5
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
10
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
13
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
14
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
16
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
17
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
18
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
19
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
24
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
25
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
27
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
29
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
31
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
32
tree. (Robert Collins)
34
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
35
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
36
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
39
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
42
* Tweaks to short log printing
44
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
47
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
50
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
51
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
53
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
54
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
58
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
60
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
62
* Error when run with -OO
64
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
67
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
69
* Change status to 3 for all errors
71
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
72
ignored by diff and status
74
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
75
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
77
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
78
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
80
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
81
email address. (Marien Zwart)
83
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
86
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PASS environment variable is
87
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
91
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
92
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
94
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
96
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
98
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
100
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
101
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
102
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
104
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
106
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
111
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
112
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
114
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
115
function. (Robert Collins)
117
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
118
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
119
if needed). (Robert Collins)
121
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
122
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
124
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
125
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
126
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
127
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
128
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
129
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
130
version. (Robert Collins)
132
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
133
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
135
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
136
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
137
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
138
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
139
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
140
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
142
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
145
* Branch.commit() has moved to WorkingTree.commit(). (Robert Collins)
152
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
155
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
159
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
160
a separator, not ':'.
163
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
164
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
165
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
167
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
168
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
171
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
172
has been added that suppresses all output.
174
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
177
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from

############################
23
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
24
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
26
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
29
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
31
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
32
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
33
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
35
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
36
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
38
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
39
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
41
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
42
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
47
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
48
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
53
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
54
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)

:Codename: Stability First
72
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
73
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
74
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
80
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
81
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
82
(Robert Collins, #3918)
84
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
85
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
86
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
88
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
89
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
90
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
92
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
93
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
95
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
96
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
97
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
98
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
99
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
101
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
102
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
104
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
105
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
106
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
107
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
109
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
110
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
111
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
113
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
114
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
115
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
116
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
117
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
118
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
119
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
121
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
122
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
124
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
125
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
126
to download the entire cix file many times.
127
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
129
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
130
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
135
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
137
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
145
:Codename: Instant Karma
147
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
148
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
149
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
150
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
151
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
154
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
155
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
157
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
158
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
159
months or until the following stable release.
161
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
162
******************************
164
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
165
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
166
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
167
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
172
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
177
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
178
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
179
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
184
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
185
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
186
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
187
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
188
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
189
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
190
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
192
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
193
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
194
(Robert Collins, #416732)
196
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
197
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
199
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
200
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
201
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
203
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
204
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
206
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
207
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
208
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
209
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
210
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
211
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
212
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
214
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
215
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
216
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
217
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
218
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
219
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
221
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
222
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
223
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
225
* Fix a segmentation fault when computing the ``merge_sort`` of a graph
226
that has a ghost in the mainline ancestry.
227
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
229
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
230
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
231
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
233
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
234
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
235
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
237
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
238
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
240
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
241
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
242
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
243
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
248
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
250
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
252
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
253
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
255
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
256
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
257
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
259
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
260
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
261
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
263
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
264
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
270
:Codename: no worries
271
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
276
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
277
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
278
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
279
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
280
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
282
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
283
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
284
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
285
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
290
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
291
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
296
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
297
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
298
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
299
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
300
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
302
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
303
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
306
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
307
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
309
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
310
(Martin Pool, #286871)
312
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
313
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
314
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
316
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
317
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
318
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
319
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
324
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
325
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
326
(Martin Pool, #409137)
328
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
329
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
330
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
331
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
333
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
335
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
336
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
338
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
339
(Robert Collins, #305006)
341
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the the iter_changes
342
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
343
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
345
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
346
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
347
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
348
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
349
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
350
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
355
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
361
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
362
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
363
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
374
:Codename: nein nein nein!
377
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
378
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
379
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
380
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
381
pushing to older servers.
386
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
387
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
388
(Martin Pool, #415508)
390
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
391
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
392
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
397
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
398
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
400
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
401
(Robert Collins, #305006)
406
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
407
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
408
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
410
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
411
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
412
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
421
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
422
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
423
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
424
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
425
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
433
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
434
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
435
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
436
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
437
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
439
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
440
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
442
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
443
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
445
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
446
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
448
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
449
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
450
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
451
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
453
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
454
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
455
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
457
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
458
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
460
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
461
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
462
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
463
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
468
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
469
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
470
(Martin Pool, #409137)
472
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
473
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
474
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
475
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
476
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
478
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
479
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
480
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
492
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
493
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
494
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
495
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
496
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
497
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
499
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
500
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
501
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
502
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
504
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
505
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
506
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
507
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
510
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
511
protocols. (Robert Collins)
513
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
514
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
515
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
516
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
522
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
523
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

533
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
534
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
535
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
536
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
537
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
538
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
540
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
541
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
542
or until the following stable release.
544
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
549
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
550
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
552
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
553
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
554
(Martin Pool, #391411)
559
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
560
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
561
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
563
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
564
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
565
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
566
(Martin Pool, #123688)
568
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
569
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
570
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
571
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
573
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
574
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
576
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
577
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
578
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
579
(Robert Collins, #282402)
581
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
582
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
584
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
585
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
587
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
588
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
589
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
590
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
591
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
593
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
594
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
595
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
597
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
598
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
599
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
600
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
601
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
603
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
604
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
606
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
607
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
608
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
610
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
611
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
612
(Martin Pool, #408201)
614
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
615
(Martin Pool, #403523)
617
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
618
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
619
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
621
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
622
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
624
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
625
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
627
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
628
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
630
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
631
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
632
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
634
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
635
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
636
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
638
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
640
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
641
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
643
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
644
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
645
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
646
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
647
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
648
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
650
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
651
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
652
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
654
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
655
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
656
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
657
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
659
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
660
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
661
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
662
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
663
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
665
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
666
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
667
(Robert Collins, #187207)
672
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
675
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
676
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
677
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
678
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
680
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
681
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
687
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
692
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
693
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
694
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
695
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
696
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
697
passwords. (Martin Pool)
699
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
702
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
705
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
709
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
710
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
715
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
716
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
717
paths. (Robert Collins)
719
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
720
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
722
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
723
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
724
disk. (Robert Collins)
726
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
729
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
730
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
731
(Alexander Belchenko)
737
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
738
(Martin Pool, #409684)
740
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
741
(Martin Pool, #408199)
743
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
744
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
745
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
746
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
747
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
748
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

758
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
759
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
762
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
763
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
764
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
765
annoying progress bar artifacts.
768
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
769
*********************************
771
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
772
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
773
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
775
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
776
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
777
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
779
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
780
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
786
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
787
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
788
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
789
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
795
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
796
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
797
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
798
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
800
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
801
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
802
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
804
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
805
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
806
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
808
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
810
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
811
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
812
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
813
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
819
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
820
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
822
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
823
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
824
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
825
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
827
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
828
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
830
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
831
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
832
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
834
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
835
(Martin Pool, #321935)
837
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
838
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
840
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
841
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
843
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
844
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
845
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
847
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
850
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
851
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
853
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
854
of a remote repository.
855
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
857
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
858
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
861
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
863
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
865
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
866
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
868
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
869
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
871
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
872
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
873
(Martin Pool, #339385)
875
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
876
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
877
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
878
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
881
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
882
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
883
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
885
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
886
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
887
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
888
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
889
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
890
(Robert Collins, #376243)
892
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
893
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
894
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
895
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
896
activity display respectively.
897
(Martin Pool, #340347)
899
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
900
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
902
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
905
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
906
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
912
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
913
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
914
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
915
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
917
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
918
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
919
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
920
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
923
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
924
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
926
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
927
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
928
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
929
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
930
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
931
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
933
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
934
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
935
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
936
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
938
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
939
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
940
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
944
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
945
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
946
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
947
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
953
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
954
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
955
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
956
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
958
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
959
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
960
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
962
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
965
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
966
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
968
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
969
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
970
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
972
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
973
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
974
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
975
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
977
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
983
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
984
formatting in the user reference.
985
(Martin Pool, #249908)
987
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
993
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
996
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
997
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
998
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
1004
:Released: 2009-06-26
1006
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
1007
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
1008
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
1011
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
1012
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
1013
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
1015
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
1016
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
1021
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
1022
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1024
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
1025
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
1026
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
1028
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
1029
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
1030
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
1031
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
1032
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
1033
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
1034
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1036
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
1037
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
1038
converted data. (Robert Collins)
1040
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
1041
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
1042
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
1044
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
1045
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
1046
that. (Robert Collins)
1048
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
1049
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
1050
repository. (Robert Collins)
1052
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
1053
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
1054
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
1055
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
1067
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
1068
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.

Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
1076
*********************************
1078
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
1079
2a can work correctly.
1080
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
1082
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1083
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1084
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1087
Compatibility Breaks
1088
********************
1090
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
1091
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
1092
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
1098
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
1099
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
1100
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
1101
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
1102
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
1103
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
1106
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
1107
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
1108
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
1109
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
1111
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
1112
and more concisely repacks the full history.
1114
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
1115
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
1117
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
1118
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
1119
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1121
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
1122
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
1128
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
1129
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
1130
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1132
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
1133
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
1134
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
1135
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
1136
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
1138
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
1139
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
1140
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
1141
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
1143
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
1144
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
1150
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
1151
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
1152
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
1153
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1159
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
1160
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
1162
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
1163
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
1165
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
1166
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
1167
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
1169
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
1170
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
1172
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
1173
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
1174
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
1176
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
1177
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
1178
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
1179
(John Arbash Meinel)
1181
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
1182
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
1184
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
1185
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1187
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1188
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1190
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1191
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1192
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1193
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1194
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1195
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1197
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1199
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1200
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1202
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1203
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1205
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1206
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1207
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1208
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1209
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1211
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1212
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1213
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1214
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1219
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1220
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1221
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1226
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1228
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1229
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
1230
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1232
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
1233
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
1234
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
1236
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
1237
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1239
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
1240
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
1245
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
1246
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1251
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
1253
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1255
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
1260
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
1264
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
1265
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
1266
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
1267
revisions introduce the exact same line.
1269
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
1270
*****************************
1272
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
1273
(Alexander Belchenko)
1275
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
1276
*********************************
1278
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1279
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1280
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1281
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1283
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
1284
*********************************
1288
Compatibility Breaks
1289
********************
1291
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
1292
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
1293
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
1294
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
1299
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1300
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1303
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
1304
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
1305
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1306
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1308
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1309
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1310
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1311
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1313
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1314
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1317
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1318
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1319
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1324
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1325
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1327
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1328
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1330
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1331
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1332
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1334
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1339
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1340
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1342
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1344
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1345
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1347
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1348
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1350
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1351
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1353
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1354
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1355
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1356
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1358
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1359
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1361
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1362
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1364
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1365
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1367
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
1368
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1370
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
1371
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1373
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1374
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1376
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1377
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1379
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1380
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1381
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1382
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1383
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1384
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1385
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1386
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1387
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1388
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1389
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1390
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1391
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1392
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1394
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1395
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1396
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1398
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1399
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1407
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1408
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1409
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1411
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1412
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1413
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1414
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1415
(Alexander Belchenko)
1420
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1421
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1422
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1424
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1425
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1428
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1429
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1430
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1431
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1432
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1434
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1435
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1436
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1438
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1439
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1440
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1441
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1443
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1444
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1445
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1447
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1448
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1450
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1451
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1452
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1453
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1455
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1456
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1457
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1459
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1460
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1462
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1463
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1464
branches. (Robert Collins)
1466
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1467
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1469
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1474
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1475
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
1526
********************
1528
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
1529
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
1530
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
1531
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
1532
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1534
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1535
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1536
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1538
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1539
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1540
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1541
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1542
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1547
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1548
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1549
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1550
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1551
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1554
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1557
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1558
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1560
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1561
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1562
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1563
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1564
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1566
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1567
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1569
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1572
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1573
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1574
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1575
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1578
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1579
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1580
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1581
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1582
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1584
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1585
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1588
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1594
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1595
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1596
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1598
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1599
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1600
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1601
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1602
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1604
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1605
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1608
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1609
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1610
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1612
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1615
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1618
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1619
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1621
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1622
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1624
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1625
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1627
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server

now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1631
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1632
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1633
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1635
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1636
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1637
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1640
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1641
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1642
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1643
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1645
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1646
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1647
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1648
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1649
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1650
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1651
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1652
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1653
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1655
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1661
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1662
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1663
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1664
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1665
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1666
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1667
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1669
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1670
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1672
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1673
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1674
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1675
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1677
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1678
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1680
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1682
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1685
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1686
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1687
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1689
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1690
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1692
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1693
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1695
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1696
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1697
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1699
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1700
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1701
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1702
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1704
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1706
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1707
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1709
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1710
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1711
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1712
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1713
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1715
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1716
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1717
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1718
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1719
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1720
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1721
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1723
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1724
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1726
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1727
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1730
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1731
(James Westby, #341558)
1733
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1734
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1736
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1737
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1742
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1744
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1746
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1747
(James Westby, #336998)
1752
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1755
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1756
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1759
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1760
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1763
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1764
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1765
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1767
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1768
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1769
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1771
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1772
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1773
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1774
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1777
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1778
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1781
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1784
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1785
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1787
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1788
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1789
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1790
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1792
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1793
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1794
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1799
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1800
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1801
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1802
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1803
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1805
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1806
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1808
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1809
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1810
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1811
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1817
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1818
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1820
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1821
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1823
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1824
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1825
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1827
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1828
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1829
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1830
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1832
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1833
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1834
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1835
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1837
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1838
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1839
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1841
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1842
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1843
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1845
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1846
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1847
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1849
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1850
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1853
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1854
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1855
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1857
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1858
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1860
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1861
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1862
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1864
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1865
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1868
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1869
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1870
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1872
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1873
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1874
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1875
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1876
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1878
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1879
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1880
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1881
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1883
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1884
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1885
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1886
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1888
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1889
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1890
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1892
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1893
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1896
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1897
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1898
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1900
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1901
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1902
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1903
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1904
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1906
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1907
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1908
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1911
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1912
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1913
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1914
desired. (Robert Collins)
1916
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1917
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1918
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1919
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1921
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1922
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1923
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1940
*****************************
1942
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1943
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1944
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1945
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1946
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1947
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1953
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1954
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1955
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1957
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1958
********************************
1960
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1961
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1962
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1967
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1968
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1970
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1971
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1973
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1974
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1976
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1978
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1979
*********************************
1981
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1982
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1983
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1985
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1986
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1988
Compatibility Breaks
1989
********************
1991
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1992
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1993
command may need to be adjusted.
1994
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1999
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
2000
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
2001
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
2003
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
2006
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
2007
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
2008
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
2011
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
2012
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
2014
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
2015
(John Arbash Meinel)
2017
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
2018
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
2020
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
2022
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
2023
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
2026
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
2032
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
2033
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
2034
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
2035
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
2036
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
2037
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
2038
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
2039
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
2042
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
2043
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
2045
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
2046
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
2047
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
2049
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
2050
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
2052
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
2053
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
2054
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
2057
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
2058
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
2059
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2061
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
2062
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
2063
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
2064
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2066
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
2069
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
2070
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
2072
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
2073
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
2075
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
2076
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
2077
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
2079
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
2084
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
2085
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
2087
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
2088
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
2089
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
2091
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
2092
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
2093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
2095
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
2096
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
2098
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
2099
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
2102
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
2103
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
2104
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
2106
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
2107
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
2109
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
2110
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
2112
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
2113
(James Westby, #174539)
2115
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2116
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2118
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
2119
error branching from old repositories.
2120
(Martin Pool, #321695)
2122
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
2123
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
2125
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
2126
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
2127
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
2128
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2130
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
2131
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
2134
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
2135
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
2137
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
2138
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
2140
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
2141
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
2142
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2144
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
2145
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
2147
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
2148
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
2153
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
2154
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
2155
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
2158
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
2159
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
2161
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
2162
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
2167
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
2168
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
2169
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
2170
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
2171
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
2173
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
2174
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2176
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
2177
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
2178
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
2179
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
2180
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
2181
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
2183
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
2184
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2186
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2187
"author" argument being deprecated.
2189
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2191
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2192
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2193
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2194
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2196
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2197
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2198
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2200
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2201
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2202
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2204
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2205
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2207
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2208
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2209
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2210
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2215
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2216
free of virtual file system methods.
2217
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2219
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2220
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2221
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2223
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2224
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2225
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2226
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
2227
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
2228
(Robert Collins, #334187)
2230
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
2232
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
2233
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
2235
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
2236
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
2237
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
2238
stream the operation.
2239
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2241
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
2242
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
2244
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
2245
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
2246
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
2247
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
2248
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2250
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
2251
branch object. (Robert Collins)
2253
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
2254
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
2255
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
2257
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
2258
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
2261
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
2264
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
2265
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
2266
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2268
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
2269
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
2270
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2272
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
2273
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
2274
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2276
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
2277
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
2278
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2280
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
2281
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
2282
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
2283
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
2284
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
2286
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
2287
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
2288
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
2289
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
2290
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
2291
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
2293
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
2294
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
2295
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
2296
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
2297
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2299
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
2300
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2302
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
2303
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
2305
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2306
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2307
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2308
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2309
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2311
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2312
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:Codename: 1234567890
2321
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
2323
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2324
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2325
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2326
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2327
by showing the rate of network IO.
2329
Changes from RC1 to Final
2330
*************************
2332
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2333
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2335
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2336
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2338
Compatibility Breaks
2339
********************
2341
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2342
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2343
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2344
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2346
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2347
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2348
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2351
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2352
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2353
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2354
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2356
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2357
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2358
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2361
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2366
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2367
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2368
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2371
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2372
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2373
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2375
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2376
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2377
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2378
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2379
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2380
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2381
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2382
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2383
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2389
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2392
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2395
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2396
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2397
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2399
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2400
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2401
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2402
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2403
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2405
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2406
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2408
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2409
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2410
level for better precision.
2413
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2414
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2416
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2417
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2418
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2420
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2421
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2422
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2425
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2426
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2427
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2432
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2434
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2436
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2437
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2438
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2440
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2441
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2442
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2443
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2444
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2445
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2447
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2448
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2450
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2451
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2453
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2454
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2455
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2457
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2458
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2459
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2462
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2463
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2465
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2466
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2467
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2468
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2470
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2471
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2473
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2475
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2480
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2485
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2486
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2489
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2490
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2492
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2493
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2495
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2496
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2498
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2499
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2500
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2501
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2503
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2504
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2505
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2510
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2511
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2512
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2513
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2514
compile buffers, are such an example).
2517
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2518
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2521
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2522
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2523
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2526
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2527
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2529
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2530
formatters to retrict the output.
2537
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
2538
:Released: 2009-01-19
2540
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2541
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2542
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2543
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2544
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2546
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2547
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2550
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2551
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2556
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2559
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
2560
(John Arbash Meinel)
2567
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
2568
:Released: 2009-01-09
2573
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2574
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2579
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2580
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2582
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2583
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2584
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2585
implement other plugins.
2588
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2594
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2595
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2597
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2598
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2600
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2601
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2602
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2603
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2606
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2607
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2608
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2609
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2610
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2612
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2613
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2614
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2615
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2616
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2621
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2622
control directory. (#139691)
2624
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2625
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2627
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2628
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2630
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2631
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2632
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2634
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2635
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2637
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2638
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2639
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2641
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2642
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2644
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2647
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2648
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2649
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2651
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2652
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2654
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2655
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2656
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2658
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2659
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2660
in the appropriate sections.
2661
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2663
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2664
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2665
(John Arbash meinel)
2667
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2668
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2670
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2673
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2674
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2676
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2677
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2678
work better with how it splits its requests.
2679
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2681
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2682
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2683
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2685
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2688
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2690
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2693
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2699
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2700
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2701
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2707
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2708
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2709
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2710
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2712
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2713
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2715
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2716
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2717
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2718
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2720
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2721
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2722
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2723
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2728
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2729
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2730
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2732
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2733
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2734
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2735
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2737
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2738
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2739
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2745
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2746
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2747
(John Arbash Meinel)
2749
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2750
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2751
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2752
(John Arbash Meinel)
2754
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2755
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2756
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2757
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2759
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2760
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2761
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2763
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2764
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2765
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2766
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2768
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2769
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2770
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2771
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2772
(John Arbash Meinel)
180
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
181
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
183
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
184
a revision. (Robert Collins)
186
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
187
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
188
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
189
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
191
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
193
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
194
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
196
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
197
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
199
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
200
output directory, if one was supplied.
202
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
203
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
204
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
205
parameters. (Robert Collins)
207
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
209
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
210
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
212
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
213
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
214
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
216
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
217
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
219
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
222
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
224
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
228
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
229
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
230
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
232
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
233
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
234
related questions. (Robert Collins)
236
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
237
is given. (Martin Pool)
239
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
240
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
241
file. (Robert Collins)
243
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
248
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
249
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
250
representation. (Martin Pool).
252
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
253
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
254
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
256
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
259
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
260
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
263
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
264
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
265
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
266
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
267
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
269
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
270
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
271
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
272
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
273
python path. (Robert Collins)
275
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
276
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
277
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
278
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
280
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
281
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
283
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
284
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
287
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
288
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
289
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
291
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
292
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
293
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
295
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
296
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
298
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
299
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
300
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
303
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
304
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
305
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
306
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
309
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
312
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
313
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
316
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
317
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
318
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
320
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
321
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
322
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
324
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
325
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
326
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
328
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
329
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
331
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
332
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
333
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
334
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
335
caller. (Robert Collins)
337
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
338
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
341
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
342
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
344
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
346
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
347
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
351
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
352
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
354
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
355
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
362
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
363
allow directories to be listed.
365
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
366
upgrading branch format.
370
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
377
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
378
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
379
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
380
high-latency connections.
384
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
387
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
388
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
390
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
391
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
392
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
393
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
395
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
396
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
398
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
399
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
401
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
402
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
403
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
405
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
406
for files with only a change to their executable status.
407
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
410
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
411
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
413
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
414
different partial views of history.
416
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
417
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
422
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
423
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
424
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
426
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
427
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
430
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
431
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
433
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
436
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
437
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
439
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
440
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
441
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
442
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
444
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
446
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
447
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
450
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
451
Contributed by Robert Collins.
453
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
454
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
455
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
460
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
461
for your viewing pleasure.
463
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
464
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
466
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
467
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
468
handling of such circumstances.
473
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
474
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
476
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
477
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
484
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
486
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
489
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
491
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
493
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
494
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
498
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
499
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
501
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
502
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
503
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
504
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
507
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
508
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
512
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
514
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
515
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
522
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
523
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
524
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
525
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
528
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
531
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
532
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
533
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
534
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
535
for the operating system is still tried.
537
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
538
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
539
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
544
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
548
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
550
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
553
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
559
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
561
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
568
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
569
help with intelligent shell completion.
571
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
576
* Much better merge support.
578
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
579
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
585
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
586
mention revisions that are not present.
588
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
590
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
592
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
593
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
598
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
600
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
601
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
607
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
608
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
617
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
618
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
620
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
622
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
623
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
625
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
628
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
630
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
633
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
634
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
636
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
637
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
638
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
643
* Faster working tree operations.
648
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
649
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
650
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
651
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
653
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
654
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
655
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
656
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
657
standard plugins directory.
659
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
660
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
661
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
662
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
664
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
665
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
667
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
670
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
671
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
672
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
674
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
675
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
677
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
678
line options must come before the command name because they
679
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
680
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
683
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
685
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
686
is available with ``--short``.
691
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
698
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
699
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
701
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
702
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
703
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
704
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
706
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
707
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
708
with the ``--forward`` option.
710
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
711
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
717
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
718
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
720
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
722
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
723
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
725
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
727
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
728
either read or write mode.
730
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
732
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
735
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
737
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
738
suggested by LarstiQ.
740
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
741
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
743
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
746
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
747
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
749
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
750
haven't changed since the previous time.
752
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
753
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
755
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
757
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
759
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
760
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
762
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
763
options through to an external GNU diff.
765
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
768
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
774
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
775
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
777
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
783
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
784
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
787
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
788
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
790
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
791
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
793
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
794
under a different version.
796
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
801
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
803
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
806
* Better help messages for many commands.
808
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
809
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
811
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
812
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
814
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
816
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
818
* New AtomicFile class.
820
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
825
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
826
2.4 is now only recommended.
833
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
834
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
836
* More default ignore patterns.
838
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
839
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
841
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
843
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
846
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
851
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
852
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
853
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
854
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
855
there are DNS problems.
857
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
862
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
864
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
866
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
867
trailing newlines properly.
872
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
875
* More tests in test.sh.
877
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
878
directory and delete it when done.
880
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
885
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
888
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
896
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
899
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
901
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
904
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
907
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
909
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
913
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
914
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
919
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
920
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
925
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
929
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
2774
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2775
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2777
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2778
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2779
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2781
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2782
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2783
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2784
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2786
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2787
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2788
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2789
(John Arbash Meinel)
2791
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2792
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2793
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2794
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2795
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2796
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2797
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2799
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2800
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

2809
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2810
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2811
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2812
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2815
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2820
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2821
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2822
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2823
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2825
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2826
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2827
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2828
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2829
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
2835
:Released: 2008-11-28
2837
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2838
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2839
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2840
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2841
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2846
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2847
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2849
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2855
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2856
history just to set the last revision info.
2857
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2859
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2860
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2861
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2862
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2864
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2865
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2866
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2867
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2868
(John Arbash Meinel)
2870
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2871
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2873
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2874
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2875
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2876
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2877
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2879
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2880
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2881
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2882
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2887
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2888
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2890
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2891
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2893
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2894
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2895
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2896
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2898
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2899
starting with a dotted revno.
2900
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2902
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2903
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2904
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2906
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2907
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2908
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2910
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2911
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2912
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2914
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2915
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2916
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2917
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2919
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2920
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2921
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2923
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2924
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2929
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2930
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2931
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2932
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2934
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2935
have changed incompatibly.
2937
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2938
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2939
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2940
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2941
don't need to change.
2943
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2944
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2949
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2950
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2952
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2958
:Released: 2008-11-07
2960
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2961
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2962
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2963
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2964
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2965
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2970
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2971
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2973
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2975
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2976
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
2977
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
2983
:Released: 2008-10-31
2988
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2989
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2991
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2992
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2993
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2994
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2999
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
3000
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
3001
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
3002
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
3003
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
3004
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
3006
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
3007
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3009
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
3010
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
3011
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
3013
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
3014
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
3015
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
3018
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
3019
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
3021
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
3022
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
3024
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
3025
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
3027
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
3028
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
3029
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
3030
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
3031
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
3032
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
3033
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
3034
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
3035
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
3036
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3041
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
3042
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
3044
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
3045
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
3047
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
3048
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
3049
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
3051
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
3052
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
3053
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
3055
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
3056
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
3057
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
3059
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
3060
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
3061
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
3062
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
3063
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
3064
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
3066
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
3067
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
3069
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
3070
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
3072
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
3073
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
3074
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
3075
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
3076
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3078
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3079
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3080
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3081
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3086
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
3091
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
3096
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
3097
configuration of authetication credentials.
3103
:Released: 2008-10-16
3105
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
3106
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
3107
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
3108
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
3109
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
3114
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
3115
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
3120
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
3121
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
3127
:Released: 2008-10-07
3132
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
3133
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
3134
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
3135
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
3136
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3138
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
3139
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
3141
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
3142
server. (Marius Kruger)
3144
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
3145
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
3146
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
3147
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
3148
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
3149
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
3154
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
3155
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
3156
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
3158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
3163
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
3164
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
3165
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
3166
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
3168
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
3169
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
3172
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
3173
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
3176
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
3179
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
3181
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
3182
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
3184
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
3185
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3187
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3188
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3189
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3190
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3191
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3192
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3193
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3194
operations. (Robert Collins)
3196
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3198
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3199
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3200
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3205
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3206
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3207
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3209
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3210
repository now preserves the repository format.
3211
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3213
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3214
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3216
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3219
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3223
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3226
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
3227
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
3228
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
3230
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
3231
is in a different repository than the current one.
3232
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
3234
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
3235
(David Futcher, #242106)
3237
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
3238
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3240
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
3241
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
3242
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
3243
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
3245
* Trivial documentation fix.
3246
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
3248
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3249
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3250
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3251
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3256
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
3261
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
3262
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
3263
to use. (Robert Collins)
3265
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
3266
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
3267
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
3269
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
3270
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
3271
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
3272
they want. (Robert Collins)
3277
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
3278
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
3279
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
3281
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
3282
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
3285
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
3288
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
3289
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
3291
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
3297
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
3298
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
3300
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
3301
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
3302
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
3304
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
3305
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
3306
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
3308
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
3309
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3311
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
3312
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
3314
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
3315
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
3317
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
3318
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
3319
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
3320
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
3328

3330
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
3336
:Released: 2008-09-24
3338
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3339
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3344
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3345
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3346
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3347
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

3356
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3357
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3358
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3359
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3360
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3361
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
3366
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
3367
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
3368
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
3374
:Released: 2008-09-17
3376
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
3377
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
3378
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
3379
connect to the stacked-on location.
3384
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3385
repository now preserves the repository format.
3386
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3388
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
3389
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
3391
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
3394
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3401
:Released: 2008-09-09
3403
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3404
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3405
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3406
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3407
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
3408
it in a future repository format.
3414
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3417
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3418
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3419
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
3421
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3422
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3423
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3428
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3429
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3431
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3436
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3437
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3440
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3441
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3443
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3444
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3447
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3448
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3449
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3450
(John Arbash Meinel)
3452
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3453
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3455
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3456
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3457
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3458
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3459
(John Arbash Meinel)
3461
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3462
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3463
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3464
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3465
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3466
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3467
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3468
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3469
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3470
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3475
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3476
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3478
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3479
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3480
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3482
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3483
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3484
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3486
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3487
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3488
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3489
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3490
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3491
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3493
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3494
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3496
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3497
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3499
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3500
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3501
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3502
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3503
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3504
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3506
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3507
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3509
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3510
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3512
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3513
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3514
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3515
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3517
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3518
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3520
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3521
assuming the host name is ascii.
3522
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3524
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3525
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3530
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3535
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3537
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3538
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3539
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3542
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3543
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3545
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3546
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3548
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3549
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3554
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3555
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3556
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3557
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3559
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3563
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3564
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3565
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3567
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3573
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3574
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3577
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3578
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3579
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3580
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3581
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3583
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3584
is unknown in both source and target.
3585
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3587
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3588
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3589
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3590
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3592
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3593
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3594
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3595
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

3603
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3604
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3605
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3611
:Released: 2008-09-03
3616
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3617
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3618
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3619
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3625
:Released: 2008-08-29
3627
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3628
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3629
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3630
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3631
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3632
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3633
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3634
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3635
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3636
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3637
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3638
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3643
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3644
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3645
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3646
start of the string (causing more copies).
3647
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3648
especially for projects with large files.
3649
(John Arbash Meinel)
3651
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3652
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3653
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3654
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3655
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3657
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3658
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3659
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3660
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3661
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
3670
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3671
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3672
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3673
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3674
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3675
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3676
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3677
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3678
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3684
:Released: 2008-08-19
3689
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3690
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3691
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3692
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3693
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3699
:Released: 2008-08-18
3704
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3705
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3706
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3712
:Released: 2008-08-14
3717
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3718
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3724
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3725
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3726
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3732
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3733
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3734
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3736
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3737
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3738
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3739
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3740
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3741
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3742
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3748
:Released: 2008-08-13
3750
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3756
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3757
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3759
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3760
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3763
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3764
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3765
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3766
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3767
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3769
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3770
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3772
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3773
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3775
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3776
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3778
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3779
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3780
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3781
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3782
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3783
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3789
:Released: 2008-08-06
3791
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3792
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3793
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3794
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3795
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3800
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3801
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3802
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3807
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3808
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3810
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3811
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3813
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3814
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3815
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3817
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3820
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3821
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3822
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3823
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3824
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3825
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3826
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3828
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3829
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3830
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3835
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3836
physical repository boundaries.
3837
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3839
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3840
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3842
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3843
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3846
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3849
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3850
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3851
that Python is running from.
3852
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3854
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3855
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3856
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3858
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3859
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3861
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3862
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3863
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3865
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3866
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3868
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3869
(James Westby, #248448)
3874
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3875
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3876
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3879
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3880
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3883
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3884
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3885
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3886
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3887
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3888
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3891
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3892
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3894
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3895
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3896
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3897
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3898
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3899
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3904
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3905
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3906
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3907
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3908
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3909
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3911
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3912
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3913
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3915
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3918
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3919
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3921
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
3928
:Released: 2008-07-17
3930
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3931
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3932
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3933
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3939
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3940
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3941
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3943
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3944
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3945
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3946
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3947
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3950
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3952
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3953
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3954
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3960
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3961
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3964
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3965
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3966
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3967
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3969
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3970
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3971
(Christophe Troestler)
3973
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3974
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3976
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3977
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3978
faster. The new request method name is
3979
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3984
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3985
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3986
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3987
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3988
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3990
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3991
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3993
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3994
requires a branch to be present.
3995
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3997
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3999
(Martin Pool, #205230)
4001
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
4002
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
4003
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
4004
(Martin Pool, #240161)
4006
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
4007
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
4009
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
4011
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
4013
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
4014
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
4015
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
4016
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
4017
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
4019
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
4020
(Martin Pool, #172870)
4022
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
4023
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
4025
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
4027
(Matt McClure, #209281)
4029
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
4030
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
4032
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
4033
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
4038
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
4041
* Updated developer documentation.
4047
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
4048
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
4050
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
4051
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
4052
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
4053
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
4058
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
4059
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
4060
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
4061
Repository docstring for more details.
4064
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
4065
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
4066
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
4068
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
4069
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
4072
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
4073
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
4074
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
4075
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
4080
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
4081
(Alexander Belchenko)
4083
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
4084
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
4085
containing a given location.
4088
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
4089
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
4090
storage. (Robert Collins)
4092
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
4095
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
4096
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
4103
:Released: 2008-06-10
4105
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
4106
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
4107
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
4113
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
4114
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
4115
reading from the repository.)
4116
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
4118
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4119
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4121
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
4122
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
4125
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
4126
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
4127
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
4129
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
4130
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
4131
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
4133
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
4134
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
4136
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
4137
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
4138
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
4139
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
4144
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
4146
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
4147
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
4148
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
4151
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
4152
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
4157
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4162
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4163
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4168
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4169
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4170
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4171
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4172
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4174
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
4175
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
4180
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
4181
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
4183
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
4184
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
4189
:Released: 2008-06-02
4191
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
4192
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
4193
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
4194
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
4195
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
4196
and future extensions.
4199
Notes When Upgrading
4200
********************
4202
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
4203
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
4204
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
4205
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
4206
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
4207
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
4208
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
4209
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
4214
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
4215
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
4216
(John Arbash Meinel)
4221
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
4222
load. (James Westby)
4227
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
4228
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
4229
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
4230
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4232
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
4233
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
4234
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
4236
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
4237
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
4239
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
4240
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
4241
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
4243
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
4244
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
4245
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
4246
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
4247
step closer to not using full revision history.
4248
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
4253
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
4254
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
4256
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4257
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4259
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
4260
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
4262
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
4263
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
4264
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
4265
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
4267
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
4268
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
4269
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
4270
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
4272
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
4273
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
4274
in use by another process.
4277
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
4278
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
4279
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
4280
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
4282
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
4283
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
4285
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
4286
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
4287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
4289
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
4290
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
4291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
4293
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
4295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
4297
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
4298
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
4300
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
4301
under vim on Mac OS X.
4302
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4304
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
4305
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
4310
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
4311
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
4313
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4314
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4317
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
4318
and about use of Python reprs.
4319
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
4321
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
4326
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
4329
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4330
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4332
* New helper function for splitting test suites
4333
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
4338
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
4339
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
4340
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
4341
(John Arbash Meinel)
4346
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
4347
instead. (Martin Pool)
4349
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
4350
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
4351
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
4352
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
4354
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
4355
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
4356
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
4357
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
4358
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
4360
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
4361
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
4362
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
4363
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
4364
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
4365
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
4367
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
4368
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
4371
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
4372
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
4375
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
4376
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
4377
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
4378
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
4380
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
4381
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
4382
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4384
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
4385
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
4386
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
4387
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
4388
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
4391
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
4392
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
4393
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
4394
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
4397
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4398
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4399
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4400
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4401
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4403
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
4410
:Released: 2008-05-16
4412
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
4413
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
4414
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
4419
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
4420
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
4421
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4426
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4427
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4434
:Released: 2008-05-09
4439
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
4440
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
4441
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
4442
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
4447
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
4448
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
4450
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
4451
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
4453
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
4459
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
4460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
4462
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
4463
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
4465
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
4466
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
4467
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
4469
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4470
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4471
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4473
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
4476
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
4477
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
4479
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
4480
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
4482
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
4483
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
4485
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
4486
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
4488
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
4489
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
4490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
4492
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
4493
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
4495
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4496
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
4498
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4499
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4500
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4501
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
4503
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
4504
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
4507
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
4508
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
4509
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
4511
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4512
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4513
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4514
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4515
every revision each side had in common.
4516
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4518
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
4519
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4521
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
4522
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
4523
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
4524
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
4529
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
4530
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
4531
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
4532
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
4534
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
4536
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
4538
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
4539
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
4544
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
4545
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
4546
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
4548
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
4549
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
4550
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
4551
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
4553
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
4554
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4556
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
4557
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
4558
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
4559
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4561
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
4562
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
4563
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
4564
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4569
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
4570
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
4571
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
4573
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
4575
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
4576
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
4578
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4579
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4581
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
4582
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
4587
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
4588
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
4589
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
4591
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
4592
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
4593
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
4596
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
4597
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4600
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

:Released: 2008-04-28
4609
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4610
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4611
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4612
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4613
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4614
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4615
and faster performance.
4620
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4621
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4622
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4623
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
4629
:Released: 2008-04-21
4634
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4635
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4636
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4638
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
4639
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4641
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4642
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
4644
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4645
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4646
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4647
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4648
every revision each side had in common.
4649
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4655
:Released: 2008-04-11
4660
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
4662
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
4663
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
4665
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
4666
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4667
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4669
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4670
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4671
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4672
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4673
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4674
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4677
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4678
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4679
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4680
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4685
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4687
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4688
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4689
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4691
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4692
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4693
See the User Reference for signature details.
4694
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4696
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4697
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4702
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4703
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4704
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4705
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4707
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4708
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4710
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4711
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4712
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4715
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4718
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4719
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4720
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4722
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4725
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4726
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4728
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4729
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4731
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4732
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4733
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4735
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4736
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4737
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4738
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4739
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4741
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4742
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4744
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4745
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4750
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4751
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4752
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4753
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4754
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4755
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4757
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4758
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4760
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4761
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4762
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4764
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4765
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4767
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4768
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4769
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4770
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4772
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4773
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4774
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4775
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4776
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4778
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4780
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4781
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4783
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4785
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4786
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4788
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4789
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4794
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4796
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4798
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4800
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4805
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4806
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4807
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4809
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4810
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4811
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4812
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4814
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4815
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4816
release. (James Westby)
4818
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4821
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4823
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4824
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4826
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4827
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4829
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4830
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4832
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4833
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4834
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4836
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4837
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4838
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4839
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4841
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4842
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4843
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4844
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4846
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4847
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4848
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4849
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4850
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4851
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4853
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4854
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4855
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4857
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4858
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4860
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4861
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4864
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4865
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4867
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4868
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4870
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4871
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4873
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4874
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4875
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4877
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4878
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4879
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4880
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4881
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4882
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4887
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4888
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4889
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4890
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4892
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4893
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4894
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4895
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4899
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4900
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4903
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4904
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4906
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4908
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4909
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4910
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4915
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4917
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4920
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4921
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4922
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4923
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4924
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4925
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4927
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4928
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4930
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4931
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4932
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4933
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4935
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4936
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4938
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4939
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4989
********************
4991
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4992
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4997
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4998
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4999
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
5000
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
5003
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
5004
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
5005
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
5006
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
5007
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
5008
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
5010
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
5011
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
5012
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
5013
(Alexander Belchenko)
5015
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5017
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
5018
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
5023
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
5024
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
5026
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
5027
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
5033
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
5035
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5037
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
5038
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
5039
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
5041
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
5042
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
5044
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
5045
to. (Daniel Watkins)
5047
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
5048
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
5049
(Alexander Belchenko)
5051
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
5052
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
5053
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
5054
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
5056
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
5059
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
5060
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
5061
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
5062
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
5063
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5068
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
5069
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
5070
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
5071
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
5073
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
5074
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
5076
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
5077
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
5080
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.

(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
5083
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.

(#198793, John Ferlito)
5086
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
5089
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
5090
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
5092
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
5094
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
5096
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
5097
symlinks (James Henstridge)
5099
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
5100
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
5102
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
5103
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
5105
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
5106
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
5108
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
5109
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
5111
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
5112
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
5117
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
5118
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5123
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
5124
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
5125
(Alexander Belchenko)
5130
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
5132
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
5133
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
5139
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
5140
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
5141
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
5143
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
5144
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
5145
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
5146
(Alexander Belchenko)
5148
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
5149
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
5150
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
5151
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
5153
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
5154
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
5155
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.

have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
5162
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
5163
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
5164
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
5166
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
5167
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
5168
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
5169
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
5189
********************
5191
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
5192
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
5193
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
5194
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
5195
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
5201
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
5202
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
5204
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
5205
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
5206
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
5208
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
5209
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
5210
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
5211
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
5212
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
5213
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
5219
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
5220
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5222
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
5223
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
5224
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
5227
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
5228
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
5229
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
5230
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
5231
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
5233
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
5234
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
5235
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
5236
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
5237
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
5238
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
5239
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
5240
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
5245
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
5246
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
5248
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
5249
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5251
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
5252
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5254
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
5255
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
5256
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
5258
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
5259
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
5260
(John Arbash Meinel)
5265
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
5266
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
5268
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
5269
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
5271
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
5272
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
5274
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
5275
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
5276
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
5278
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
5279
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
5280
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
5282
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
5283
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
5285
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
5286
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
5287
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
5288
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
5289
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
5291
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5293
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
5294
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
5297
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
5298
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
5300
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
5301
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
5303
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
5304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
5306
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
5307
more characters which should be considered valid.
5308
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
5310
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
5311
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
5313
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
5314
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
5319
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
5320
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
5322
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
5323
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
5329
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
5330
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
5336
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
5337
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
5338
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
5340
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
5341
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
5342
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
5344
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
5345
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
5346
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
5347
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
5349
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
5351
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
5352
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
5353
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
5354
server. (Robert Collins)
5356
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
5357
operate. (Robert Collins)
5359
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
5360
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
5361
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
5363
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
5364
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
5365
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
5366
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
5368
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
5369
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
5371
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
5372
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
5373
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
5375
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
5376
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
5378
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
5379
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
5381
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
5382
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
5383
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
5384
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

5397
:Released: 2008-01-05
5402
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
5403
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
5404
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
5405
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5407
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
5408
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
5409
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
5410
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
5415
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
5418
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
5421
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
5422
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
5427
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
5430
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
5431
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
5432
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
5434
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
5436
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
5437
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
5438
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
5439
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
5440
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
5442
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
5443
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
5444
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
5446
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
5447
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
5449
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
5452
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
5454
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
5456
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
5459
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
5460
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
5465
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
5466
(Martin Pool, #180208)
5468
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
5469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
5471
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
5474
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
5475
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
5477
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
5478
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
5480
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
5481
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5483
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
5484
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
5486
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
5487
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
5488
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
5490
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
5491
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
5493
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
5494
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
5497
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
5499
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
5500
user:pass embedded in the urls.
5501
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
5503
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
5504
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
5506
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
5509
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
5512
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
5513
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
5515
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
5518
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
5519
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
5522
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
5523
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
5524
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
5529
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
5532
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
5533
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
5534
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
5535
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
5536
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
5537
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
5539
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
5544
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
5547
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
5548
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
5550
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
5552
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
5553
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
5554
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
5557
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
5558
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5560
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
5569
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
5570
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
5571
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
5573
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
5574
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
5577
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
5578
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
5580
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
5581
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5583
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
5584
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5586
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
5587
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
5588
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5590
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
5591
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
5593
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
5594
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5596
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
5597
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
5600
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
5601
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
5603
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
5604
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5617
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
5620
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
5622
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
5623
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.

* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
5636
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
5637
by mail to the mailing list.
5643
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
5645
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
5646
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
5647
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
5648
feedback but also incur more latency.
5649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
5651
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
5652
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
5657
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5659
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
5665
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
5666
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
5667
wraps its output in a StringIO.

:Released: 2007-12-07
5679
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
5681
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
5684
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
5687
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
5688
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
5689
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
5690
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5692
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
5695
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
5696
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
5698
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
5699
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
5700
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
5702
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
5703
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
5704
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
5705
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
5706
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
5707
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
5708
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
5709
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
5710
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
5731
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are

Notes When Upgrading
5754
********************
5756
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5757
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5758
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5759
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5761
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5762
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5764
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5765
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5767
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5768
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5769
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5770
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5771
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5772
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5773
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5774
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5775
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5776
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5777
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5778
from any tree without problems.
5779
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5784
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5785
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5786
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5788
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5789
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5795
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5796
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5797
supported transports.
5800
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5801
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5802
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5804
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5805
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5807
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5808
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5809
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5810
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5812
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5813
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5818
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5819
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5820
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5821
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5823
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5824
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5825
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5826
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5828
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5829
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5831
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5832
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5834
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5835
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5837
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5838
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5844
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5847
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5848
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5851
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5852
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5853
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5854
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5856
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5857
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5858
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5859
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5867
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5868
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5870
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5871
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5873
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5874
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5876
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5879
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
5880
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
5882
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
5883
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
5885
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
5886
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
5888
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5891
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5892
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5894
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5895
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5896
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5898
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5899
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
5901
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5902
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5904
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5905
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5907
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5908
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5910
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5911
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5912
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5913
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5915
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5917
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5918
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5919
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5921
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
5922
(Robert Collins, #161240)
5924
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
5926
(Martin Pool, #164443)
5928
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5929
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5931
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5932
specify a port in urls.
5933
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5935
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5936
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5938
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
5939
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5941
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5942
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5944
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5945
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5947
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5948
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5949
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5951
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5953
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5954
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5956
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5959
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5960
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5962
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5963
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5965
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5966
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5967
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5969
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5970
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5972
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5973
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5974
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5975
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5977
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5978
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5980
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5981
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5982
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5984
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5985
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5987
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5990
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5991
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5996
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5997
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5999
* The return value of
6000
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
6001
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
6002
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
6003
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
6005
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
6008
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
6009
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
6016
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
6017
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
6018
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
6021
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
6022
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
6024
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
6030
:Released: 2007-11-05
6035
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
6041
:Released: 2007-10-29
6046
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
6047
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
6049
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
6050
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
6051
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
6052
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
6053
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
6054
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
6055
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
6056
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
6057
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
6058
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
6059
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
6060
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
6066
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
6067
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
6068
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
6069
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
6070
commands. (Robert Collins)
6072
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
6073
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
6074
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
6077
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
6079
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
6080
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
6082
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
6083
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
6086
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
6087
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
6088
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
6093
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
6094
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6096
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
6097
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
6099
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
6100
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
6101
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
6102
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
6104
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
6107
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
6108
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
6109
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
6110
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
6112
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
6113
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
6115
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
6116
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
6118
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
6119
the contents. (Robert Collins)
6121
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
6122
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
6127
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
6128
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
6130
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
6131
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
6133
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
6134
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
6136
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
6137
(Martin Pool, #63894)
6139
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
6140
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
6145
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
6147
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
6153
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
6154
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
6155
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
6157
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
6158
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
6160
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
6161
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
6163
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
6164
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
6165
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
6166
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
6168
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
6169
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
6170
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
6171
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
6172
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
6174
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
6175
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
6177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
6179
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6181
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
6182
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
6184
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
6185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6187
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6190
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6191
contains a symbolic link.
6192
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6194
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6195
(James Westby, #140615)
6197
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6198
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6201
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6202
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6203
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6205
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6207
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6210
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6212
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6214
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6215
directory to detect leaking tests.
6216
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6218
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6219
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6220
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6222
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6225
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6226
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
6228
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
6234
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
6235
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
6237
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
6238
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
6239
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
6241
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
6242
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
6243
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
6245
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
6246
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
6248
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
6249
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
6251
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
6252
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
6255
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
6256
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
6258
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
6259
class that needs it.
6262
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
6263
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
6265
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
6266
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
6267
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
6269
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
6270
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
6271
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
6274
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
6275
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
6276
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
6277
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
6283
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
6284
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
6285
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
6287
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
6288
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
6289
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
6290
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
6292
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
6293
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
6296
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
6297
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
6298
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
6300
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
6301
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
6302
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
6304
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
6305
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
6307
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
6308
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
6309
to complete. (Robert Collins)
6311
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
6312
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
6314
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
6315
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
6316
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
6318
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
6319
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
6320
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
6322
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
6323
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
6324
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
6325
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
6327
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
6328
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
6329
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
6330
returned. (Robert Collins)
6332
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
6333
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
6335
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
6336
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
6337
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
6338
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
6341
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
6342
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
6347
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
6348
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
6350
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
6351
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
6352
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
6353
makes this behavior available to other users.
6356
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
6357
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
6363
:Released: 2007-09-26
6368
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6369
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6370
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6372
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6374
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
6375
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
6376
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
6377
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
6379
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
6380
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
6387
:Released: 2007-09-11
6389
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
6390
in bzrlib/remote.py.
6396
:Released: 2007-09-11
6401
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6402
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
6403
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
6404
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
6407
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
6408
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
6409
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
6415
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6416
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
6417
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
6420
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
6421
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
6422
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
6424
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
6425
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
6426
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
6428
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
6429
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
6431
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
6432
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
6433
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
6434
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
6435
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
6436
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
6437
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
6438
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
6439
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
6440
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6442
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6443
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6445
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6446
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6447
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6452
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6453
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6455
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6456
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6457
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6459
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6460
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6462
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
6463
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
6465
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
6468
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
6469
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
6471
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
6472
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
6474
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
6475
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6477
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
6478
(Blake Winton, #129299)
6480
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
6482
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
6485
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
6486
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
6487
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
6488
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
6490
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6492
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
6493
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
6496
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
6497
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
6499
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
6500
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
6503
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
6504
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
6506
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
6507
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
6509
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
6510
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
6511
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6512
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6513
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6514
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
6515
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6517
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6518
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
6520
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
6521
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
6523
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
6524
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
6526
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
6527
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
6529
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
6531
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
6533
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
6534
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
6536
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
6537
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
6538
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
6540
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6541
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6542
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6547
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
6548
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6550
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
6553
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
6556
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
6557
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6559
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
6561
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
6562
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
6564
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
6565
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
6567
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
6568
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
6569
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
6570
space). (Robert Collins)
6572
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
6573
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
6576
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
6577
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6579
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
6580
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6582
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6583
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6584
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6585
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6587
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6588
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6589
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6592
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6595
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6596
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6597
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6599
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6600
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6601
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6602
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6603
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6608
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6609
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6611
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6612
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6613
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6614
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6615
affected. (Robert Collins)
6617
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6618
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6619
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6622
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6623
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6628
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6629
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6631
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6632
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6634
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6635
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6637
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6640
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6641
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6646
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6647
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6648
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6649
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6651
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6652
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6654
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6655
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6656
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6657
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6659
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6660
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6661
present. (Robert Collins)
6663
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6664
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6665
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6666
API. (Robert Collins)
6668
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6669
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6672
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6673
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6675
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6676
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6677
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6678
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6679
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6680
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6682
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6683
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6684
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6686
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6687
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6688
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6689
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6692
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6695
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6696
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6697
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6698
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6699
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6700
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6701
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6703
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6704
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6705
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6706
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6708
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6709
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6710
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6711
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6712
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6713
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6715
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6716
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6717
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6719
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6720
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6726
:Released: 2007-08-28
6731
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6732
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6733
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6734
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6735
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6736
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6737
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6738
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6744
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6745
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6746
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6752
:Released: 2007-08-14
6757
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6758
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6759
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6760
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
6761
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
6763
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
6764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6766
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6770
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6771
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6774
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6775
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6778
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6781
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6782
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6784
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6785
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6787
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6788
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6790
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6791
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6793
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6794
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6796
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6802
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6803
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6805
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6806
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6808
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6809
the repository (Robert Collins)
6811
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6812
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6813
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6814
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6815
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6817
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6818
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6820
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6821
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6822
(John Arbash Meinel)
6824
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6825
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6826
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6828
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6829
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6830
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6831
(John Arbash Meinel)
6833
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6834
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6837
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6838
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6840
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6843
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6845
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6847
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6848
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6850
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6851
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6854
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6855
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6856
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6857
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6859
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6860
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6861
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6863
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6864
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6865
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6867
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6868
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6870
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6871
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6872
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6873
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6874
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6875
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6878
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6879
(Alexander Belchenko)
6881
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6882
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6884
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6885
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6887
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6889
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6890
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6895
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6896
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6897
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6898
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6900
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6902
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6905
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6906
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6907
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6908
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6909
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6910
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6915
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6916
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6917
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6918
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6920
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6921
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6922
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6923
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6924
tests have been refactored too.
6927
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6928
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6929
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6933
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6934
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6935
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6937
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6938
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6939
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6940
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6941
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6942
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6943
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6945
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6946
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6947
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6948
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6949
(John Arbash Meinel)
6951
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6952
functionality for testing.
6954
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6956
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6957
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6959
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6961
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6964
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6965
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6967
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6968
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6969
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6971
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6974
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6975
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6977
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6978
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6979
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6980
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6982
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6983
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6985
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6986
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6987
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6989
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6992
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6993
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6994
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6995
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6996
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6997
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6999
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
7000
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
7001
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
7002
many files. (Robert Collins)
7004
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
7005
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
7006
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
7007
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
7012
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
7013
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
7014
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
7016
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
7017
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
7019
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
7020
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
7021
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
7038

7043
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
7044
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
7046
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
7047
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
7048
(James Westby, #122656)
7050
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
7051
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
7053
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
7054
authentication header.
7055
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
7057
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
7059
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
7060
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
7062
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
7064
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
7065
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
7068
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
7069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
7071
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
7072
individually and as part of revision ranges.
7073
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
7075
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
7076
(Martin Pool, #109169)
7078
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
7079
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
7081
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
7082
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
7084
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7086
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
7091
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
7092
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7093
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
7094
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
7095
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
7096
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
7098
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
7099
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
7100
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
7102
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
7105
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
7106
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
7108
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
7109
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
7111
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
7112
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
7114
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
7115
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
7116
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
7117
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
7118
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
7120
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
7121
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
7123
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
7124
can be slow it is useful feedback).
7125
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
7127
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
7128
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
7130
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
7132
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
7133
output. (Aaron Bentley)
7135
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
7136
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
7139
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
7142
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
7143
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
7145
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
7146
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
7148
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
7149
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
7151
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
7153
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
7154
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
7156
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
7162
* Testing cleanups -
7163
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7164
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
7165
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7166
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
7167
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7168
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
7169
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7170
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
7171
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7172
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
7173
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
7174
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
7175
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7176
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
7177
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7178
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
7179
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
7182
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
7184
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
7185
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7186
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7188
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7189
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7191
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7192
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7194
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7196
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7197
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7198
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7199
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7200
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7201
same location. (Robert Collins)
7206
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7208
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7210
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7212
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7215
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7218
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7219
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7220
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7222
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7224
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7225
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7226
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
7228
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
7229
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
7231
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
7232
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
7233
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
7235
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
7236
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
7237
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
7239
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
7240
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
7241
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
7243
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
7244
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
7247
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
7248
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
7250
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
7251
(Alexander Belchenko)
7256
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
7257
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
7258
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
7259
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7261
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
7262
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
7263
testing. (Robert Collins)
7265
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
7266
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
7268
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
7269
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
7270
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
7271
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
7272
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
7273
attribute during the test parameterisation in
7274
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
7276
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
7277
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
7278
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
7279
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
7281
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
7282
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
7284
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
7285
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
7310
********************
7312
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
7313
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7314
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
7315
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
7316
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
7317
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
7318
and unlock() like so::
7320
work_tree.lock_read()
7322
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
7328
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
7329
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
7331
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
7332
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
7333
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
7335
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
7336
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
7337
too. (Robert Collins)
7342
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
7343
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
7346
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
7347
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
7349
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
7350
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
7352
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
7353
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
7354
understanding what changes have occurred
7355
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
7357
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
7358
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
7359
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7361
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
7362
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
7363
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
7364
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
7366
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
7372
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
7373
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7374
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
7375
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
7376
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
7378
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
7379
based on split paths, not just string paths.
7380
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
7382
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
7383
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
7385
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
7387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
7389
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
7390
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
7392
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
7393
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
7395
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
7396
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
7398
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
7399
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
7401
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
7402
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
7404
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
7405
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
7406
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
7411
:Released: 2007-05-07
7416
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
7417
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
7418
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
7419
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
7420
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
7422
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
7423
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
7424
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
7426
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
7427
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
7432
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
7433
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
7434
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
7436
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
7437
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
7438
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
7439
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
7444
:Released: 2007-04-30
7449
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
7450
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7451
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
7452
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
7454
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
7455
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
7456
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
7458
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
7459
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
7461
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
7462
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
7464
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
7465
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
7470
:Released: 2007-04-26
7472
Notes When Upgrading
7473
********************
7475
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
7476
it could be recovered again.
7477
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
7478
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
7479
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
7481
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
7483
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
7484
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
7489
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
7490
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7492
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
7493
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
7494
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
7495
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
7497
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
7498
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
7500
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
7501
tests with names that match that regular expression.
7502
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
7504
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
7505
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
7506
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
7508
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
7509
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
7510
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
7512
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
7513
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
7516
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
7519
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
7520
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
7521
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
7522
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
7524
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
7527
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
7528
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
7529
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
7532
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
7533
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
7535
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
7536
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
7538
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
7539
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
7540
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
7541
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
7544
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
7545
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
7547
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
7548
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7550
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
7551
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
7552
(Robert Collins, #107125).
7554
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
7555
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
7556
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
7558
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
7559
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
7560
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7562
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
7563
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
7564
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
7565
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
7567
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
7568
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
7569
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
7570
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
7572
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
7573
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
7574
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
7575
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
7576
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
7577
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
7578
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
7579
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
7586
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
7587
code paths. (Robert Collins)
7589
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
7590
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
7591
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
7592
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
7593
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7595
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
7596
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
7598
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7599
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7601
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7602
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7604
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7605
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7607
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7608
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7609
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7612
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7613
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7614
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7615
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7616
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7619
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7620
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7621
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7623
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7624
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7627
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7628
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7629
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7632
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7633
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7634
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7635
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7636
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7638
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7639
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7640
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7641
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7643
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7644
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7646
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7647
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7648
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7649
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7650
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7651
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7653
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7654
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7656
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7657
help. (Robert Collins)
7659
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7660
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7662
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7663
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7664
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7665
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7666
(John Arbash Meinel)
7668
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7669
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7670
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7671
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7672
useful. (Robert Collins)
7674
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7680
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7681
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7683
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7684
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7686
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7687
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7688
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7690
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7693
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7694
the file, and does it faster.
7695
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7697
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7698
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7699
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7701
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7702
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7703
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7704
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7706
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7707
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7708
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7709
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7711
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7712
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7714
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7715
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7716
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7717
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7720
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7722
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7723
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7725
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7726
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7728
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7729
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7730
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7731
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7735
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7736
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7741
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7742
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7743
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7745
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7746
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7748
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7749
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7750
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7751
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7752
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7753
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7754
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7755
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7757
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7758
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7759
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7761
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7762
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7763
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7764
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7765
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7767
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7769
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7770
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7771
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7773
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7774
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7780
:Released: 2007-04-01
7785
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7788
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7789
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7795
:Released: 2007-03-26
7800
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7801
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7807
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7808
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7809
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7810
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7811
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7812
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7813
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7814
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7820
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7821
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7822
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7824
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7825
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7828
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7829
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7830
(John Arbash Meinel)
7832
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7833
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7834
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7835
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7836
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7841
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7844
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7845
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7847
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7848
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7850
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7851
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7852
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7854
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7855
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7857
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7858
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7859
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7860
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7861
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7863
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7864
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7865
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7867
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
7876
********************
7878
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7879
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7880
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7885
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7886
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7888
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7889
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7891
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7893
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7894
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7896
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7897
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7902
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7908
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7909
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7910
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7911
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7913
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7914
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7916
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7917
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7919
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7922
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7923
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7929
:Released: 2007-03-07
7934
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7935
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7936
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7937
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7938
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7939
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7941
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7942
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7943
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7944
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7945
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7946
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7948
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7950
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7951
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7952
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7953
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7954
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7955
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7956
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7957
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7962
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7963
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7965
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7966
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7967
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7968
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7970
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7971
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7972
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7973
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7974
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7976
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7979
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7982
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7985
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7986
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7989
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7992
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7993
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7995
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7996
directory. (Martin Pool)
7998
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7999
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
8000
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
8001
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
8003
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
8004
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
8005
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
8006
in docs/configuration.txt.
8008
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
8009
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
8012
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
8013
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
8014
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
8015
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
8016
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
8017
repositories. (Martin Pool)
8019
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
8020
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8022
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
8023
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
8025
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
8031
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
8032
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
8033
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
8034
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
8035
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
8036
(John Arbash Meinel)
8038
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
8039
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
8042
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
8043
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
8044
(John Arbash Meinel)
8046
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
8047
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
8048
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
8049
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
8050
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
8051
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
8053
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
8054
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
8055
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
8057
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
8058
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
8059
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
8060
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
8062
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8064
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
8065
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
8066
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
8067
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
8069
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
8070
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
8071
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
8072
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
8074
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
8075
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
8076
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
8078
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
8079
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
8080
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
8082
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
8083
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
8084
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
8085
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
8087
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
8088
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
8089
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
8091
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
8092
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
8093
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
8095
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
8096
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
8097
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
8098
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
8099
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
8100
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
8101
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
8102
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
8103
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
8110
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
8111
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
8112
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
8114
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
8117
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
8118
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
8119
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
8120
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
8122
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
8123
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
8126
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
8127
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
8129
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
8131
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
8132
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
8133
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
8135
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
8136
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
8138
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
8139
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
8141
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
8142
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
8144
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
8145
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
8147
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
8149
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
8150
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
8155
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
8156
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
8162
:Released: 2007-01-23
8167
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
8172
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
8173
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
8174
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
8176
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
8177
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
8178
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
8184
:Released: 2007-01-16
8189
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
8190
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
8191
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8192
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8194
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
8197
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
8198
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
8199
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8201
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8202
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8204
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8207
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8208
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8209
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8210
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8211
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8212
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8214
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8215
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8216
should enable you to do::
8218
[/home/user/project]
8219
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8220
push_location:policy = appendpath
8222
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8223
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8226
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
8227
for each file. For example::
8229
$ bzr status --short
8235
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
8236
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
8238
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
8240
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
8241
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
8243
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
8248
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
8249
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
8250
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
8251
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
8253
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
8254
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
8255
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
8257
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
8259
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
8260
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
8261
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
8262
(Alexander Belchenko)
8264
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
8267
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
8268
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
8270
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
8275
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
8276
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
8278
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
8279
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
8280
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
8281
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
8282
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
8284
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
8285
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
8287
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
8288
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
8290
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
8292
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
8294
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
8295
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
8296
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
8297
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
8298
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
8300
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
8301
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
8302
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
8303
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
8305
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
8306
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
8308
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
8309
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
8311
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
8312
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
8314
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

8334
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
8336
(Daniel Silverstone)
8338
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
8339
operations are substantially faster.
8340
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
8342
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
8343
tree from some other url. For example:
8344
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
8345
(Daniel Silverstone)
8347
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
8348
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
8349
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
8350
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
8352
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
8355
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
8356
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
8357
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
8358
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
8359
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
8360
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
8365
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
8366
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
8369
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8370
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
8371
(John Arbash Meinel)
8373
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
8374
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
8375
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
8376
(John Arbash Meinel)
8378
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
8379
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
8381
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
8382
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8384
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
8385
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
8391
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
8392
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
8393
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
8395
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
8396
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
8397
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
8398
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
8400
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
8402
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
8403
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
8405
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
8406
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
8407
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
8408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
8410
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
8411
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
8412
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
8414
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
8415
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
8416
them as full references rather than integers.
8417
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
8419
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
8420
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
8422
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
8424
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
8425
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
8427
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
8428
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
8430
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
8431
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
8432
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
8433
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
8435
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
8436
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
8437
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
8439
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
8440
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
8442
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
8443
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
8444
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
8445
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
8446
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)

* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
8452
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

:Released: 2006-10-23
8474
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
8475
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
8476
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
8477
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
8479
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
8480
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
8482
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
8484
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
8485
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
8486
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
8487
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8489
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
8490
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
8491
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
8492
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
8493
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
8498
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
8499
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
8504
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
8505
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
8506
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8508
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
8509
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
8510
(John Arbash Meinel)
8512
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
8513
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
8514
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
8516
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
8517
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
8520
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
8521
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
8522
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8524
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
8525
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
8526
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
8527
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
8528
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
8529
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8531
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
8532
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
8533
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
8536
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
8537
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
8542
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
8543
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
8544
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
8547
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
8548
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
8550
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
8551
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
8552
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
8554
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
8555
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
8557
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
8558
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
8559
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
8560
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
8562
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
8563
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
8565
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
8566
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
8567
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
8569
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
8570
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
8572
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8574
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
8575
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
8581
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
8582
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
8583
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
8584
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
8586
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
8587
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
8588
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
8613
:Released: 2006-09-25
8618
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
8619
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
8620
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
8621
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
8622
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
8623
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
8624
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
8626
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
8627
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
8628
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
8630
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
8632
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
8633
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
8635
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
8636
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
8637
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
8640
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
8641
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
8642
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
8643
(John Arbash Meinel)
8645
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
8646
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
8647
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
8648
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
8651
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
8652
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
8653
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
8654
(John Arbash Meinel)
8659
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
8660
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
8662
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
8664
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
8665
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
8666
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
8668
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
8669
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
8671
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
8672
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
8674
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
8675
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
8677
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
8678
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
8680
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
8682
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
8683
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
8685
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
8686
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
8688
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
8689
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
8691
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
8692
(John Arbash Meinel)
8694
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
8695
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
8696
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
8698
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
8699
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8701
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8702
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8703
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8704
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8706
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8707
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8708
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8710
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8711
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8716
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8721
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8722
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8723
(John Arbash Meinel)
8725
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8726
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8727
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8728
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8730
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8733
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8734
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8735
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8737
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8738
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8740
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8741
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8742
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8744
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8745
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8746
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8747
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8748
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8749
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8750
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8751
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8752
caller to repeat their request.
8753
(John Arbash Meinel)
8755
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8756
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8758
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8759
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8761
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8762
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8763
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8764
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8765
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8766
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8767
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8769
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8770
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8771
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8772
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8773
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8774
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8775
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8776
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8779
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8780
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8781
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8783
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8784
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8786
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8787
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8789
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8790
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8795
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8796
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8798
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8799
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8800
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8802
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8803
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8804
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8809
:Released: 2006-08-29
8813
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8814
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8816
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8817
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8818
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8819
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8820
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8822
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8823
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8824
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8826
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8827
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8829
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8830
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8831
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8836
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8838
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8839
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8840
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8842
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8844
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8846
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8847
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8848
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8849
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8851
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8852
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8853
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8854
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8855
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8857
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8858
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8860
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8861
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8863
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8864
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8866
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8867
in handling of revision properties.
8868
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8870
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8871
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8876
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8877
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8878
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8879
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8880
(John Arbash Meinel)
8882
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8883
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8884
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
8889
:Released: 2006-08-11
8894
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
8895
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
8896
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8897
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8898
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8899
a more conservative list than the old default.
8900
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8901
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8902
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8903
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8905
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8906
to more locations than just branch locations.
8912
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8913
revno:N:branch. For example,
8914
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8915
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8917
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8918
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8919
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8920
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8921
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8922
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8923
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8924
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8927
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8928
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8929
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8932
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8933
(Alexander Belchenko)
8935
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8937
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8940
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8941
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8942
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8943
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8944
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8945
(John Arbash Meinel)
8947
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8948
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8949
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8950
grained analysis of performance.
8951
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8953
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8954
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8956
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8957
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8958
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8959
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8960
file. (Robert Collins).
8962
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8963
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8964
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8966
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8967
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8970
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8971
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8973
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8974
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8975
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8976
the same way you would apply another branch.
8977
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8979
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8980
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8982
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8985
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8988
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8989
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8990
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8992
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8993
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8994
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8996
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8997
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8999
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
9000
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
9001
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
9002
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
9003
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
9005
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
9006
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
9008
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
9009
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
9010
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
9011
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
9012
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
9013
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
9014
branch is as much as 4x faster.
9015
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
9017
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
9018
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
9019
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
9024
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
9026
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
9028
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
9029
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9031
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
9032
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
9034
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
9035
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
9037
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
9039
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
9040
(John Arbash Meinel)
9042
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
9043
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
9045
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
9046
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
9049
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
9050
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
9052
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
9053
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
9055
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
9056
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
9057
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
9058
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
9060
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
9061
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
9063
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
9065
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
9066
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
9068
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
9070
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
9072
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
9073
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
9075
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
9076
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
9078
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
9079
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
9080
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
9082
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
9083
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
9084
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
9086
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
9087
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
9089
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
9090
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
9092
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
9093
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
9095
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
9096
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
9098
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
9099
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
9101
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
9102
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
9103
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
9105
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
9107
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
9108
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
9113
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
9114
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
9115
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
9117
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
9118
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
9120
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
9121
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
9122
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9124
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
9125
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9127
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
9128
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
9131
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
9132
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
9133
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9135
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
9136
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
9137
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9139
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
9140
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
9141
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
9143
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
9144
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
9145
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
9147
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
9148
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
9149
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
9151
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
9152
instead. (Robert Collins)
9154
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
9159
:Released: 2006-05-17
9164
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
9169
:Released: 2006-05-16
9174
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
9175
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
9177
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
9178
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9180
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
9181
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
9182
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
9187
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
9189
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
9190
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
9192
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
9197
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
9198
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
9199
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
9200
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
9205
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
9206
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
9207
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
9212
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
9213
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
9214
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)

Notes When Upgrading
9228
********************
9230
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
9231
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
9232
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
9233
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
9234
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
9235
will keep the same format.
9237
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
9238
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
9239
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
9240
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
9241
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
9243
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
9244
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
9245
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
9246
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
9247
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
9248
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
9249
indicating the current revision of the branch.
9251
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
9252
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
9253
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
9254
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
9255
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
9257
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
9258
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
9259
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
9266
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
9267
convention. Paths now take the form::
9269
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9271
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
9273
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
9274
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
9276
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
9277
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
9278
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
9280
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
9281
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
9282
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
9283
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
9285
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
9286
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
9287
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
9289
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
9291
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
9293
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
9294
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
9297
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
9298
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
9301
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
9303
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
9304
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
9305
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
9308
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
9310
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
9312
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
9315
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
9316
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
9318
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
9319
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
9322
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
9323
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
9326
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
9328
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
9330
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
9331
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
9333
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
9334
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
9335
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
9336
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
9337
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
9338
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
9340
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
9342
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
9343
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
9346
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
9347
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
9349
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
9350
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
9352
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
9354
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
9355
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
9356
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
9357
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
9358
specification by Martin Pool.
9359
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
9361
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
9364
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
9365
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9367
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
9368
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
9369
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
9371
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
9373
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
9374
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
9380
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
9381
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9383
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
9385
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
9387
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
9390
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
9391
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
9392
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
9393
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
9398
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
9399
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
9400
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
9401
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9403
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
9404
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
9405
tried. (Martin Pool)
9407
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
9410
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
9412
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
9413
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
9414
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
9416
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
9417
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
9419
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
9420
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
9421
paths. (Robert Collins)
9423
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
9424
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
9425
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
9427
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
9428
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
9429
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
9431
* Progress bars are now nested - see
9432
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
9433
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9435
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
9438
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
9441
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
9443
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
9445
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
9446
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
9447
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
9450
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
9451
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
9453
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
9454
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
9455
check. (Robert Collins)
9457
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
9458
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
9463
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
9464
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
9466
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
9467
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
9468
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
9469
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
9471
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
9472
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
9473
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
9474
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
9475
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
9477
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
9478
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
9479
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
9481
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
9483
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
9484
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
9489
:Released: 2006-01-09
9494
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
9495
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
9497
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9498
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
9499
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
9502
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
9503
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
9505
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
9506
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
9507
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
9508
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
9509
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
9511
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
9512
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
9513
used. (Robert Collins)
9515
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
9516
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
9519
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
9520
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
9521
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
9523
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
9526
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
9527
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
9532
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
9533
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
9535
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
9537
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
9539
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
9540
tree. (Robert Collins)
9542
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9543
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
9544
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
9547
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
9550
* Tweaks to short log printing
9552
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
9555
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
9556
occurs. (Martin Pool)
9558
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
9559
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
9561
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
9562
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
9564
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
9565
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
9566
settings. (Magnus Therning)
9568
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
9569
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9571
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
9572
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
9575
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
9576
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
9578
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
9579
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
9581
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
9582
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
9584
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
9587
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
9588
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
9590
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
9591
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
9593
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
9594
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
9595
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
9600
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
9602
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9604
* Error when run with -OO
9606
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
9609
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
9611
* Change status to 3 for all errors
9613
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
9614
ignored by diff and status
9616
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
9617
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
9619
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
9621
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
9623
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
9624
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
9626
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
9627
email address. (Marien Zwart)
9629
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
9632
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
9633
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9635
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9637
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9638
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9640
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9643
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9644
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9646
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9651
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9652
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9654
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9656
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9658
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9660
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9661
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9662
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9664
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9666
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9667
(John Arbash Meinel)
9669
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9671
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9672
If adding a new test script please add that to
9673
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9675
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9676
imported. (Martin Pool)
9678
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9679
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9680
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9681
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9682
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9685
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9686
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9687
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9689
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9690
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9691
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9693
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9694
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9695
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9696
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9697
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9700
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9701
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9707
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9708
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9710
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9711
function. (Robert Collins)
9713
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9714
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9715
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9717
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9718
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9721
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9722
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9723
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9724
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9725
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9726
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9727
version. (Robert Collins)
9729
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9730
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9732
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9733
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9734
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9735
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9736
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9737
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9739
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9742
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9752
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9754
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9756
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9759
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9760
query method. (Robert Collins)
9762
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9765
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9768
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9771
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9772
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9773
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9774
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9776
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9777
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9778
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9779
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9781
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9782
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9787
:Released: 2005-10-28
9792
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9795
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9799
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9800
a separator, not ':'.
9803
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9804
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9805
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9807
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9808
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9811
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9812
has been added that suppresses all output.
9814
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9817
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9818
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9820
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9821
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9823
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9824
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9826
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9827
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9828
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9829
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9831
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9833
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9834
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9836
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9837
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9839
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9840
output directory, if one was supplied.
9842
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9843
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9844
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9845
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9847
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9849
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9850
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9852
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9853
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9854
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9856
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9857
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9859
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9862
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9864
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9869
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9870
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9871
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9873
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9874
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9875
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9877
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9878
is given. (Martin Pool)
9880
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9881
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9882
file. (Robert Collins)
9884
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9890
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9891
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9892
representation. (Martin Pool).
9894
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9895
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9896
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9898
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9901
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9902
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9905
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9906
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9907
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9908
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9909
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9911
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9912
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9913
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9914
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9915
python path. (Robert Collins)
9917
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9918
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9919
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9920
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9922
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9923
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9925
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9926
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9929
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9930
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9931
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9933
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9934
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9935
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9937
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9938
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9940
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9941
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9942
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9945
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9946
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9947
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9948
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9951
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9954
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9955
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9958
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9959
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9960
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9962
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9963
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9964
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9966
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9967
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9968
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9970
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9971
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9973
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9974
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9975
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9976
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9977
caller. (Robert Collins)
9979
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9980
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9983
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9984
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9987
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9989
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9990
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9995
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9996
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9998
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9999
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

:Released: 2005-10-12
10010
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
10011
allow directories to be listed.
10013
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
10014
upgrading branch format.
10019
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
10025
:Released: 2005-10-11
10030
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
10031
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
10032
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
10033
high-latency connections.
10038
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
10041
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10042
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
10044
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
10045
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
10046
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
10047
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10049
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
10050
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
10052
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
10053
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
10055
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
10056
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
10057
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10059
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
10060
for files with only a change to their executable status.
10061
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
10064
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
10065
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
10067
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
10068
different partial views of history.
10070
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
10071
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
10076
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
10077
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
10078
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10080
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
10081
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
10084
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
10085
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
10087
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
10090
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
10091
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
10093
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
10094
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
10095
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
10096
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10098
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
10100
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
10101
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
10104
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
10105
Contributed by Robert Collins.
10107
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
10108
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
10109
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
10115
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
10116
for your viewing pleasure.
10118
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
10119
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
10121
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
10122
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
10123
handling of such circumstances.
10125
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
10126
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
10127
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
10129
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
10131
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
10132
we call them revisions not patches.
10134
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
10135
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
10137
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
10138
giving the revision *of that file*.
10140
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
10141
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
10142
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
10147
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
10148
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
10150
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
10151
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
10157
:Released: 2005-09-23
10162
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
10164
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
10167
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
10169
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
10171
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
10172
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10177
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
10178
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
10180
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
10181
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
10182
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
10183
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
10186
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
10187
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10192
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
10194
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
10195
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
10201
:Released: 2005-09-20
10207
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
10208
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
10209
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
10210
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
10213
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
10216
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
10217
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
10218
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
10219
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
10220
for the operating system is still tried.
10222
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
10223
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
10224
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
10230
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
10235
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
10237
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
10240
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

10260
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
10261
help with intelligent shell completion.
10263
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
10269
* Much better merge support.
10271
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
10272
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
10279
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
10280
mention revisions that are not present.
10282
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
10284
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
10286
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
10287
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
10293
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
10295
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
10296
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
10303
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
10304
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

:Released: 2005-08-18
10317
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
10318
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
10320
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10322
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
10323
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
10325
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
10328
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
10330
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
10333
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
10334
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
10336
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
10337
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
10338
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
10344
* Faster working tree operations.
10350
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
10351
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
10352
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
10353
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
10355
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
10356
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
10357
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
10358
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
10359
standard plugins directory.
10361
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
10362
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
10363
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
10364
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
10366
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
10367
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
10369
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
10372
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
10373
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
10374
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
10376
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
10377
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
10379
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
10380
line options must come before the command name because they
10381
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
10382
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
10385
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
10387
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
10388
is available with ``--short``.
10394
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
10400
:Released: 2005-06-15
10405
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
10406
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10408
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
10409
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
10410
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
10411
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
10413
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
10414
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
10415
with the ``--forward`` option.
10417
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
10418
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
10425
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
10426
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
10428
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10430
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
10431
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
10433
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
10435
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
10436
either read or write mode.
10438
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
10440
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
10441
affected that file.
10443
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
10445
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
10446
suggested by LarstiQ.
10448
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
10449
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
10451
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
10454
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
10455
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
10457
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
10458
haven't changed since the previous time.
10460
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
10461
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
10463
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
10465
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
10467
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
10468
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
10470
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
10471
options through to an external GNU diff.
10473
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
10476
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
10483
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
10484
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
10486
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
10493
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
10494
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
10497
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
10498
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
10500
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
10501
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
10503
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
10504
under a different version.
10506
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
10512
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
10514
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
10515
Scott James Remnant.
10517
* Better help messages for many commands.
10519
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
10520
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
10522
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
10523
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
10525
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
10527
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
10529
* New AtomicFile class.
10531
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
10537
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
10538
2.4 is now only recommended.

* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
10550
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
10552
* More default ignore patterns.
10554
