232
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1234
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1235
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1240
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1242
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1243
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1249
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1250
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
1255
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
1259
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
1260
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
1262
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
1264
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
1265
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
1267
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
1270
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
1272
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
1275
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
1276
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
1278
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
1279
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
1280
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
1285
* Faster working tree operations.
1290
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
1291
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
1292
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
1293
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
1295
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
1296
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
1297
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
1298
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
1299
standard plugins directory.
1301
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
1302
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
1303
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
1304
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
1306
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
1307
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
1309
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
1312
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
1313
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
1314
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
1316
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
1317
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
1319
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
1320
line options must come before the command name because they
1321
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
1322
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
1325
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
1327
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
1328
is available with ``--short``.
1333
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
1336
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
1340
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
1341
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1343
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
1344
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
1345
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
1346
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
1348
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
1349
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
1350
with the ``--forward`` option.
1352
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
1353
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
1359
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
1360
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
1362
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
1364
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
1365
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
1367
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
1369
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
1370
either read or write mode.
1372
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
1374
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
1377
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
1379
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
1380
suggested by LarstiQ.
1382
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
1383
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
1385
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
1388
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
1389
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
1391
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
1392
haven't changed since the previous time.
1394
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
1395
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
1397
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
1399
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
1401
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
1402
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
1404
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
1405
options through to an external GNU diff.
1407
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1410
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1416
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1417
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1419
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
1425
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1426
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1429
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1430
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1432
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1433
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1435
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1436
under a different version.
1438
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
1443
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
1445
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1446
Scott James Remnant.
1448
* Better help messages for many commands.
1450
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1451
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1453
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1454
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1456
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1458
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1460
* New AtomicFile class.
1462
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1467
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1468
2.4 is now only recommended.
1471
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
1475
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
1476
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
1478
* More default ignore patterns.
1480
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
1481
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
1483
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
1485
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
1488
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
1493
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
1494
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
1495
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1496
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
1497
there are DNS problems.
1499
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
1504
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1506
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
1508
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
1509
trailing newlines properly.
1514
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
1517
* More tests in test.sh.
1519
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1520
directory and delete it when done.
1522
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
1527
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
1530
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
1534
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
1538
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
1541
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
1543
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
1546
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
1549
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
1551
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
1555
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
1556
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
1561
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
1562
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
1567
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
1571
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
9566
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9568
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9570
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9573
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9574
query method. (Robert Collins)
9576
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9579
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9582
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9585
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9586
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9587
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9588
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9590
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9591
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9592
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9593
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9595
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9596
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9601
:Released: 2005-10-28
9606
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9609
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9613
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9614
a separator, not ':'.
9617
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9618
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9619
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9621
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9622
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9625
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9626
has been added that suppresses all output.
9628
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9631
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9632
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9634
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9635
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9637
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9638
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9640
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9641
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9642
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9643
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9645
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9647
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9648
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9650
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9651
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9653
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9654
output directory, if one was supplied.
9656
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9657
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9658
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9659
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9661
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9663
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9664
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9666
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9667
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9668
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9670
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9671
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9673
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9676
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9678
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9683
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9684
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9685
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9687
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9688
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9689
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9691
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9692
is given. (Martin Pool)
9694
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9695
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9696
file. (Robert Collins)
9698
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9704
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9705
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9706
representation. (Martin Pool).
9708
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9709
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9710
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9712
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9715
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9716
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9719
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9720
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9721
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9722
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9723
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9725
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9726
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9727
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9728
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9729
python path. (Robert Collins)
9731
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9732
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9733
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9734
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9736
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9737
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9739
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9740
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9743
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9744
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9745
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9747
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9748
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9749
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9751
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9752
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9754
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9755
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9756
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9759
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9760
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9761
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9762
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9765
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9768
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9769
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9772
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9773
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9774
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9776
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9777
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9778
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9780
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9781
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9782
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9784
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9785
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9787
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9788
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9789
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9790
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9791
caller. (Robert Collins)
9793
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9794
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9797
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9798
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9801
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9803
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9804
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9809
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9810
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9812
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9813
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
9819
:Released: 2005-10-12
9824
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
9825
allow directories to be listed.
9827
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
9828
upgrading branch format.
9833
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
9839
:Released: 2005-10-11
9844
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
9845
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
9846
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
9847
high-latency connections.
9852
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9855
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9856
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
9858
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
9859
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
9860
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
9861
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9863
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
9864
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
9866
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
9867
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
9869
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
9870
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
9871
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9873
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
9874
for files with only a change to their executable status.
9875
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
9878
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
9879
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
9881
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
9882
different partial views of history.
9884
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
9885
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
9890
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
9891
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
9892
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9894
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
9895
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
9898
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
9899
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
9901
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
9904
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
9905
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
9907
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
9908
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
9909
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
9910
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9912
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
9914
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
9915
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
9918
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
9919
Contributed by Robert Collins.
9921
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
9922
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
9923
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
9929
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
9930
for your viewing pleasure.
9932
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
9933
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
9935
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
9936
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
9937
handling of such circumstances.
9939
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
9940
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9941
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9943
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9945
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9946
we call them revisions not patches.
9948
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9949
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9951
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9952
giving the revision *of that file*.
9954
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
9955
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
9956
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
9961
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
9962
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
9964
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
9965
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
9971
:Released: 2005-09-23
9976
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
9978
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
9981
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
9983
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
9985
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
9986
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9991
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
9992
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
9994
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9995
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
9996
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
9997
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
10000
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
10001
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10006
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
10008
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
10009
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
10015
:Released: 2005-09-20
10021
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
10022
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
10023
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
10024
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
10027
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
10030
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
10031
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
10032
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
10033
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
10034
for the operating system is still tried.
10036
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
10037
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
10038
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
10044
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
10049
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
10051
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
10054
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
10061
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
10063
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

:Released: 2005-09-02
10074
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
10075
help with intelligent shell completion.
10077
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
10083
* Much better merge support.
10085
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
10086
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
10093
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
10094
mention revisions that are not present.
10096
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
10098
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
10100
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
10101
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
10107
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
10109
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
10110
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
10117
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
10118
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
10126
:Released: 2005-08-18
10131
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
10132
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
10134
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10136
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
10137
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
10139
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
10142
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
10144
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
10147
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
10148
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
10150
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
10151
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
10152
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
10158
* Faster working tree operations.
10164
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
10165
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
10166
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
10167
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
10169
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
10170
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
10171
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
10172
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
10173
standard plugins directory.
10175
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
10176
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
10177
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
10178
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
10180
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
10181
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
10183
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
10186
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
10187
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
10188
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
10190
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
10191
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
10193
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
10194
line options must come before the command name because they
10195
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
10196
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
10199
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
10201
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
10202
is available with ``--short``.
10208
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
10214
:Released: 2005-06-15
10219
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
10220
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10222
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
10223
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
10224
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
10225
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
10227
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
10228
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
10229
with the ``--forward`` option.
10231
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
10232
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
10239
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
10240
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
10242
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10244
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
10245
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
10247
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
10249
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
10250
either read or write mode.
10252
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
10254
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
10255
affected that file.
10257
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
10259
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
10260
suggested by LarstiQ.
10262
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
10263
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
10265
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
10268
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
10269
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
10271
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
10272
haven't changed since the previous time.
10274
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
10275
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
10277
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
10279
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
10281
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
10282
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
10284
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
10285
options through to an external GNU diff.
10287
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
10290
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
10297
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
10298
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
10300
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
10307
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
10308
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
10311
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
10312
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
10314
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
10315
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
10317
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
10318
under a different version.
10320
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
10326
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
10328
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
10329
Scott James Remnant.
10331
* Better help messages for many commands.
10333
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
10334
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
10336
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
10337
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
10339
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
10341
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
10343
* New AtomicFile class.
10345
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
10351
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
10352
2.4 is now only recommended.

:Released: 2005-04-22
10363
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
10364
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
10366
* More default ignore patterns.
10368
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
10369
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
10371
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
10373
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
10376
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
10382
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
10383
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
10384
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
10385
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
10386
there are DNS problems.
10388
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
10394
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
10396
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
10398
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
10399
trailing newlines properly.
10405
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
10408
* More tests in test.sh.
10410
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
10411
directory and delete it when done.
10413
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.

* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
10422
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

10434
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
10437
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
10439
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
10442
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
10445
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
10447
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
10452
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
10453
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
10459
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
10460
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
10466
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
10471
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1578
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
1581
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
1585
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
1587
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
1588
rather than replacing it.
1590
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
1594
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
1597
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
1598
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
1600
* Performance improvements.
1602
* New global --profile option.
1604
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
1605
the root directory only.
1608
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
1612
* More information from info command.
1614
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
1616
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
1617
committing to stores.
1619
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
1623
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
1627
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
1628
installation easier.
