12
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
15
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
16
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
17
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
21
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
22
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
26
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
27
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
30
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
31
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
33
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
34
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
37
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
38
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
39
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
42
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
43
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
44
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
45
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
48
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
49
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
50
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
51
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
52
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
53
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
54
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
55
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
56
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
57
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
61
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
62
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
64
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
65
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
66
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
68
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
69
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
70
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
72
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
73
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
74
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
75
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
76
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
77
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
79
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
80
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
82
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
83
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
85
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
86
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
87
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
88
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
89
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
90
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
92
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
93
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
95
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
96
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
98
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
99
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
100
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
101
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
103
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
104
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
106
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
107
assuming the host name is ascii.
108
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
110
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
111
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
115
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
119
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
121
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
122
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
123
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
126
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
127
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
129
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
130
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
132
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
133
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
137
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
138
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
139
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
140
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
142
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
146
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
147
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
148
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
150
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
155
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
156
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
159
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
160
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
161
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
162
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
163
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
165
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
166
is unknown in both source and target.
167
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
169
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
170
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
171
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
172
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
174
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
175
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
176
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
177
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6
.. contents:: List of Releases
15
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
16
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
17
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
18
into ``rich-root`` repositories from ``2a``. The Upgrade guide
19
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
21
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
22
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
23
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
24
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
29
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
30
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
35
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
36
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
37
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
39
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
40
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
42
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
43
(Martin Pool, #286871)
45
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
46
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
47
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
52
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
53
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
54
(Martin Pool, #409137)
56
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
57
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
58
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
59
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
61
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
63
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
64
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
66
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
67
(Robert Collins, #305006)
69
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the the iter_changes
70
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
71
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
73
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
74
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
75
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
76
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
77
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
78
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
83
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
89
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
90
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
91
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
96
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
97
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
103
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
104
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
106
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
107
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
108
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
116
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
117
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
118
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
119
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
120
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
128
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
129
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
130
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
131
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
132
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
134
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
137
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
138
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
140
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
141
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
143
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
144
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
145
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
146
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
148
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
149
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
150
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
152
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
153
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
155
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
156
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
157
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
158
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
163
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
164
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
165
(Martin Pool, #409137)
167
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
168
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
169
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
170
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
171
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
173
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
174
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
175
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
187
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
188
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
189
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
190
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
191
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
192
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
194
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
195
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
196
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
197
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
199
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
200
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
201
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
202
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
205
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
206
protocols. (Robert Collins)
208
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
209
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
210
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
211
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
217
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
218
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
227
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
228
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
229
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
230
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
231
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
232
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
234
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
235
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
236
or until the following stable release.
242
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
243
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
245
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
246
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
247
(Martin Pool, #391411)
252
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
253
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
254
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
256
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
257
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
258
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
259
(Martin Pool, #123688)
261
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
262
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
263
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
264
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
266
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
267
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
269
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
270
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
271
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
272
(Robert Collins, #282402)
274
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
275
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
277
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
278
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
280
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
281
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
282
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
283
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
284
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
286
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
287
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
288
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
290
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
291
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
292
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
293
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
294
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
296
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
297
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
299
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
300
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
301
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
303
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
304
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
305
(Martin Pool, #408201)
307
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
308
(Martin Pool, #403523)
310
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
311
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
312
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
314
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
315
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
317
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
318
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
320
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
321
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
323
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
324
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
325
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
327
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
328
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
329
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
331
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
333
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
334
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
336
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
337
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
338
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
339
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
340
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
341
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
343
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
344
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
345
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
347
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
348
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
349
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
350
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
352
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
353
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
354
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
355
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
356
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
358
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
359
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
360
(Robert Collins, #187207)
365
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
368
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
369
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
370
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
371
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
373
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
374
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
380
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
385
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
386
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
387
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
388
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
389
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
390
passwords. (Martin Pool)
392
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
395
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
398
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
402
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
403
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
408
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
409
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
410
paths. (Robert Collins)
412
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
413
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
415
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
416
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
417
disk. (Robert Collins)
419
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
422
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
423
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
424
(Alexander Belchenko)
430
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
431
(Martin Pool, #409684)
433
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
434
(Martin Pool, #408199)
436
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
437
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
438
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
439
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
440
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
441
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
451
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
452
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
455
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
456
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
457
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
458
annoying progress bar artifacts.
461
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
462
*********************************
464
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
465
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
466
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
468
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
469
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
470
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
472
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
473
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
479
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
480
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
481
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
482
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
488
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
489
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
490
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
491
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
493
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
494
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
495
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
497
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
498
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
499
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
501
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
503
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
504
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
505
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
506
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
512
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
513
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
515
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
516
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
517
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
518
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
520
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
521
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
523
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
524
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
525
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
527
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
528
(Martin Pool, #321935)
530
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
531
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
533
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
534
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
536
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
537
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
538
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
540
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
543
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
544
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
546
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
547
of a remote repository.
548
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
550
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
551
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
554
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
556
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
558
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
559
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
561
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
562
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
564
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
565
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
566
(Martin Pool, #339385)
568
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
569
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
570
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
571
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
574
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
575
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
576
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
578
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
579
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
580
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
581
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
582
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
583
(Robert Collins, #376243)
585
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
586
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
587
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
588
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
589
activity display respectively.
590
(Martin Pool, #340347)
592
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
593
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
595
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
598
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
599
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
605
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
606
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
607
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
608
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
610
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
611
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
612
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
613
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
616
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
617
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
619
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
620
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
621
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
622
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
623
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
624
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
626
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
627
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
628
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
629
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
631
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
632
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
633
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
637
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
638
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
639
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
640
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
646
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
647
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
648
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
649
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
651
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
652
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
653
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
655
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
658
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
659
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
661
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
662
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
663
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
665
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
666
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
667
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
668
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
670
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
676
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
677
formatting in the user reference.
678
(Martin Pool, #249908)
680
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
686
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
689
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
690
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
691
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

695
#####################
697
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
698
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
699
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
702
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
703
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
704
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
706
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
707
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
712
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
713
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
715
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
716
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
717
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
719
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
720
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
721
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
722
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
723
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
724
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
725
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
727
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
728
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
729
converted data. (Robert Collins)
731
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
732
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
733
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
735
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
736
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
737
that. (Robert Collins)
739
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
740
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
741
repository. (Robert Collins)
743
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
744
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
745
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
746
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

bzr 1.16 "It's yesterday in California" 2009-06-18
751
##################################################
752
:Codename: yesterday-in-california
756
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
757
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
758
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
759
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
761
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
762
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
763
bug fixes and improvements.
766
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
767
*********************************
769
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
770
2a can work correctly.
771
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
773
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
774
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
775
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
781
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
782
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
789
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
790
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
791
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
792
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
793
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
794
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
797
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
798
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
799
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
800
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
802
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
803
and more concisely repacks the full history.
805
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
806
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
808
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
809
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
810
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
812
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
813
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
819
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
820
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
821
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
823
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
824
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
825
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
826
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
827
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
829
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
830
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
831
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
832
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
834
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
835
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
841
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
842
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
843
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
844
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
850
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
851
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
853
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
854
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
856
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
857
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
858
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
860
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
861
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
863
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
864
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
865
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
867
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
868
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
869
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
872
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
873
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
875
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
876
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
878
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
879
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
881
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
882
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
883
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
884
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
885
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
886
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
888
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
890
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
891
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
893
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
894
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
896
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
897
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
898
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
899
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
900
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
902
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
903
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
904
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
905
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
910
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
911
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
917
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
919
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
920
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
921
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
923
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
924
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
925
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
927
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
928
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
930
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
931
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
936
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
937
repositories. (Martin Pool)
942
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
943
(Martin Pool, #386180)
945
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
947
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
949
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
958
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
959
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
960
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
961
revisions introduce the exact same line.
963
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
964
*****************************
966
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
967
(Alexander Belchenko)
969
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
970
*********************************
972
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
973
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
974
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
975
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
977
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
978
*********************************
985
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
986
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
987
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
988
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
993
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
994
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
997
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
998
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
999
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1000
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1002
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1003
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1004
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1005
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1007
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1008
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1011
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1012
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1013
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1018
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1019
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1021
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1022
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1024
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1025
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1026
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1028
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1033
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1034
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1036
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1038
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1039
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1041
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1042
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1044
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1045
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1047
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1048
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1049
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1050
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1052
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1053
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1055
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1056
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1058
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1059
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1061
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
1062
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1064
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
1065
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1067
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1070
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1071
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1073
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1074
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1075
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1076
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1077
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1078
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1079
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1080
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1081
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1082
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1083
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1084
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1085
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1086
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1088
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1089
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1090
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1092
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1093
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1101
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1102
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1103
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1105
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1106
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1107
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1108
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1109
(Alexander Belchenko)
1114
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1115
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1116
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1118
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1119
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1122
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1123
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1124
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1125
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1126
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1128
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1129
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1130
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1132
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1133
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1134
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1135
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1137
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1138
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1139
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1141
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1142
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1144
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1145
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1146
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1147
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1149
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1150
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1151
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1153
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1154
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1156
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1157
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1158
branches. (Robert Collins)
1160
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1161
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1163
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1168
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1169
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
1220
********************
1222
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
1223
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
1224
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
1225
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
1226
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1228
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1229
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1230
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1232
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1233
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1234
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1235
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1236
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1241
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1242
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1243
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1244
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1245
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1248
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1251
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1252
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1254
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1255
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1256
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1257
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1258
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1260
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1261
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1263
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1266
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1267
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1268
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1269
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1272
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1273
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1274
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1275
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1276
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1278
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1279
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1282
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1288
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1289
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1290
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1292
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1293
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1294
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1295
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1296
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1298
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1299
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1302
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1303
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1304
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1306
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1309
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1312
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1313
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1315
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1316
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1318
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1319
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1321
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1322
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1325
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1326
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1327
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1329
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1330
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1331
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1334
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1335
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1336
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1337
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1339
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1340
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1341
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1342
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1343
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1344
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1345
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1346
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1347
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1349
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1355
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1356
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1357
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1358
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1359
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1360
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1361
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1363
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1364
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1366
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1367
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1368
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1369
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1371
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1372
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1374
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1376
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1379
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1380
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1381
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1383
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1384
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1386
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1387
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1389
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1390
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1391
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1393
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1394
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1395
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1396
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1398
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1400
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1401
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1403
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1404
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1405
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1406
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1407
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1409
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1410
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1411
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1412
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1413
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1414
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1415
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1417
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1418
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1420
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1421
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1424
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1425
(James Westby, #341558)
1427
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1428
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1430
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1431
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1436
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1438
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1440
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1441
(James Westby, #336998)
1446
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1449
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1450
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1453
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1454
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1457
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1458
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1459
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1461
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1462
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1463
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1465
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1466
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1467
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1468
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1471
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1472
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1475
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1478
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1479
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1481
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1482
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1483
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1484
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1486
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1487
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1488
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1493
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1494
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1495
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1496
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1497
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1499
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1502
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1503
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1504
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1505
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1511
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1512
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1514
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1515
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1517
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1518
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1519
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1521
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1522
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1523
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1524
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1526
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1527
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1528
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1529
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1531
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1532
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1533
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1535
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1536
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1537
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1539
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1540
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1541
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1543
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1544
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1547
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1548
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1549
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1551
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1552
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1554
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1555
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1556
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1558
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1559
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1562
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1563
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1564
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1566
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1567
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1568
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1569
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1570
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1572
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1573
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1574
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1575
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1577
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1578
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1579
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1580
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1582
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1583
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1584
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1586
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1587
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1590
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1591
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1592
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1594
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1595
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1596
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1597
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1598
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1600
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1601
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1602
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1605
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1606
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1607
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1608
desired. (Robert Collins)
1610
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1611
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1612
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1613
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1615
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1616
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1617
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
1634
*****************************
1636
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1637
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1638
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1639
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1640
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1641
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1647
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1648
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1649
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1651
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1652
********************************
1654
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1655
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1656
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1661
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1662
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1664
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1665
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1667
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1668
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1670
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1672
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1673
*********************************
1675
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1676
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1677
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1679
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1680
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1682
Compatibility Breaks
1683
********************
1685
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1686
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1687
command may need to be adjusted.
1688
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1693
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1694
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1695
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1697
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1700
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1701
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1702
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1705
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1706
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1708
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1709
(John Arbash Meinel)
1711
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1712
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1714
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1716
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1717
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1720
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1726
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1727
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1728
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1729
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1730
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1731
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1732
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1733
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1736
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1737
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1739
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1740
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1741
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1743
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1744
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1746
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1747
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1748
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1751
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1752
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1753
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1755
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1756
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1757
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1758
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1760
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1763
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1764
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1766
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1767
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1769
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1770
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1771
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1773
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1778
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1779
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1781
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1782
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1783
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1785
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1786
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1789
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1790
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1792
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1793
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1796
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1797
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1798
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1800
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1801
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1803
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1804
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1806
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1807
(James Westby, #174539)
1809
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1810
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1812
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1813
error branching from old repositories.
1814
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1816
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1817
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1819
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1820
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1821
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1822
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1824
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1825
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1828
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1829
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1831
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1832
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1834
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1835
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1836
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1838
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1839
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1841
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1842
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1847
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1848
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1849
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1852
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1853
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1855
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1856
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1861
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1862
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1863
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1864
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1865
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1867
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1868
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1870
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1871
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1872
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1873
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1874
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1875
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1877
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1878
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1880
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1881
"author" argument being deprecated.
1883
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1885
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1886
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1887
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1888
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1890
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1891
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1892
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1894
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1895
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1896
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1898
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1899
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1901
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1902
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1903
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1904
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1909
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1910
free of virtual file system methods.
1911
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1913
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1914
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1915
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1917
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1918
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1919
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1920
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1921
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1922
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1924
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1926
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1927
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1929
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1930
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1931
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1932
stream the operation.
1933
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1935
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1936
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1938
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1939
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1940
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1941
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1942
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1944
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1945
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1947
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1948
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1949
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1951
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1952
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1955
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1958
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1959
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1960
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1962
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1963
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1964
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1966
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1967
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1968
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1970
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1971
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1972
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1974
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1975
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1976
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1977
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1978
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1980
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1981
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1982
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1983
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1984
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1985
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1987
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1988
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1989
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1990
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1991
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1993
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1994
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1996
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1997
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1999
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2000
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2001
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2002
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2003
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2005
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2006
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

2017
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2018
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2019
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2020
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2021
by showing the rate of network IO.

Changes from RC1 to Final
2024
*************************
2026
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2027
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2029
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2030
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2032
Compatibility Breaks
2033
********************
2035
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2036
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2037
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2038
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2040
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2041
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2042
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2045
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2046
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2047
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2048
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2050
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2051
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2052
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2055
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2060
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2061
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2062
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2065
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2066
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2067
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2069
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2070
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2071
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2072
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2073
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2074
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2075
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2076
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2077
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2083
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2086
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2089
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2090
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2091
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2093
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2094
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2095
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2096
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2097
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2099
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2100
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2102
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2103
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2104
level for better precision.
2107
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2108
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2110
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2111
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2112
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2114
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2115
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2116
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2119
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2120
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2121
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2126
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2128
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2130
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2131
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2132
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2134
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2135
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2136
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2137
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2138
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2139
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2141
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2142
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2144
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2145
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2147
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2148
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2149
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2151
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2152
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2153
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2156
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2157
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2159
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2160
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2161
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2162
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2164
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2165
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2167
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2169
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2174
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2179
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2180
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2183
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2184
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2186
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2187
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2189
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2190
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2192
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2193
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2194
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2195
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2197
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2198
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2199
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2204
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2205
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2206
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2207
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2208
compile buffers, are such an example).
2211
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2212
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2215
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2216
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2217
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2220
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2221
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2223
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2224
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
2231
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2232
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2233
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2234
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2235
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2237
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2238
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2241
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2242
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2247
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2250
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

2256
#################################
2261
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2262
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2267
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2268
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2270
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2271
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2272
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2273
implement other plugins.
2276
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2282
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2283
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2285
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2286
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2288
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2289
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2290
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2291
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2294
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2295
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2296
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2297
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2298
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2300
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2301
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2302
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2303
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2304
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2309
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2310
control directory. (#139691)
2312
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2313
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2315
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2316
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2318
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2319
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2320
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2322
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2323
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2325
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2326
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2327
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2329
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2330
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2332
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2335
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2336
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2337
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2339
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2340
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2342
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2343
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2344
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2346
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2347
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2348
in the appropriate sections.
2349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2351
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2352
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2353
(John Arbash meinel)
2355
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2356
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2358
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2359
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2361
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2362
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2364
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2365
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2366
work better with how it splits its requests.
2367
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2369
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2370
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2371
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2373
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2376
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2378
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2379
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2381
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2387
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2388
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2389
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2395
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2396
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2397
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2398
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2400
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2401
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2403
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2404
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2405
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2406
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2408
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2409
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2410
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2411
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2416
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2417
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2418
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2420
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2421
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2422
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2423
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2425
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2426
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2427
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2433
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2434
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2435
(John Arbash Meinel)
2437
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2438
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2439
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2440
(John Arbash Meinel)
2442
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2443
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2444
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2445
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2447
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2448
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2449
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2451
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2452
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2453
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2454
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2456
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2457
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2458
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2459
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2460
(John Arbash Meinel)
2462
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2463
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2465
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2466
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2467
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2469
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2470
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2471
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2472
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2474
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2475
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2476
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2477
(John Arbash Meinel)
2479
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2480
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2481
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2482
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2483
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2484
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2485
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2487
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2488
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2495
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2496
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2497
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2498
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2501
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2506
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2507
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2508
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2509
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2511
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2512
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2513
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2514
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2515
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
2518

######################
2521
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2522
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2523
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2524
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2525
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2530
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2531
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2533
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2539
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2540
history just to set the last revision info.
2541
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2543
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2544
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2545
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2546
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2548
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2549
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2550
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2551
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2552
(John Arbash Meinel)
2554
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2555
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2557
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2558
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2559
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2560
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2561
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2563
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2564
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2565
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2566
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2571
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2572
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2574
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2575
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2577
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2578
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2579
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2580
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2582
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2583
starting with a dotted revno.
2584
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2586
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2587
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2588
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2590
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2591
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2592
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2594
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2595
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2596
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2598
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2599
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2600
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2601
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2603
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2604
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2605
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2607
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2608
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2613
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2614
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2615
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2616
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2618
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2619
have changed incompatibly.
2621
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2622
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2623
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2624
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2625
don't need to change.
2627
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2628
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2633
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2634
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2636
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2642
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2643
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2644
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2645
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2646
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2647
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2652
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2653
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2655
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2657
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2658
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
2668
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2669
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2671
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2672
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2673
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2674
information. (John Arbash Meinel)

* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2680
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2681
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2682
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2683
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2684
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2686
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2687
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2689
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2690
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2691
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2693
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2694
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2695
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2698
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2699
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2701
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2702
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2704
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2705
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2707
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2708
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2709
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2710
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2711
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2712
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2713
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2714
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2715
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2716
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2721
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2722
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2724
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2725
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2727
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2728
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2729
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2731
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2732
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2733
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2735
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2736
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2737
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2739
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2740
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2741
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2742
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2743
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2744
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2746
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2747
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2749
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2750
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2752
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2753
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2754
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2755
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2756
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2758
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2759
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2760
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2761
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2766
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2771
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2776
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2777
configuration of authetication credentials.
2783
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2784
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2785
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2786
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2787
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2792
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2793
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2798
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2799
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
2802
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07

#####################
2808
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2809
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2810
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2811
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2812
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2814
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2815
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2817
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2818
server. (Marius Kruger)
2820
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2821
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2822
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2823
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2824
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2825
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2830
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2831
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2832
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2834
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2839
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2840
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2841
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2842
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2844
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2845
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2848
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2849
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2852
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2855
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2857
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2858
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2860
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2861
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2863
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2864
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2865
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2866
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2867
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2868
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2869
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2870
operations. (Robert Collins)
2872
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2874
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2875
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2876
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2881
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2882
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2883
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2885
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2886
repository now preserves the repository format.
2887
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2889
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2890
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2892
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2895
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2897
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2899
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2902
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2903
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2904
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2906
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2907
is in a different repository than the current one.
2908
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
2910
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2911
(David Futcher, #242106)
2913
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2914
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2916
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2917
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2918
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2919
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2921
* Trivial documentation fix.
2922
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2924
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2925
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2926
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2927
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2932
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2937
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2938
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2939
to use. (Robert Collins)
2941
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2942
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2943
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2945
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2946
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2947
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2948
they want. (Robert Collins)
2953
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2954
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2955
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2957
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2958
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2961
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2964
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2965
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2967
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2973
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2974
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2976
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2977
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2978
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2980
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2981
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2982
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2984
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2985
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2987
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2988
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2990
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2991
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2993
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2994
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2995
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2996
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

3010
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3011
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3016
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3017
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3018
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3019
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
3020
(John Arbash Meinel)
3026
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3027
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3028
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3029
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3030
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3031
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
3036
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization

#####################
3044
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
3045
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
3046
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
3047
connect to the stacked-on location.
3052
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3053
repository now preserves the repository format.
3054
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3056
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
3057
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
3059
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
3062
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
3067
#####################
3069
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3070
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3071
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3072
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3073
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
3074
it in a future repository format.
3080
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3083
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3084
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3085
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
3087
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3088
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3089
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3094
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3095
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3097
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3102
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3103
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3106
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3107
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3109
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3110
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3113
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3114
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3115
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3116
(John Arbash Meinel)
3118
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3119
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3121
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3122
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3123
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3124
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3125
(John Arbash Meinel)
3127
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3128
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3129
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3130
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3131
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3132
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3133
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3134
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3135
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3136
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3141
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3142
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3144
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3145
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3146
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3148
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3149
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3150
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3152
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3153
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3154
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3155
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3156
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3157
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3159
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3160
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3162
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3163
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3165
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3166
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3167
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3168
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3169
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3170
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3172
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3173
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3175
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3176
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3178
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3179
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3180
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3181
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3183
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3184
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3186
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3187
assuming the host name is ascii.
3188
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3190
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3191
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3196
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3201
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3203
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3204
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3205
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3208
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3209
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3211
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3212
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3214
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3215
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3220
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3221
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3222
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3223
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3225
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3229
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3230
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3231
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3233
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3239
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3240
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3243
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3244
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3245
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3246
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3247
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3249
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3250
is unknown in both source and target.
3251
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3253
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3254
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3255
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3256
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3258
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3259
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3260
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3261
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

3267
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
184
3268
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1465
4599
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1466
4600
features have been added.

---------------------

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1480
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1481
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1485
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1486
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1487
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1488
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1491
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1492
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1493
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1494
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1495
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1496
(Alexander Belchenko)
1498
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1499
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1500
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1501
(Alexander Belchenko)
1503
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1505
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1506
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1510
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1511
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1513
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1514
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1519
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1521
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1523
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1524
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1525
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1527
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1528
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1530
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1531
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1533
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1534
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1535
(Alexander Belchenko)
1537
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1538
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1539
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1540
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1542
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1545
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1546
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1547
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1548
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1549
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1553
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1554
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1555
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1556
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1558
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1559
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1561
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1562
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1564
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1565
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1566
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1568
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1569
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1571
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1574
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1575
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1577
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1579
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1581
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1582
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1584
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1585
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1587
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1588
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1590
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1591
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1593
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1594
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1596
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1597
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1601
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1602
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1606
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1607
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1608
(Alexander Belchenko)
1612
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1614
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1615
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1620
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1621
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1622
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1624
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1625
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1626
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1627
(Alexander Belchenko)
1629
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1630
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1631
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1632
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1634
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1635
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1636
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1639
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1640
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1641
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1643
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1644
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1645
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1647
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1648
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1649
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1650
format. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1662
---------------------
1664
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1666
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1667
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1668
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1669
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1670
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1675
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1676
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1678
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1679
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1680
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1682
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1683
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1684
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1685
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1686
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1687
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1692
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1693
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1695
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1696
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1697
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1700
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1701
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1702
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1703
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1704
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1706
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1707
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1708
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1709
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1710
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1711
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1712
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1713
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1717
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1718
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1720
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1721
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1723
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1724
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1726
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1727
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1728
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1730
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1731
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1732
(John Arbash Meinel)
1736
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1737
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1739
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1740
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1742
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1743
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1745
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1746
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1747
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1749
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1750
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1751
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1753
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1754
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1756
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1757
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1758
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1759
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1760
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1762
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1764
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1765
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1768
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1769
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1771
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1772
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1774
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1775
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1777
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1778
more characters which should be considered valid.
1779
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1781
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1782
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1784
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1785
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1789
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1790
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1792
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1793
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1798
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1799
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1804
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1805
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1806
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1808
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1809
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1810
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1812
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1813
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1814
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1815
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1817
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1819
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1820
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1821
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1822
server. (Robert Collins)
1824
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1825
operate. (Robert Collins)
1827
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1828
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1829
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1831
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1832
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1833
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1834
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1836
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1837
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1839
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1840
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1841
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1843
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1844
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1846
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1847
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1849
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1850
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1851
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1852
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4810
********************
4812
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4813
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4814
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4815
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4816
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4822
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4823
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4825
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4826
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4827
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4829
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4830
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4831
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4832
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4833
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4834
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4840
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4841
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4843
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4844
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4845
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4848
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4849
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4850
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4851
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4852
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4854
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4855
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4856
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4857
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4858
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4859
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4860
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4861
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4866
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4867
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4869
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4870
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4872
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4873
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4875
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4876
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4877
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4879
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4880
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4881
(John Arbash Meinel)
4886
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4887
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4889
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4890
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4892
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4893
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4895
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4896
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4897
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4899
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4900
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4901
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4903
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4904
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4906
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4907
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4908
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4909
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4910
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4912
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4914
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4915
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4918
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4919
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4921
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4922
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4924
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4925
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
4927
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4928
more characters which should be considered valid.
4929
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4931
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4932
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4934
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4935
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4940
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4941
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4943
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4944
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4950
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4951
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4957
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4958
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4959
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4961
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4962
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4963
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4965
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4966
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4967
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4968
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4970
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4972
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4973
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4974
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4975
server. (Robert Collins)
4977
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4978
operate. (Robert Collins)
4980
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4981
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4982
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4984
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4985
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4986
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4987
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4989
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4990
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4992
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4993
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4994
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4996
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4997
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4999
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
5000
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
5002
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
5003
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
5004
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
5005
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1861
---------------------
1865
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1866
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1867
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1868
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1870
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1871
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1872
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1873
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1877
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1880
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1883
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1884
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1888
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1891
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1892
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1893
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1895
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1897
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1898
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1899
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1900
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1901
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1903
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1904
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1905
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1907
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1908
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1910
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1913
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1915
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1917
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1920
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1921
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1925
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1926
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1928
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1929
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1931
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1934
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1935
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1937
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1938
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1940
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1941
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1943
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1944
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1946
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1947
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1948
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1950
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1953
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1954
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1957
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1959
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1960
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1963
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1964
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1966
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1969
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1972
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1973
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1975
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1978
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1979
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1982
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1983
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1984
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1988
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1991
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1992
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1993
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1994
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1995
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1996
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1998
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2002
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2005
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2006
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2008
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2010
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2011
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2012
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2015
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2016
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2018
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2025
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2026
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2027
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2029
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2030
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2033
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2034
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2036
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2037
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2039
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2040
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2042
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2043
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2044
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2046
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2047
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2049
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2050
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2052
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2053
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2056
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2057
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2059
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2060
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
5204
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
5205
regular expression. (Robert Collins)

* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
5214
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.

* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
5218
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
5220
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
5221
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2190
---------------------
2192
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2194
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2195
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2196
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2197
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2199
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2200
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2202
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2203
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2205
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2206
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2207
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2208
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2209
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2210
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2211
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2212
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2213
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2214
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2215
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2216
from any tree without problems.
2217
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2221
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2222
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2223
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2225
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2226
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2227
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2232
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2233
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2234
supported transports.
2237
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2238
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2239
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2241
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2242
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2244
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2245
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2246
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2247
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2249
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2250
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2254
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2255
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2256
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2257
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2259
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2260
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2261
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2262
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2264
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2265
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2267
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2268
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2270
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2271
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2273
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2274
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2279
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2282
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2283
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2286
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2287
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2288
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2289
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2291
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2292
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2293
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2294
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
2300
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2301
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2303
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2304
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2306
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2307
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2309
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2312
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2313
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2315
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2316
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2318
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2319
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2321
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2324
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2327
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2328
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2329
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2331
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2332
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2334
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2335
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2337
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2338
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2340
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2341
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2343
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2344
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2345
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2346
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2348
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2350
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2351
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2354
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2355
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2357
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2359
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2361
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2362
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2364
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2365
specify a port in urls.
2366
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2368
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2369
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2371
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2372
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2374
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2375
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2377
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2378
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2380
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2381
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2382
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2384
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2386
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2387
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2389
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2392
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2393
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2395
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2396
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2398
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2399
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2400
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2402
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2403
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2405
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2406
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2407
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2408
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2410
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2411
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2413
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2414
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2415
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2417
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2418
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2420
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2423
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2424
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2428
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2429
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2431
* The return value of
2432
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2433
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2434
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2435
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2437
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2440
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2441
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2447
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2448
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2449
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2452
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2453
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2455
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

5429
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5430
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5432
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5433
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5434
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5435
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5437
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5438
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5440
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5441
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5443
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5444
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5446
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5447
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5453
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5456
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5457
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5460
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5461
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5462
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5463
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5465
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5466
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5467
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5468
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5476
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5477
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5479
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5480
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5482
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5483
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5485
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5486
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5488
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
5489
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
5491
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
5492
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
5494
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
5495
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
5497
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5500
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5501
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5503
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5504
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5507
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5508
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
5510
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5511
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5513
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5514
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5516
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5517
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5519
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5520
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5521
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5522
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5524
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5526
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5527
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5528
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5530
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
5531
(Robert Collins, #161240)
5533
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
5535
(Martin Pool, #164443)
5537
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5538
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5540
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5541
specify a port in urls.
5542
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5544
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5545
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5547
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
5548
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5550
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5551
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5553
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5554
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5556
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5557
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5558
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5560
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5562
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5563
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5565
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5568
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5569
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5571
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5572
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5574
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5575
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5576
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5578
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5579
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5581
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5582
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5583
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5584
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5586
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5587
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5589
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5590
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5591
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5593
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5594
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5596
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5597
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5599
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5605
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5606
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5608
* The return value of
5609
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5610
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5611
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5612
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5614
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5617
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5618
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5625
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5626
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5627
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5630
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5631
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5633
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

5636
bzr 0.92 2007-11-05
2465
5642
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)

bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
2469
----------------------
2471
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2475
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2476
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2478
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2479
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2480
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2481
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2482
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2483
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2484
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2485
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2486
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2487
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2488
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2489
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2494
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2495
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2496
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2497
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2498
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2499
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2501
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2502
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2503
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2506
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2508
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2509
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2511
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2512
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2515
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2516
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2517
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2521
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2522
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2524
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2525
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2527
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2528
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2529
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2530
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2532
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2535
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2536
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2537
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2538
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2540
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2541
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2543
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2544
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2546
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2547
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2549
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2550
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2554
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2555
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2557
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2558
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2560
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2561
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2563
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2564
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2566
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2567
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2571
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2573
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2578
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2579
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2580
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2582
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2583
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2585
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2586
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2588
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2589
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2590
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2591
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2593
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2594
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2595
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2596
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2597
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2599
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2600
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2604
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2606
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2607
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2609
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2612
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2615
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2616
contains a symbolic link.
2617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2619
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2620
(James Westby, #140615)
2622
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2623
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2626
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2627
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2628
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2630
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2632
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2635
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2639
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2640
directory to detect leaking tests.
2641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2643
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2644
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2645
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2647
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2650
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2651
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2653
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2658
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2659
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2661
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2662
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2663
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2665
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2666
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2667
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2669
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2670
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2672
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2673
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2675
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2676
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2679
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2680
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2682
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2683
class that needs it.
2686
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2687
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2689
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2690
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2691
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2693
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2694
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2695
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2698
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2699
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2700
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2701
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2706
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2707
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2708
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2710
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2711
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2712
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2713
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2715
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2716
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2719
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2720
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2721
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2723
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2724
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2725
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2727
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2728
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2730
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2731
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2732
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2734
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2735
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2737
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2738
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2739
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2741
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2742
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2743
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2745
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2746
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2747
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2748
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2750
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2751
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2752
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2753
returned. (Robert Collins)
2755
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2756
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2758
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2759
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2760
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2761
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2764
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2765
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2769
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2770
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2772
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2773
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2774
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2775
makes this behavior available to other users.
2778
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2779
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5646
######################
5651
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5652
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5654
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5655
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5656
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5657
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5658
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5659
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5660
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5661
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -

* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5672
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5673
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5674
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``

wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5679
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5682
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5684
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5685
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5687
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5688
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5691
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5692
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5693
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5698
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5699
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5701
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5702
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5704
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5705
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5706
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5707
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5709
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5712
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5713
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5714
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5715
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5717
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5718
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5720
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5721
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5723
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5724
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5726
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5727
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5732
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5733
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5735
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5736
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5738
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5739
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5741
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5742
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5744
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5745
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5750
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5752
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5758
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5759
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5760
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5762
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5763
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5765
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5766
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5768
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5769
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5770
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5771
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5773
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5774
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5775
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5776
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5777
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5779
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5780
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5784
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5786
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5787
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5789
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5790
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5792
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5795
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5796
contains a symbolic link.
5797
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5799
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5800
(James Westby, #140615)
5802
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5803
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5806
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5807
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5808
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5810
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5812
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5813
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5815
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5817
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5819
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5820
directory to detect leaking tests.
5821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5823
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5824
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5825
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5827
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5830
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5831
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5833
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5839
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5840
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5842
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5843
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5844
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5846
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5847
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5848
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5850
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5851
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5853
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5854
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5856
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5857
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5860
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5861
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5863
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5864
class that needs it.
5867
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5868
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5870
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5871
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5872
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5874
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5875
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5876
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5879
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5880
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5881
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5882
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5888
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5889
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5890
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5892
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5893
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5894
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5895
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5897
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5898
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5901
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5902
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5903
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5905
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5906
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5907
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5909
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5910
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5912
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5913
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5914
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5916
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5917
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5919
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5920
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5921
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5923
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5924
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5925
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5927
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5928
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5929
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5930
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5932
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5933
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5934
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5935
returned. (Robert Collins)
5937
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5938
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5940
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5941
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5942
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5943
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5946
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5947
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5952
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5953
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5955
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5956
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5957
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5958
makes this behavior available to other users.
5961
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5962
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2782
5965
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2787
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2788
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2789
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2791
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2793
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2794
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2795
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2796
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2798
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2799
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5971
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5972
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5973
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5975
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5977
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5978
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5979
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5980
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5982
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5983
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

5987
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2804
----------------------
5988
######################
2806
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2807
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5990
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5991
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2810
5994
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2811
----------------------
2815
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2816
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2817
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2818
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2821
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2822
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2823
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2828
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2829
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2830
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2833
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2834
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2835
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2837
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2838
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2839
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2841
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2842
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2844
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2845
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2846
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2847
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2848
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2849
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2850
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2851
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2852
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2853
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2855
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2856
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2858
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2859
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2860
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2864
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2865
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2867
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2868
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2869
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2871
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2872
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2874
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2875
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2877
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2880
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2881
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2883
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2884
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2886
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2887
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2889
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2890
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2892
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2894
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2897
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2898
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2899
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2900
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2902
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2904
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2905
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2908
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2909
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2911
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2912
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2915
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2916
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2918
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2919
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2921
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2922
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2923
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2924
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2925
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2926
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2927
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2929
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2930
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2932
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2933
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2935
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2936
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2938
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2941
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2945
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2946
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2948
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2949
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2950
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2952
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2953
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2954
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2958
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2959
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2961
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2964
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2967
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2968
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2970
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2972
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2973
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2975
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2976
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2978
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2979
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2980
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2981
space). (Robert Collins)
2983
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2984
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2987
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2988
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2990
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2991
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2993
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2994
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2995
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2996
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2998
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2999
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3000
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3003
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3006
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3007
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3008
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3010
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3011
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3012
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3013
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3014
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3018
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3019
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3021
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3022
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3023
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3024
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3025
affected. (Robert Collins)
3027
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3028
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3029
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3032
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3033
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3037
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3038
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3040
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3041
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3043
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3044
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3046
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3049
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3050
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3054
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3055
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3056
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3057
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3059
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3060
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3062
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3063
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3064
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3065
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3067
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3068
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3069
present. (Robert Collins)
3071
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3072
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3073
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3074
API. (Robert Collins)
3076
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3077
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3080
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3081
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3083
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3084
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3085
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3086
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3087
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3088
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3090
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3091
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3092
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3094
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3095
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3096
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3097
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3100
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3103
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3104
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3105
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3106
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3107
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3108
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3109
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3111
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3112
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3113
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3114
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3116
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3117
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3118
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3119
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3120
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3121
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3123
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3124
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3125
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3127
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3128
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

######################
6000
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6001
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
6002
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
6003
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
6006
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
6007
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
6008
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
6014
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6015
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
6016
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
6019
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
6020
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
6021
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
6023
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
6024
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
6025
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
6027
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
6028
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
6030
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
6031
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
6032
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
6033
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
6034
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
6035
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
6036
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
6037
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
6038
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
6039
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6041
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6042
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6044
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6045
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6046
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6051
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6052
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6054
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6055
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6056
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6058
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6059
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6061
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
6062
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
6064
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
6067
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
6068
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
6070
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
6071
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
6073
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
6074
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6076
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
6077
(Blake Winton, #129299)
6079
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
6081
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
6084
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
6085
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
6086
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
6087
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
6089
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6091
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
6092
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
6095
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
6096
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
6098
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
6099
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
6102
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
6103
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
6105
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
6106
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
6108
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
6109
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
6110
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6111
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6112
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6113
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
6114
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6116
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6117
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
6119
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
6120
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
6122
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
6123
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
6125
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
6126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
6128
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
6130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
6132
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
6133
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
6135
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
6136
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
6137
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
6139
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6140
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6141
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6146
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
6147
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6149
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
6152
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
6155
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
6156
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6158
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
6160
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
6161
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
6163
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
6164
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
6166
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
6167
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
6168
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
6169
space). (Robert Collins)
6171
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
6172
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
6175
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
6176
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6178
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
6179
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6181
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6182
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6183
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6184
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6186
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6187
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6188
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6191
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6194
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6195
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6196
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6198
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6199
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6200
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6201
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6202
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6207
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6208
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6210
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6211
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6212
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6213
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6214
affected. (Robert Collins)
6216
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6217
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6218
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6221
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6222
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6227
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6228
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6230
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6231
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6233
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6234
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6236
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6239
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6240
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6245
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6246
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6247
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6248
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6250
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6251
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6253
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6254
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6255
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6256
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6258
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6259
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6260
present. (Robert Collins)
6262
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6263
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6264
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6265
API. (Robert Collins)
6267
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6268
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6271
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6272
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6274
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6275
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6276
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6277
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6278
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6279
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6281
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6282
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6283
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6285
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6286
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6287
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6288
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6291
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6294
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6295
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6296
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6297
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6298
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6299
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6300
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6302
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6303
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6304
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6305
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6307
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6308
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6309
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6310
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6311
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6312
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6314
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6315
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6316
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6318
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6319
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3131
6322
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
3136
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3137
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3138
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3139
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3140
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3141
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3142
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3143
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3148
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3149
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3150
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6328
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6329
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6330
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6331
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6332
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the

Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6334
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6335
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6341
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6342
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6343
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3153
6346
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3154
----------------------
3158
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3159
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3160
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3161
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3162
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3164
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3167
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3171
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3172
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3175
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3176
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3179
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3182
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3183
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3185
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3186
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3188
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3189
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3191
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3192
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3194
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3195
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3197
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3202
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3203
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3205
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3206
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3208
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3209
the repository (Robert Collins)
3211
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3212
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3213
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3214
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3215
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3217
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3218
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3220
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3221
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3222
(John Arbash Meinel)
3224
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3225
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3226
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3228
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3229
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3230
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).

* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3234
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3237
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3238
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3240
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3243
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3245
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3247
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3248
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3250
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3251
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3254
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3255
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3256
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3257
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3259
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3260
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3261
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3263
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3264
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3265

* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3268
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3270
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3271
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3272
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3273
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3274
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3275
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3278
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``

(Alexander Belchenko)
3281
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3282
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3284
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3285
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3287
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3289
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3290
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3294
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3295
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3296
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3297
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3299
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3301
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3304
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3305
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3306
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3307
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3308
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3309
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3313
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3314
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3315
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3316
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3318
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3319
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3320
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3321
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3322
tests have been refactored too.
3325
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3326
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3327
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3331
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3332
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3333
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3335
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3336
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3337
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3338
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3339
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3340
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3341
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3343
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3344
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3345
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3346
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3347
(John Arbash Meinel)
3349
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3350
functionality for testing.
3352
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3354
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3355
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3357
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3359
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3362
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3363
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3365
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3366
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3367
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3369
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3372
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3373
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3375
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3376
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3377
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3378
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3380
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3381
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3383
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3384
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3385
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3387
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3390
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3391
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3392
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3393
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3394
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3395
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3397
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3398
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3399
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3400
many files. (Robert Collins)
3402
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3403
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3404
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3405
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3409
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3410
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3411
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3413
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3414
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3416
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3417
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3418
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

######################
6352
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6353
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6354
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6355
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
6356
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)

6365
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6366
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6369
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6370
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6373
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6376
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6377
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6379
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6380
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6382
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6383
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6385

6388
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6389
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6391
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6397
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6398
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6400
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6401
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6403
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6404
the repository (Robert Collins)
6406
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6407
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6408
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6409
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6410
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6412
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6413
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6415
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6416
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6417
(John Arbash Meinel)
6419
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6420
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6421
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6423
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6424
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6425
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6426
(John Arbash Meinel)
6428
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6429

3583
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3585
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3586
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3587
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3588
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3589
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3590
same location. (Robert Collins)
3594
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3596
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3598
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3600
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3603
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3606
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3607
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3608
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3610
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3612
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3613
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3614
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3616
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3617
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3619
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3620
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3621
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3623
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3624
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3625
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3627
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3628
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3629
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3631
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3632
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3635
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3636
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3638
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3639
(Alexander Belchenko)
3643
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3644
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3645
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3646
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3648
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3649
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3650
testing. (Robert Collins)
3652
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3653
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3655
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3656
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3657
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3658
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3659
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3660
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3661
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3663
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3664
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3665
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3666
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3668
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3669
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3671
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3672
avoid useless cloning.

6684
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
6685
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree

6699
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
6700
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
6702

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3693
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3694
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3695
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3696
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3697
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3698
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3699
and unlock() like so::
3701
work_tree.lock_read()
3703
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3708
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3709
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3711
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3712
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3713
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3715
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3716
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3717
too. (Robert Collins)
3721
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3722
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3725
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3726
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3728
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3729
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3731
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3732
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3733
understanding what changes have occurred
3734
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3736
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3737
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3738
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3740
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3741
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3742
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3743
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3745
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3750
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3751
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3752
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3753
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3754
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3756
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3757
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3758
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3760
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3761
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3763
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3767
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3768
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3770
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3771
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3773
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3774
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3776
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3777
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3779
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3780
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3782
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3783
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3784
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6904
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6905
and unlock() like so::
6907
work_tree.lock_read()
6909
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6915
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6916
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6918
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6919
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6920
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6922
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6923
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6924
too. (Robert Collins)
6929
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6930
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6933
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6934
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6936
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6937
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6939
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6940
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6941
understanding what changes have occurred
6942
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6944
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6945
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6946
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6948
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6949
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6950
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6951
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6953
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6959
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6960
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6961
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6962
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6963
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6965
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6966
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6967
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6969
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6970
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6972
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6974
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6976
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6977
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6979
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6980
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6982
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6983
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6985
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6986
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6988
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6989
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6991
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6992
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6993
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3787
--------------------
3791
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3792
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3793
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3794
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3795
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3797
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3798
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3799
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3801
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3802
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3806
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3807
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3808
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3810
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3811
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3812
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3813
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3839
-----------------------
3841
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3843
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3844
it could be recovered again.
3845
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3846
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3847
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3849
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3851
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3852
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3856
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3857
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3859
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3860
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3861
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3862
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3864
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3865
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3867
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3868
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3869
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3871
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3872
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3873
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3875
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3876
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3877
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3879
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3880
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3883
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3886
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3887
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3888
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3889
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3891
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3894
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3895
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3896
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3899
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3900
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3902
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3903
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3905
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3906
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3907
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3908
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3911
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3912
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3914
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3915
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3917
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3918
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3919
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3921
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3922
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3923
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3925
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3926
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3927
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3929
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3930
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3931
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3932
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3934
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3935
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3936
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3937
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3939
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3940
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3941
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3942
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3943
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3944
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3945
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3946
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3952
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3953
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3955
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3956
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3957
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3958
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3959
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3961
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3962
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3964
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3965
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3967
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3968
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3970
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3971
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3973
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3974
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3975
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3978
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3979
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3980
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3981
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3982
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3985
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3986
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3987
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3989
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3990
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3993
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3994
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3995
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3998
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3999
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4000
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4001
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4002
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4004
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4005
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4006
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4007
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4009
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4010
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4012
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4013
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4014
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4015
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4016
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4017
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4019
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4020
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4022
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4023
help. (Robert Collins)
4025
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4026
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4028
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4029
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4030
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4031
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4032
(John Arbash Meinel)
4034
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4035
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4036
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4037
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4038
useful. (Robert Collins)
4040
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4045
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4046
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4048
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4049
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4051
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4052
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4053
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4055
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4058
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4059
the file, and does it faster.
4060
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4062
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4063
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4064
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4066
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4067
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4068
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4069
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4071
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4072
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4073
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4074
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4076
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4077
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4079
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4080
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4081
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4082
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4085
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4087
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4088
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4090
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4091
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4093
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4094
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4095
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4096
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4100
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4105
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4106
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4107
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4109
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4110
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4112
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4113
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4114
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4115
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4116
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4117
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4118
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4119
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4121
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4122
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4123
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4125
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4126
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4127
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4128
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4129
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4131
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4133
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4134
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4135
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4137
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4138
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

7079
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
7081
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
7082
tests with names that match that regular expression.
7083
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
7085
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
7086
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
7087
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
7089
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
7090
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
7091
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
7093
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
7094
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
7097
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
7100
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
7101
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
7102
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
7103
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
7105
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
7108
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
7109
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
7110
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
7113
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
7114
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
7116
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
7117
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
7119
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
7120
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
7121
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
7122
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
7125
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
7126
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
7128
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
7129
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7131
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
7132
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
7133
(Robert Collins, #107125).
7135
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
7136
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
7137
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
7139
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
7140
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
7141
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7143
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
7144
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
7145
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
7146
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
7148
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
7149
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
7150
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
7151
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
7153
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
7154
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
7155
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
7156
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
7157
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
7158
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
7159
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
7160
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
7167
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
7168
code paths. (Robert Collins)
7170
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
7171
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
7172
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
7173
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
7174
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7176
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
7177
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
7179
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7180
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7182
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7183
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7185
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7186
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7188
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7189
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7190
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7193
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7194
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7195
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7196
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7197
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7200
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7201
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7202
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7204
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7205
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7208
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7209
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7210
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7213
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7214
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7215
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7216
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7217
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7219
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7220
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7221
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7222
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7224
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7225
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7227
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7228
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7229
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7230
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7231
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7232
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7234
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7235
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7237
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7238
help. (Robert Collins)
7240
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7241
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7243
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7244
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7245
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7246
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7247
(John Arbash Meinel)
7249
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7250
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7251
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7252
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7253
useful. (Robert Collins)
7255
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7261
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7262
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7264
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7265
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7267
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7268
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7269
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7271
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7274
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7275
the file, and does it faster.
7276
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7278
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7279
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7280
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7282
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7283
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7284
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7285
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7287
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7288
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7289
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7290
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7292
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7293
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7295
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7296
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7297
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7298
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7301
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7303
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7304
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7306
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7307
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7309
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7310
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7311
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7312
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7316
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7322
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7323
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7324
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7326
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7327
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7329
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7330
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7331
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7332
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7333
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7334
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7335
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7336
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7338
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7339
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7340
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7342
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7343
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7344
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7345
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7346
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7348
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7350
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7351
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7352
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7354
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7355
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

-----------------------
4158
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4159

4164
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4165
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4166
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4167
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4168
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4169
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4170
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4171
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4176
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4177
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4178
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4180
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4181
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4184
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4185
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4186
(John Arbash Meinel)
4188
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4189
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4190
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4191
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4192
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4196
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4199
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.

* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4203
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4205
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4206
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4207
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4209
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4210
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4212
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4213
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4214
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4215
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4216
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4218
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4219
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4220
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4222

* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4248
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4252
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4257
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4258
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4259
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4260

4276
-----------------------
4280
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4281
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4282
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4283
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4284
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4285
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4287
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4288
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4289
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of

``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4291
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4292
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4294
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4296
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4297
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4298
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4299
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4300
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4301
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4302
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4303
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4307
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4308
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4310
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4311
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4312
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4313
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4315
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4316
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4317
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4318
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4319
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4321
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4324
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4327
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4330
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4331
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4334
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4337
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4338
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4340
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4341
directory. (Martin Pool)
4343
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4344
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4345
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4346
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4348
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4349
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4350
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4351
in docs/configuration.txt.
4353
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4354
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4357
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4358
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4359
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4360
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4361
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4362
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4364
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4365
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4367
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4368
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4370
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4375
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4376
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4377
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4378
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4379
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4380
(John Arbash Meinel)
4382
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4383
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4386
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4387
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4388
(John Arbash Meinel)
4390
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4391
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4392
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4393
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4394
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4395
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4397
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4398
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4399
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4401
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4402
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4403
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4404
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4406
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4408
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4409
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4410
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4411
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4413
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4414
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4415
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4416
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4418
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4419
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4420
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4422
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4423
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4424
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4426
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4427
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4428
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4429
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4431
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4432
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4433
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4435
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4436
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4437
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4439
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4440
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4441
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4442
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4443
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4444
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4445
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4446
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4447
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

4449
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4453
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4454
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4455
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4457
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4460
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4461
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4462
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4463
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4465
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4466
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4469
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4470
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4472
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4474
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4475
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4476
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4478
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4479
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4481
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4484
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4487
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4488
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4490

4492
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4493
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4497
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4498
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
7502
#######################
7507
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7508
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7509
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7510
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7511
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7512
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7514
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7515
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7516
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7517
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7518

protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4526
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4527
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)

* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4532

the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4534
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4536
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4537
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4539
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4542
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4543
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4544
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4545
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4546
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4547
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4549
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4550
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this

should enable you to do::
4553
[/home/user/project]
4554
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4555
push_location:policy = appendpath
4557
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4558
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.

4562
for each file. For example::

* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
7759
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7760
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7761
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7763
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7766
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7767
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7768
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7770
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
7771
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
7773
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
7776
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7777
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7778
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7779
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7780
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7781
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7783
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7784
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7785
should enable you to do::
7787
[/home/user/project]
7788
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7789
push_location:policy = appendpath
7791
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7792
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7795
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
7796
for each file. For example::
7798
$ bzr status --short

* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
7805
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)

* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
7809
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
7810
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
7812
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
7817
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
7818
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7819
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is

* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4682
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4683
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4684
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4685

* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on

(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)

4723
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4725
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4727

are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4741
them as full references rather than integers.
4742
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)

Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)

-----------------------
4792
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4793
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4794
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4795
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4797
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4798
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4800
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4802
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4803
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4804
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4805
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4807
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4808
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4809
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4810
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4813
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4815
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4816
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4820
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4821
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4822
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4824
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4825
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4826
(John Arbash Meinel)
4828
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4829
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4830
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4832
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4833
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4836
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4837
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4838
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4840
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4841
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4842
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4843
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4844
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4845
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4847
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4848
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4849
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4852
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4853
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4857
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4858
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4859

#######################
8035
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
8036
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
8037
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
8038
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
8040
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
8041
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
8043
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
8045
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
8046
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
8047
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
8048
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8050
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
8051
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
8052
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
8053
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
8054
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)

* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
8060
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
8065
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
8066

8067
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8069
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
8070
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
8071
(John Arbash Meinel)
8073
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
8074
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
8075
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
8077
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
8078
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
8081
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
8082
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
8083
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8085
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
8086
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
8087
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
8088
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
8089
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
8090
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8092
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
8093
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
8094
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
8097
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
8098
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
8103
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
8104
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using

5000
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5001
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5003
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5004
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5006
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5007
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5008
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5009
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5011
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5012
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5013
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)

(John Arbash Meinel)
5028
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5029
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5030
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5031
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5033
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5036
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5037
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5038
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5040
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5041
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5043
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5044
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5045
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5047
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5048
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5049
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5050
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5051
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5052
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5053
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5054
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5055
caller to repeat their request.
5056
(John Arbash Meinel)
5058
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5059
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5061
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5062
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5064
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5065
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5066
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5067
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5068
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5069
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5070
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5072
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5073
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5074
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5075
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5076
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5077
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5078
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5079
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5082
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5083
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5084
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5086
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5087
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5089
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5090
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5092
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5093
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5097
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5098
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5100
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5101
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5102
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5104
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5105
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5106
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8305
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8306
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8307
caller to repeat their request.
8308
(John Arbash Meinel)

* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8311
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8313
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8314
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8316
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8317
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8318
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8319
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8320
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8321
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8322
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8324
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8325
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8326
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8327
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8328
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8329
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8330
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8331
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8334
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8335
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8336
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8338
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8339
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8341
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8342
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8344
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8345
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8350
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8351
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8353
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8354
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8355
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8357
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8358
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8359
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5121
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5122
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5123

5173
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5174
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5175
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5176
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5177
(John Arbash Meinel)
5179
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which

5181
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5184
---------------------
5188
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5189
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5190
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5191
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5192
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5193
a more conservative list than the old default.
5194
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5195
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5196
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5197
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5199
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5200
to more locations than just branch locations.
5205
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5206
revno:N:branch. For example,
5207
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5208
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5210
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5211
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5212
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5213
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5214
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5215
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5216
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5217
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5220
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5221
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5222
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5225
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5226
(Alexander Belchenko)
5228
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5230
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5233
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5234
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5235
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5236
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5237
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5238
(John Arbash Meinel)
5240
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5241
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5242
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5243
grained analysis of performance.
5244
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5246
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5247
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5249
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5250
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5251
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5252
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5253
file. (Robert Collins).
5255
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5256
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5257
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5259
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5260
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5263
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5264
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5266
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5267
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5268
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5269
the same way you would apply another branch.
5270
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5272
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5273
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5275
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5278
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5281
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5282
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5283
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5285
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5286
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5287
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5289
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5290
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5292
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5293
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5294
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5295
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5296
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5298
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5299
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5301
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5302
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5303
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5304
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5305
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5306
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5307
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5308
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5310
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5311
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5312
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5316
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5318
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5320
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5321
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5323
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5324
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5326
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5327
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5329
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5331
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5332
(John Arbash Meinel)
5334
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5335
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5337
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5338
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5341
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5342
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5344
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5345
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5347
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5348
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5349
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5350
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5352
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5353
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5355
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5357
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5358
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5360
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5362
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5364
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5365
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5367
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5368
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5370
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5371
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5372
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5374
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5375
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5376
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5378
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5379
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5381
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5382
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5384
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5385
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5387
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5388
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5390
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5391
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5393
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5394
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5395
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5397
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5399
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5400
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5404
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5405
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5406
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5408
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5409
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5411
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5412
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5413
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5415
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5416
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5418
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5419
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5422
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5423
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5424
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5426
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5427
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5428
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5430
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5431
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5432
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5434
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5435
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5436
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5438
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5439
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5440
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5442
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5443
instead. (Robert Collins)
5445
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8464
revno:N:branch. For example,
8465
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8466
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8468
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8469
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8470
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8471
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8472
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8473
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8474
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8475
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8478
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8479
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8480
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8483
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8484
(Alexander Belchenko)
8486
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8488
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8491
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8492
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8493
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8494
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8495
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8496
(John Arbash Meinel)
8498
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8499
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8500
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8501
grained analysis of performance.
8502
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8504
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8505
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8507
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8508
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8509
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8510
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8511
file. (Robert Collins).
8513
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8514
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8515
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8517
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8518
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8521
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8522
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8524
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8525
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8526
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8527
the same way you would apply another branch.
8528
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8530
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8531
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8533
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8536
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8539
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8540
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8541
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8543
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8544
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8545
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8547
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8548
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8550
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8551
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8552
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8553
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8554
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8556
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8557
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8559
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8560
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8561
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8562
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8563
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8564
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8565
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8566
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8568
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8569
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8570
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8575
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8577
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8579
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8580
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8582
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8583
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8585
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8586
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8588
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8590
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8591
(John Arbash Meinel)
8593
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8594
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8596
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8597
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8600
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8601
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8603
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8604
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8606
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8607
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8608
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8609
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8611
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8612
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8614
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8616
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8617
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8619
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8621
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8623
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8624
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8626
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8627
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8629
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8630
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8631
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8633
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8634
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8635
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8637
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8638
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8640
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8641
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8643
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8644
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8646
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8647
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8649
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8650
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8652
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8653
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8654
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8656
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8658
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8659
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8664
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8665
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8666
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8668
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8669
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8671
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8672
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8673
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8675
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8676
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8678
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8679
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8682
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8683
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8684
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8686
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8687
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8688
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8690
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8691
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8692
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8694
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8695
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8696
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8698
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8699
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8700
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8702
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8703
instead. (Robert Collins)
8705
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5505
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5507
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5508
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5509
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5510
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5511
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5512
will keep the same format.
5514
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5515
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5516
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5517
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5518
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5520
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5521
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5522
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5523
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5524
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5525
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5526
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5528
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5529
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5530
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5531
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5532
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5534
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5535
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5536
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5542
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5543
convention. Paths now take the form::
5545
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5547
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5549
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5550
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5552
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5553
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5554
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5556
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5557
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5558
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5559
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5561
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5562
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5563
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5565
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5567
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5569
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5570
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5573
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5574
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5577
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5579
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5580
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5581
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5584
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5586
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5588
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5591
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5592
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5594
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5595
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5598
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5599
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5602
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5604
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5606
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5607
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5609
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5610
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5611
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5612
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5613
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5614
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5616
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5618
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5619
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5622
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5623
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5625
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5626
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5628
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5630
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5631
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5632
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5633
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5634
specification by Martin Pool.
5635
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5637
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5640
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5641
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5643
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5644
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5645
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5647
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5649
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5650
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5655
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5656
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5658
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5660
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5662
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5665
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5666
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5667
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5668
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5672
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5673
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5674
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5675
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5677
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5678
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5679
tried. (Martin Pool)
5681
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5684
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5686
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5687
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5688
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5690
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5691
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5693
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5694
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5695
paths. (Robert Collins)
5697
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5698
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5699
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5701
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5702
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5703
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5705
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5706
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5707
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5709
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5712
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5715
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5717
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5719
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5720
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5721
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5724
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5725
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5727
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5728
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5729
check. (Robert Collins)
5731
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5732
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5736
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5737
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5739
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5740
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5741
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5742
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5744
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5745
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5746
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5747
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5748
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5750
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5751
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5752
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5754
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5756
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5757
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8772
Notes When Upgrading
8773
********************
8775
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
8776
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
8777
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
8778
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
8779
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
8780
will keep the same format.
8782
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
8783
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
8784
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
8785
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
8786
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
8788
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
8789
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
8790
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
8791
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
8792
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
8793
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
8794
indicating the current revision of the branch.
8796
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
8797
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
8798
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
8799
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
8800
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
8802
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
8803
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
8804
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
8811
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
8812
convention. Paths now take the form::
8814
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
8816
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
8818
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8819
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8821
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8822
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8823
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8825
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8826
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8827
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8828
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8830
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8831
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8832
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8834
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8836
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8838
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8839
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8842
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8843
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8846
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8848
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8849
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8850
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8853
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8855
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8857
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8860
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8861
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8863
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8864
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8867
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8868
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8871
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8873
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8875
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8876
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8878
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8879
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8880
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8881
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8882
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8883
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8885
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8887
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8888
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8891
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8892
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8894
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8895
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8897
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8899
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8900
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8901
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8902
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8903
specification by Martin Pool.
8904
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8906
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8909
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8910
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8912
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8913
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8914
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8916
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8918
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8919
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8925
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8926
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8928
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8930
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8932
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8935
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8936
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8937
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8938
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8943
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8944
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8945
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8946
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8948
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8949
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8950
tried. (Martin Pool)
8952
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8955
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8957
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8958
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8959
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8961
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8962
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8964
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8965
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8966
paths. (Robert Collins)
8968
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8969
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8970
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8972
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8973
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8974
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8976
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8977
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8978
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8980
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8983
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8986
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8988
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8990
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8991
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8992
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8995
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8996
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8998
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8999
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
9000
check. (Robert Collins)
9002
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
9003
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
9008
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
9009
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
9011
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
9012
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
9013
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
9014
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
9016
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
9017
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
9018
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
9019
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
9020
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
9022
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
9023
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
9024
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
9026
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
9028
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
9029
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5759
9031
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5764
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5765
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5767
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5768
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5769
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5772
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5773
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5775
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5776
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5777
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5778
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5779
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5781
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5782
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5783
used. (Robert Collins)
5785
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5786
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5789
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5790
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5791
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5793
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5796
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5797
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5801
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5802
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5804
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5806
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5808
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5809
tree. (Robert Collins)
5811
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5812
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5813
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5816
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5819
* Tweaks to short log printing
5821
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5824
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5825
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5827
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5828
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5830
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5831
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5833
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5834
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5835
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5837
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5838
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5840
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5841
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5844
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5845
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5847
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5848
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5850
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5851
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5853
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5856
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5857
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5859
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5860
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5862
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5863
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5864
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5868
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5870
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5872
* Error when run with -OO
5874
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5877
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5879
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5881
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5882
ignored by diff and status
5884
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5885
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5887
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5889
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5891
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5892
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5894
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5895
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5897
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5900
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5901
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5903
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5905
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5906
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5908
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5911
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5912
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5914
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5918
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5919
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5921
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5923
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5925
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5927
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5928
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5929
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5931
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5933
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5934
(John Arbash Meinel)
5936
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5938
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5939
If adding a new test script please add that to
5940
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5942
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5943
imported. (Martin Pool)
5945
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5946
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5947
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5948
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5949
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5952
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5953
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5954
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5956
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5957
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5958
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5960
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5961
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5962
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5963
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5964
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5967
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5968
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5973
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5974
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5976
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5977
function. (Robert Collins)
5979
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5980
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5981
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5983
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5984
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5987
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5988
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5989
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5990
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5991
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5992
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5993
version. (Robert Collins)
5995
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5996
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5998
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5999
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6000
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6001
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6002
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6003
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6005
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6008
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6018
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6020
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6022
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6025
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6026
query method. (Robert Collins)
6028
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6031
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6034
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6037
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6038
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6039
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6040
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6042
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6043
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6044
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6045
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6047
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6048
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9037
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
9038
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
9040
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9041
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
9042
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
9045
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
9046
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
9048
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
9049
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
9050
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
9051
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
9052
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
9054
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
9055
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
9056
used. (Robert Collins)
9058
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
9059
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
9062
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
9063
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
9064
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
9066
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
9069
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
9070
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
9075
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
9076
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
9078
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
9080
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
9082
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
9083
tree. (Robert Collins)
9085
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9086
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
9087
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
9090
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
9093
* Tweaks to short log printing
9095
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
9098
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
9099
occurs. (Martin Pool)
9101
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
9102
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
9104
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
9105
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
9107
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
9108
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
9109
settings. (Magnus Therning)
9111
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
9112
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9114
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
9115
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
9118
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
9119
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
9121
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
9122
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
9124
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
9125
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
9127
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
9130
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
9131
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
9133
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
9134
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
9136
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
9137
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
9138
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
9143
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
9145
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9147
* Error when run with -OO
9149
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
9152
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
9154
* Change status to 3 for all errors
9156
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
9157
ignored by diff and status
9159
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
9160
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
9162
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
9164
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
9166
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
9167
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
9169
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
9170
email address. (Marien Zwart)
9172
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
9175
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
9176
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9178
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9180
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9181
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9183
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9186
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9187
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9189
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9194
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9195
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9197
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9199
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9201
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9203
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9204
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9205
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9207
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9209
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9210
(John Arbash Meinel)
9212
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9214
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9215
If adding a new test script please add that to
9216
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9218
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9219
imported. (Martin Pool)
9221
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9222
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9223
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9224
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9225
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9228
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9229
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9230
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9232
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9233
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9234
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9236
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9237
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9238
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9239
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9240
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9243
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9244
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9250
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9251
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9253
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9254
function. (Robert Collins)
9256
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9257
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9258
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9260
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9261
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9264
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9265
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9266
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9267
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9268
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9269
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9270
version. (Robert Collins)
9272
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9273
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9275
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9276
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9277
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9278
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9279
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9280
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9282
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9285
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9295
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9297
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9299
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9302
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9303
query method. (Robert Collins)
9305
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9308
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9311
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9314
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9315
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9316
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9317
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9319
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9320
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9321
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9322
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9324
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9325
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6050
9327
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6055
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6058
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6062
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6063
a separator, not ':'.
6066
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6067
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6068
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6070
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6071
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6074
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6075
has been added that suppresses all output.
6077
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6080
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6081
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6083
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6084
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6086
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6087
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6089
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6090
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6091
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6092
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6094
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6096
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6097
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6099
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6100
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6102
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6103
output directory, if one was supplied.
6105
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6106
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6107
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6108
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6110
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6112
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6113
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6115
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6116
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6117
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6119
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6120
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6122
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6125
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6127
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6131
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6132
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6133
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6135
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6136
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6137
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6139
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6140
is given. (Martin Pool)
6142
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6143
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6144
file. (Robert Collins)
6146
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6151
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6152
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6153
representation. (Martin Pool).
6155
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6156
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6157
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6159
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6162
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6163
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6166
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6167
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6168
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6169
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6170
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6172
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6173
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6174
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6175
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6176
python path. (Robert Collins)
6178
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6179
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6180
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6181
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6183
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6184
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6186
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6187
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6190
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6191
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6192
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6194
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6195
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6196
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6198
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6199
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6201
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6202
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6203
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6206
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6207
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6208
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6209
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6212
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6215
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6216
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6219
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6220
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6221
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6223
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6224
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6225
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6227
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6228
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6229
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6231
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6232
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6234
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6235
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6236
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6237
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6238
caller. (Robert Collins)
6240
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6241
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6244
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6245
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6248
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6250
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6251
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6255
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6256
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6258
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6259
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
9333
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9336
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9340
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9341
a separator, not ':'.
9344
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9345
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9346
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9348
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9349
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9352
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9353
has been added that suppresses all output.
9355
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9358
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9359
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9361
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9362
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9364
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9365
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9367
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9368
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9369
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9370
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9372
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9374
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9375
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9377
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9378
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9380
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9381
output directory, if one was supplied.
9383
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9384
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9385
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9386
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9388
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9390
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9391
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)

9398
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9400
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9403
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9405
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9410
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9411
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9412
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9414
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9415
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9416
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9418
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9419
is given. (Martin Pool)
9421
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9422
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9423
file. (Robert Collins)
9425
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9431
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9432
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9433
representation. (Martin Pool).
9435
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9436
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9437
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9439
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9442
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9443
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9446
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9447
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9448
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9449
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9450
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9452
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9453
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9454
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9455
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9456
python path. (Robert Collins)
9458
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9459
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9460
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9461
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9463
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9464
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9466
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9467
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9470
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9471
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9472
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9474
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9475
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9476
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9478
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9479
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9481
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9482
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9483
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9486
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9487
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9488
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9489
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9492
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9495
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9496
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9499
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9500
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9501
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9503
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9504
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9505
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9507
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9508
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9509
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9511
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9512
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9514
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9515
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9516
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9517
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9518
caller. (Robert Collins)
9520
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9521
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9524
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9525
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9528
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9530
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9531
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9536
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9537
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9539
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9540
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

6581
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6582
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6583
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the

6587
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6588
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6589
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6591
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6592
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6594
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6597
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6598
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6599
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6601
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6602
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6604
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6605
line options must come before the command name because they
6606
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6607
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6610
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6612
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6613
is available with ``--short``.
6618
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

9856
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
9858
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
9861
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
9862
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
9864
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
9865
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
9866
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
9872
* Faster working tree operations.
9878
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9879
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9880
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9881
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6622
---------------------
6626
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6627
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6629
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6630
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6631
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6632
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6634
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6635
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6636
with the ``--forward`` option.
6638
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6639
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6645
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6646
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6648
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6650
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6651
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6653
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6655
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6656
either read or write mode.
6658
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6660
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6663
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6665
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6666
suggested by LarstiQ.
6668
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6669
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6671
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6674
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6675
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6677
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6678
haven't changed since the previous time.
6680
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6681
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6683
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6685
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6687
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6688
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6690
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6691
options through to an external GNU diff.
6693
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6696
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6702
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6703
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6705
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6711
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6712
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6715
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6716
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6718
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6719
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6721
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6722
under a different version.
6724
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6729
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6731
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6732
Scott James Remnant.
6734
* Better help messages for many commands.
6736
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6737
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6739
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6740
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6742
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6744
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6746
* New AtomicFile class.
6748
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6753
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6754
2.4 is now only recommended.
