:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
19
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
21
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
23
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
24
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
25
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
26
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
28
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
29
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
31
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
36
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
37
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
39
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
41
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
42
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
44
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
46
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
47
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
49
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
50
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
52
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
53
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
55
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
57
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
59
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
60
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
62
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
64
(Martin Pool, #491763)
69
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
70
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
71
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
72
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
73
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
74
(case-sensitive) as false.
75
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
77
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
78
be interpreted as a boolean.
87
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
88
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
91
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
92
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
93
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
94
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
95
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
102
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
103
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
104
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
105
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
107
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
109
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
110
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
111
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
112
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
117
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
118
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
120
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
121
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
129
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
130
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
131
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
132
of these would be welcome.
138
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
139
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
144
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
145
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
146
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
147
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
150
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
151
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
152
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
153
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
155
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
156
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
158
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
159
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
160
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
162
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
163
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
165
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
166
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
168
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
171
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
172
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
173
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
175
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
176
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
177
which is not installed any more" error.
178
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
180
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
181
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
182
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
183
errors after two window resizes.
186
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
187
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
191
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
192
(Martin von Gagern, 387117)
197
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
198
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
199
(Robert Collins, #530265)
201
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
202
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
205
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
208
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
211
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
212
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
213
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
214
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
215
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
217
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
218
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
219
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
221
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
223
(Martin Pool, #553017)
228
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
229
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
235
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
236
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
237
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
238
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
249
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
250
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
252
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
253
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
256
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
257
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
259
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
260
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
262
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
263
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
264
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
265
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
266
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
269
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
270
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
271
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
276
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
277
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
279
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
280
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
281
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
283
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
284
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
285
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
286
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
287
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
289
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
290
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
293
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
294
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
297
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
298
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
299
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
300
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
301
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
302
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
304
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
305
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
308
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
309
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
310
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
313
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
314
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
319
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
320
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
322
* Allow additional arguments to
323
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
325
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
326
(Michal Junák, #511987)
328
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
329
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
330
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
331
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
333
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
336
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
337
(Martin Pool, #331095)
339
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
340
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
342
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
345
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
346
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
347
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
349
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
350
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
351
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
352
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
353
(Robert Collins, #396261)
355
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
356
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
359
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
360
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
362
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
363
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
364
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
366
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
367
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
368
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
370
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
371
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
373
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
375
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
376
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
378
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
379
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
380
(Martin Pool, #528722)
382
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
383
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
384
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
386
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
389
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
390
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
391
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
393
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
394
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
395
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
396
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
398
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
400
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
401
deletion is involved.
402
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
404
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
405
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
406
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
408
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
409
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
410
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
412
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
413
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
415
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
416
the debugger won't kill the session.
417
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
419
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
420
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
422
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
423
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
424
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
426
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
427
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
432
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
433
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
436
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
437
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
439
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
440
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
442
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
443
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
444
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
445
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
447
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
448
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
449
to be done separately.
450
(Martin Pool, #507710)
452
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
453
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
456
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
457
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
459
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
460
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
462
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
465
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
471
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
472
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
474
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
475
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
476
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
478
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
479
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
480
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
481
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
484
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
485
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
487
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
488
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
490
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
491
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
497
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
498
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
499
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
501
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
504
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
505
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
508
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
509
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
510
dependency regressions.
513
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
514
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
516
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
517
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
519
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
520
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
521
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
522
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
523
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
524
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
529
:2.1.2: NOT RELEASED YET
534
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
535
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
537
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
539
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
541
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
542
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
543
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
544
errors after two window resizes.
550
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
551
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
552
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
553
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
555
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
563
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
564
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
569
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
570
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
571
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
572
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
574
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
575
(Martin Pool, #331095)
577
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
579
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
580
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
582
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
583
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
585
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
587
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
588
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
589
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
591
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
592
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
593
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
594
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
595
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
597
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
598
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
600
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
601
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
602
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
607
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
609
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
611
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
612
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
617
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
618
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
619
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
620
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)

This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team

has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
631
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
633
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
634
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
635
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
636
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
637
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
638
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
640
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
645
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
648
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
649
(Martin Pool, #513432)
651
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
652
when it encounters conflicts.
653
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
655
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
656
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
658
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
659
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
660
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
661
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
662
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
663
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
665
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
666
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
667
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
672
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
678
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
679
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
682
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
683
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
686
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
687
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
689
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
690
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
691
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
692
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
693
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
694
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
695
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
696
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
698
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
705
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
706
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
707
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
709
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
714
* The ``remove_index`` method of
715
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
716
argument. This argument was always ignored.
717
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
722
:Codename: after the bubbles
723
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
725
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
726
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
731
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
732
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
733
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
734
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
735
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
736
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
737
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
743
:Codename: the 'new' stable
744
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
746
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
747
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
748
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
749
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
750
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
751
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
752
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
753
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
754
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
760
* Add bug information to log output when available.
761
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
763
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
764
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
767
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
768
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
769
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
772
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
773
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
775
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
776
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
778
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
779
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
780
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
782
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
783
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
784
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
787
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
788
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
789
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
791
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
792
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
793
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
794
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
795
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
796
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
798
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
799
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
800
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
801
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
802
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
807
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
808
user-specified commit message editor.
809
(Martin Pool, #504842)
811
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
812
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
813
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
815
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
816
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
817
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
819
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
820
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
822
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
823
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
824
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
825
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
826
another process already removed the file.
827
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
829
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
830
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
832
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
833
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
834
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
836
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
837
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
839
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
842
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
845
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
846
(Martin Pool, #320035)
848
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
849
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
850
depended on this behaviour.
851
(Martin Pool, #499757)
853
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
854
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
855
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
856
should appear up-to-date.)
857
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
862
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
863
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
864
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
865
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
867
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
868
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
870
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
871
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
872
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
874
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
875
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
876
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
878
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
881
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
882
Bazaar is doing network IO.
888
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
889
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
891
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
892
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
894
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
895
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
897
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
898
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
900
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
901
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
902
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
904
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
907
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
908
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
914
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
917
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
918
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
919
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
920
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
922
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
923
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
924
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
926
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
927
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
929
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
930
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
931
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
932
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
934
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
940
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
941
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
942
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
944
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
945
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
946
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
947
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
949
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
950
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
955
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
956
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
957
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
958
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
959
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
961
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
962
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
963
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
964
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
965
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
966
suite. (Robert Collins)
968
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
969
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
970
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
972
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
973
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
979
:2.0.6: NOT RELEASED YET
984
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
985
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
986
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
988
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
989
both working tree and branch.
990
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
992
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
993
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
994
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
996
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
997
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
998
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
999
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1000
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1007
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
1008
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
1009
earlier 2.0 releases.
1014
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1015
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1017
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1018
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1019
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1020
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1021
another process already removed the file.
1022
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1024
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1025
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1027
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1029
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
1030
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
1031
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
1033
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
1035
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
1036
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
1038
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
1039
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
1040
``UnboundLocalError``.
1041
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1043
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
1044
version number along with rest of the help text.
1045
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
1047
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
1049
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
1054
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
1055
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
1057
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1058
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1064
:Codename: smooth sailing
1067
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
1068
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
1069
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
1070
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
1076
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
1077
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
1079
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
1080
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
1081
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
1082
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
1084
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
1085
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
1086
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
1087
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
1088
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
1090
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
1091
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
1092
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
1094
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
1095
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
1096
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
1097
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
1099
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
1100
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
1102
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
1103
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
1104
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
1105
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
1106
(Martin Pool, #456077)
1108
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
1109
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
1110
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
1111
users, rather than something nicer.
1112
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
1114
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
1115
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
1117
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
1118
build. (there is still the distutils bug
1119
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
1121
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
1122
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
1123
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
1125
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
1126
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
1127
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
1128
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
1129
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
1131
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
1132
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
1133
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
1138
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
1139
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
1140
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
1141
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
1150
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
1151
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
1152
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
1153
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
1154
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
1155
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
1158
Compatibility Breaks
1159
********************
1161
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
1162
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
1163
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
1164
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
1165
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
1170
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
1171
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
1173
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
1174
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
1176
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
1177
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
1179
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
1180
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
1181
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
1182
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
1186
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
1187
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
1195
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
1196
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
1197
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
1199
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
1200
and issues a warning.
1201
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
1203
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
1205
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
1206
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
1208
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
1209
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
1210
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
1211
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
1213
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
1215
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
1216
(Robert Collins, #84659)
1218
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
1220
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
1221
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
1223
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
1225
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
1226
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1228
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
1229
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
1230
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
1231
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on

(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
1234
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
1236
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
1237
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
1239
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
1240
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
1241
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
1243
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
1244
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
1245
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
1246
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
1248
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
1249
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
1250
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
1252
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
1253
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
1254
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
1255
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
1257
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
1258
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
1259
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
1265
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1267
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
1268
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1270
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
1271
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
1272
(John Arbash Meinel)
1274
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
1275
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
1278
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
1279
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
1280
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
1281
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
1282
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
1287
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
1293
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
1295
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
1296
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
1297
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
1303
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
1304
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
1305
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
1306
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1308
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
1309
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
1310
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
1311
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
1312
(John Arbash Meinel)
1314
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
1315
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
1316
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
1317
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
1318
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
1319
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1324
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
1325
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
1331
:Codename: little italy
1335
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
1336
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
1342
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
1343
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
1344
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1346
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
1347
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
1349
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
1350
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
1351
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
1352
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
1354
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1360
:Codename: after sprint recovery
1361
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
1363
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
1364
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
1365
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
1366
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
1368
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
1369
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
1370
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
1371
formats for Remote objects.
1377
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
1378
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
1383
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
1385
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
1387
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
1388
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
1390
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1392
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
1393
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
1394
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
1395
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
1396
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
1397
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
1399
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
1400
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
1401
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
1402
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
1404
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
1405
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
1407
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
1408
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
1410
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
1411
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
1412
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
1413
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
1414
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
1415
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
1416
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1418
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
1419
(Alexander Belchenko)
1421
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
1422
Python level. (Martin Pool)
1427
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
1429
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
1430
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
1431
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
1433
(Martin Pool, 493944)
1438
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
1439
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
1440
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
1445
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
1446
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
1448
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
1449
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
1451
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
1452
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
1454
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
1455
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
1457
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1458
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
1459
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
1460
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
1462
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
1463
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
1465
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1466
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
1467
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
1468
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
1470
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
1471
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
1472
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
1473
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
1480
:Codename: a load off my mind
1481
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
1483
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
1484
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
1486
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
1487
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
1488
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
1489
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
1490
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
1493
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
1494
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
1495
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
1496
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
1497
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
1498
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
1503
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
1504
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
1506
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
1507
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
1508
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
1509
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
1511
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
1512
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
1514
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
1515
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
1516
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
1517
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
1519
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
1520
files. (Aaron Bentley)
1522
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
1523
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
1528
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
1529
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
1530
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
1531
(John Arbash Meinel)
1533
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
1534
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
1535
(John Arbash Meinel)
1540
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1541
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1546
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
1548
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
1549
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
1555
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
1556
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
1557
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
1558
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
1559
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
1560
(John Arbash Meinel)
1562
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
1563
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
1564
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
1565
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
1566
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
1567
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
1568
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
1569
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
1570
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
1572
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
1573
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
1574
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
1575
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
1576
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
1577
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
1578
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1580
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
1581
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
1582
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
1583
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
1589
:Codename: after the scare
1592
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
1593
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
1594
changes or features.
1599
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
1600
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
1602
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
1605
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1607
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
1608
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
1609
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
1611
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
1612
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
1614
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
1615
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
1617
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
1618
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
1623
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
1624
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
1629
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1630
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1636
:Codename: While the cat is away
1637
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
1639
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
1640
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
1641
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
1642
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
1643
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
1644
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
1645
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
1647
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
1648
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
1649
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
1650
error handling during unlocking.
1656
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
1659
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
1660
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
1661
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
1662
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
1663
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
1664
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
1666
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
1667
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
1668
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
1670
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
1671
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
1674
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
1675
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
1676
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
1678
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
1679
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
1682
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
1683
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
1684
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
1689
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1690
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1691
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1692
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1693
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1694
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1695
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1697
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1698
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1699
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1701
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1702
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1703
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1704
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1706
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1707
merges are present in the working tree.
1708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1710
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1711
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1713
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1714
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1716
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1719
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1720
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1721
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1723
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1724
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1726
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1727
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1729
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1732
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1733
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
1734
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
1739
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
1740
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
1741
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
1743
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
1744
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
1745
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
1746
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
1747
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
1748
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
1749
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
1750
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
1752
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
1753
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
1754
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
1755
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
1756
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
1761
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1763
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1764
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1769
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
1770
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1772
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
1773
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
1775
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
1776
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
1777
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
1779
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
1782
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
1783
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
1784
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
1785
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
1786
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
1788
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
1790
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
1796
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
1797
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
1800
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
1801
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
1802
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
1803
(John Arbash Meinel)
1805
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
1806
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
1812
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
1813
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
1815
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
1816
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
1818
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
1819
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
1822
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
1824
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
1826
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
1827
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
1829
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
1830
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
1831
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1833
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
1834
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
1835
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
1836
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
1837
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
1839
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
1840
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
1842
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
1843
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
1849
:Codename: Stability First
1852
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
1853
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
1854
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
1860
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1861
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1862
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1864
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
1865
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
1866
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
1868
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
1869
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
1870
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
1872
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
1873
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
1875
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
1876
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
1877
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
1878
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
1879
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
1881
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
1882
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
1884
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
1885
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
1886
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
1887
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
1889
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
1890
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
1891
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
1893
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
1894
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
1895
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
1896
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
1897
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
1898
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
1899
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
1901
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
1902
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1904
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
1905
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
1906
to download the entire cix file many times.
1907
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
1909
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
1910
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
1915
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1917
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
1925
:Codename: Instant Karma
1927
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
1928
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
1929
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
1930
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
1931
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
1934
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
1935
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
1937
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1938
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
1939
months or until the following stable release.
1941
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
1942
******************************
1944
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
1945
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
1946
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
1947
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1953
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
1958
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
1959
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
1960
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
1965
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1966
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1967
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1968
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1969
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1970
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1971
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1973
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
1974
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
1975
(Robert Collins, #416732)
1977
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
1978
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
1980
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
1981
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
1982
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1984
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1985
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1987
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
1988
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
1989
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
1990
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
1991
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
1992
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
1993
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
1995
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
1996
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
1997
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
1998
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
1999
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2000
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2002
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2003
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2004
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2006
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2007
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2008
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2010
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2011
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2012
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2014
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2015
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2017
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2018
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2019
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
2020
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
2025
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
2026
older smart servers.
2027
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
2029
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2030
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2032
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
2033
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
2034
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
2036
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
2037
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
2038
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
2040
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
2041
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2047
:Codename: no worries
2048
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
2050
Compatibility Breaks
2051
********************
2053
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
2054
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
2055
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
2056
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
2057
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
2059
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
2060
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
2061
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
2062
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
2067
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
2068
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2073
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2074
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2076
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
2077
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
2078
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
2079
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
2080
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
2082
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
2083
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
2084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
2086
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2087
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2089
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
2090
(Martin Pool, #286871)
2092
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
2093
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
2094
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
2096
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
2097
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
2098
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
2099
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
2104
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2105
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2106
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2108
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
2109
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
2110
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
2111
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
2113
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
2115
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
2116
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2118
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
2119
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2121
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
2122
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
2123
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
2125
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
2126
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
2127
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
2128
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
2129
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
2130
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
2135
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
2141
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2142
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2143
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2151
:Codename: nein nein nein!
2154
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
2155
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
2156
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
2157
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
2158
pushing to older servers.
2163
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
2164
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
2165
(Martin Pool, #415508)
2167
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
2168
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
2169
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
2174
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
2175
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2177
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
2178
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2183
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2184
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2185
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2187
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
2188
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
2189
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
2191
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
2192
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
2193
should be used. (Robert Collins)
2198
Compatibility Breaks
2199
********************
2201
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
2202
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
2203
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
2204
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
2205
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
2213
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
2214
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
2215
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
2216
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
2217
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
2219
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2220
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2222
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
2223
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
2225
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2226
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2228
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
2229
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
2230
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
2231
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
2233
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
2234
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
2235
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
2237
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
2238
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
2240
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
2241
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
2242
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
2243
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
2248
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2249
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2250
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2252
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
2253
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
2254
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
2255
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
2256
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
2258
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
2259
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
2260
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
2261
(John Arbash Meinel)
2272
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
2273
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
2274
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
2275
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
2276
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
2277
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
2279
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
2280
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
2281
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
2282
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
2284
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
2285
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
2286
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
2287
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
2288
(John Arbash Meinel)
2290
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
2291
protocols. (Robert Collins)
2293
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
2294
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
2295
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
2296
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
2302
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
2303
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
2311
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
2313
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
2314
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
2315
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
2316
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
2317
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
2318
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
2320
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2321
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
2322
or until the following stable release.
2324
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
2329
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
2330
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
2332
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
2333
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
2334
(Martin Pool, #391411)
2339
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
2340
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
2341
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
2343
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
2344
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
2345
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
2346
(Martin Pool, #123688)
2348
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
2349
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
2350
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
2351
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
2353
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
2354
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
2356
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
2357
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
2358
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
2359
(Robert Collins, #282402)
2361
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
2362
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
2364
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
2365
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
2367
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
2368
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
2369
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
2370
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
2371
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
2373
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
2374
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
2375
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
2377
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
2378
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
2379
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
2380
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
2381
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
2383
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
2384
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
2386
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
2387
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
2388
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
2390
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
2391
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
2392
(Martin Pool, #408201)
2394
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
2395
(Martin Pool, #403523)
2397
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
2398
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
2399
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
2401
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
2402
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
2404
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
2405
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
2407
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
2408
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
2410
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
2411
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
2412
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
2414
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
2415
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
2416
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
2418
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2420
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
2421
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
2423
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
2424
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
2425
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
2426
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
2427
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
2428
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
2430
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2431
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2432
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2434
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
2435
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
2436
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
2437
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
2439
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
2440
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
2441
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
2442
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
2443
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
2445
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
2446
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
2447
(Robert Collins, #187207)
2452
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
2455
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
2456
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
2457
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
2458
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
2460
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
2461
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
2462
(John Arbash Meinel)
2467
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2472
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
2473
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
2474
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
2475
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
2476
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
2477
passwords. (Martin Pool)
2479
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
2482
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
2485
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
2489
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
2490
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
2495
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
2496
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
2497
paths. (Robert Collins)
2499
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
2500
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
2502
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
2503
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
2504
disk. (Robert Collins)
2506
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
2507
it. (Robert Collins)
2509
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
2510
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
2511
(Alexander Belchenko)
2517
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
2518
(Martin Pool, #409684)
2520
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
2521
(Martin Pool, #408199)
2523
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
2524
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
2525
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
2526
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
2527
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
2528
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
2531
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
2532
#######################
2537
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2538
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2539
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2544
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
2545
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
2549
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
2550
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
2553
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
2554
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
2555
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
2556
annoying progress bar artifacts.
2559
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
2560
*********************************
2562
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
2563
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
2564
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
2566
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
2567
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
2568
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
2570
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
2571
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
2574
Compatibility Breaks
2575
********************
2577
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
2578
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
2579
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
2580
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
2586
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2587
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2588
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2589
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2591
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2592
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
2593
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2595
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2596
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
2597
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
2599
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
2601
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2602
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2603
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2604
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2610
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
2611
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
2613
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
2614
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
2615
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
2616
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
2618
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
2619
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
2621
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2622
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2623
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2625
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
2626
(Martin Pool, #321935)
2628
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
2629
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
2631
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
2632
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
2634
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
2635
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
2636
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
2638
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
2641
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
2642
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
2644
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
2645
of a remote repository.
2646
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
2648
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
2649
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
2652
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
2654
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
2656
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
2657
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
2659
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
2660
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
2662
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
2663
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
2664
(Martin Pool, #339385)
2666
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
2667
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
2668
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
2669
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
2670
(John Arbash Meinel)
2672
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
2673
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
2674
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
2676
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
2677
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
2678
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
2679
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
2680
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
2681
(Robert Collins, #376243)
2683
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
2684
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
2685
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
2686
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
2687
activity display respectively.
2688
(Martin Pool, #340347)
2690
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
2691
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
2693
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
2696
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
2697
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
2703
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
2704
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
2705
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
2706
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
2708
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
2709
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
2710
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
2711
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
2714
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
2715
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
2717
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
2718
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
2719
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
2720
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
2721
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
2722
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2724
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
2725
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
2726
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
2727
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
2729
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
2730
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
2731
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
2732
(John Arbash Meinel)
2735
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
2736
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
2737
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
2738
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
2744
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
2745
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
2746
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
2747
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2749
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
2750
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
2751
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
2753
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
2756
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
2757
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
2759
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
2760
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
2761
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2763
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
2764
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
2765
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
2766
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2768
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
2774
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
2775
formatting in the user reference.
2776
(Martin Pool, #249908)
2778
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
2784
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
2787
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
2788
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
2789
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
2795
:Released: 2009-06-26
2797
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
2798
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
2799
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
2802
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
2803
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
2804
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
2806
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
2807
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
2812
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
2813
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2815
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
2816
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
2817
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
2819
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
2820
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
2821
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
2822
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
2823
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
2824
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
2825
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2827
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
2828
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
2829
converted data. (Robert Collins)
2831
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
2832
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
2833
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
2835
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
2836
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
2837
that. (Robert Collins)
2839
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
2840
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
2841
repository. (Robert Collins)
2843
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
2844
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
2845
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
2846
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
2857
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
2858
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
2859
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
2861
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for

that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
2883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
2889
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
2890
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
2891
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
2892
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
2893
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
2894
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
2897
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
2898
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
2899
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
2900
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
2902
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
2903
and more concisely repacks the full history.
2905
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
2906
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
2908
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
2909
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
2910
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2912
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
2913
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
2919
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
2920
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
2921
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2923
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
2924
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
2925
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
2926
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
2927
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
2929
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
2930
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
2931
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
2932
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
2934
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
2935
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
2941
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
2942
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
2943
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
2944
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2950
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
2951
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
2953
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
2954
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
2956
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
2957
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
2958
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
2960
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
2961
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
2963
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
2964
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
2965
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
2967
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
2968
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
2969
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
2970
(John Arbash Meinel)
2972
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
2973
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
2975
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
2976
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
2978
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
2979
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
2981
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
2982
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
2983
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
2984
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
2985
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
2986
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
2988
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
2990
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
2991
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
2993
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
2994
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
2996
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
2997
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
2998
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
2999
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3000
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3002
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3003
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3004
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3005
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3010
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
3011
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
3012
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
3017
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
3019
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
3020
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
3021
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3023
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
3024
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
3025
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
3027
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
3028
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3030
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
3031
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
3036
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
3037
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3042
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
3043
(Martin Pool, #386180)
3045
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
3047
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3049
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)

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

Compatibility Breaks
3083
********************
3085
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
3086
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
3087
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
3088
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
3093
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3094
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3097
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
3098
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
3099
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
3100
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3102
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
3103
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
3104
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
3105
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
3107
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3108
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3111
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
3112
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
3113
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3118
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
3119
server. (Jonathan Lange)
3121
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
3122
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
3124
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
3125
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
3126
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
3128
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
3133
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
3134
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
3136
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
3138
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
3139
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
3141
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
3142
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
3144
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
3145
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
3147
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
3148
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
3149
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
3150
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
3152
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
3153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
3155
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3156
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3158
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
3159
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
3161
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.

(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
3164
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
3165
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
3167
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
3170
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
3171
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3173
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
3174
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
3175
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
3176
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
3177
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
3178
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
3179
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
3180
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
3181
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
3182
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
3183
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
3184
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
3185
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
3186
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
3188
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
3189
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
3190
(Robert Collins, #368921)
3192
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
3193
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
3201
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
3202
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
3203
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
3205
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
3206
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
3207
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
3208
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
3209
(Alexander Belchenko)
3214
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
3215
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
3216
encoding. (Robert Collins)
3218
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
3219
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
3222
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
3223
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
3224
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
3225
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
3226
configuration. (Robert Collins)
3228
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
3229
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
3230
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
3232
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
3233
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
3234
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
3235
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
3237
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
3238
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
3239
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
3241
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
3242
backwards. (Robert Collins)
3244
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
3245
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
3246
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3247
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
3249
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
3250
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
3251
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3253
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
3254
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
3256
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
3257
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
3258
branches. (Robert Collins)
3260
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
3261
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3263
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
3268
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
3269
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
3320
********************
3322
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
3323
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
3324
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
3325
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
3326
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3328
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
3329
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
3330
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
3332
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
3333
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
3334
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
3335
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
3336
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3341
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
3342
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
3343
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
3344
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
3345
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
3348
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
3351
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
3352
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3354
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
3355
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
3356
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
3357
directory, not just the directory object itself.
3358
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
3360
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
3361
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
3363
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
3366
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
3367
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
3368
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
3369
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
3372
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
3373
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
3374
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
3375
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
3376
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3378
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
3379
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
3382
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
3388
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
3389
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
3390
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
3392
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
3393
the data when the target repository does not need topological
3394
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
3395
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
3396
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3398
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
3399
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
3402
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
3403
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
3404
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
3406
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
3409
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
3412
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
3413
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3415
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3416
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3418
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
3419
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
3421
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
3422
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
3425
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
3426
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
3427
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3429
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
3430

* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
3435
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
3436
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
3437
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
3439
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
3440
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
3441
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
3442
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
3443
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
3444
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
3445
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
3446
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
3447
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3449
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
3455
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3456
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3457
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3458
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3459
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3460
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3461
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3463
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3464
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3466
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
3467
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
3468
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
3469
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
3471
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
3472
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
3474
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
3476
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3479
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3480
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3481
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3483
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3484
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3486
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
3487
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
3489
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
3490
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
3491
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
3493
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
3494
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
3495
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
3496
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3498
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3500
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
3501
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
3503
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
3504
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
3505
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
3506
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
3507
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
3509
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3510
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3511
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3512
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3513
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3514
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3515
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3517
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
3518
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
3520
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
3521
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
3524
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
3525
(James Westby, #341558)
3527
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
3528
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
3530
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
3531
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
3536
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
3538
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
3540
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
3541
(James Westby, #336998)
3546
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
3549
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
3550
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
3553
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
3554
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
3557
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
3558
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
3559
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
3561
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
3562
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
3563
Meinel, Robert Collins)
3565
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
3566
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
3567
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
3568
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
3571
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
3572
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
3575
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
3578
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
3579
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3581
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
3582
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
3583
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
3584
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3586
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3587
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3588
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3593
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3594
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3595
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3596
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3597
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3599
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3602
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3603
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3604
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3605
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
3611
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3612
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3614
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
3615
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3617
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
3618
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
3619
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3621
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
3622
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
3623
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
3624
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3626
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
3627
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
3628
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
3629
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3631
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
3632
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
3633
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3635
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
3636
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
3637
dependency. (Robert Collins)
3639
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
3640
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
3641
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3643
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
3644
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
3647
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
3648
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
3649
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
3651
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
3652
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3654
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
3655
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
3656
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3658
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
3659
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
3662
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
3663
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
3664
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3666
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
3667
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
3668
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
3669
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
3670
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
3672
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
3673
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
3674
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
3675
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3677
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
3678
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
3679
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
3680
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3682
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
3683
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
3684
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3686
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
3687
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
3690
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
3691
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
3692
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
3694
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
3695
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
3696
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
3697
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
3698
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
3700
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
3701
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
3702
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
3705
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
3706
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
3707
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
3708
desired. (Robert Collins)
3710
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
3711
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
3712
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
3713
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3715
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
3716
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
3717
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
3729
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
3730
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
3731
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
3733
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
3734
*****************************
3736
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
3737
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
3738
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
3739
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
3740
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
3741
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
3747
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
3748
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
3749
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3751
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
3752
********************************
3754
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
3755
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
3756
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
3761
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
3762
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
3764
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
3765
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
3767
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
3768
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
3770
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3772
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
3773
*********************************
3775
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3776
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3777
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3779
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3780
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3782
Compatibility Breaks
3783
********************
3785
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
3786
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
3787
command may need to be adjusted.
3788
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3793
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
3794
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
3795
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
3797
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
3800
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
3801
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
3802
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
3805
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
3806
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
3808
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
3809
(John Arbash Meinel)
3811
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
3812
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
3814
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
3816
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
3817
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
3820
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
3826
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
3827
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
3828
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
3829
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
3830
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
3831
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
3832
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
3833
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
3836
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
3837
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
3839
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
3840
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
3841
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
3843
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
3844
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
3846
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
3847
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
3848
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
3851
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
3852
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
3853
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3855
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
3856
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
3857
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
3858
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3860
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
3863
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
3864
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
3866
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
3867
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
3869
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
3870
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
3871
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
3873
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
3878
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
3879
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
3881
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
3882
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
3883
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
3885
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
3886
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
3887
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
3889
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
3890
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
3892
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
3893
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
3896
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
3897
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
3898
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
3900
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
3901
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
3903
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
3904
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
3906
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
3907
(James Westby, #174539)
3909
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3910
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3912
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
3913
error branching from old repositories.
3914
(Martin Pool, #321695)
3916
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
3917
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
3919
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
3920
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
3921
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
3922
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3924
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
3925
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
3928
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
3929
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
3931
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
3932
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
3934
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
3935
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
3936
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3938
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
3939
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
3941
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
3942
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
3947
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
3948
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
3949
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
3952
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
3953
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
3955
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
3956
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
3961
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
3962
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
3963
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
3964
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
3965
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
3967
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
3968
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3970
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
3971
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
3972
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
3973
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
3974
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
3975
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
3977
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
3978
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
3980
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
3981
"author" argument being deprecated.
3983
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
3985
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
3986
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
3987
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
3988
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
3990
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
3991
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
3992
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
3994
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
3995
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
3996
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
3998
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
3999
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4001
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4002
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4003
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4004
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4009
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4010
free of virtual file system methods.
4011
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4013
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4014
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4015
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4017
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4018
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4019
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4020
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4021
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4022
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4024
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4026
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4027
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4029
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
4030
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
4031
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
4032
stream the operation.
4033
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4035
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
4036
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
4038
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
4039
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
4040
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
4041
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
4042
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4044
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
4045
branch object. (Robert Collins)
4047
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
4048
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
4049
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
4051
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
4052
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
4055
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
4058
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
4059
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
4060
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4062
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
4063
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
4064
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4066
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
4067
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
4068
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4070
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
4071
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
4072
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4074
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
4075
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
4076
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
4077
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
4078
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
4080
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
4081
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
4082
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
4083
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
4084
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
4085
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
4087
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
4088
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
4089
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
4090
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
4091
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4093
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
4094
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4096
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
4097
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
4099
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
4100
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
4101
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
4102
to access private data in record to obtain content more
4103
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4105
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
4106
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
4113
:Codename: 1234567890
4115
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
4117
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
4118
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
4119
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
4120
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
4121
by showing the rate of network IO.
4123
Changes from RC1 to Final
4124
*************************
4126
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
4127
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
4129
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
4130
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4132
Compatibility Breaks
4133
********************
4135
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
4136
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
4137
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
4138
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
4140
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
4141
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
4142
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
4145
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
4146
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
4147
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
4148
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4150
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
4151
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
4152
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
4155
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4160
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
4161
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
4162
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
4165
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
4166
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
4167
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
4169
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
4170
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
4171
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
4172
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
4173
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
4174
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
4175
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
4176
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
4177
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
4183
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
4186
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
4189
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
4190
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
4191
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
4193
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
4194
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
4195
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
4196
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
4197
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
4199
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
4200
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
4202
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
4203
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
4204
level for better precision.
4207
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
4208
rules. (Marius Kruger)
4210
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
4211
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
4212
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
4214
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
4215
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
4216
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
4219
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
4220
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
4221
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
4226
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
4228
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
4230
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
4231
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
4232
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
4234
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
4235
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
4236
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
4237
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
4238
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
4239
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
4241
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
4242
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
4244
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
4245
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
4247
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
4248
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4249
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4251
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
4252
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
4253
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
4256
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
4257
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
4259
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
4260
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
4261
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
4262
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
4264
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
4265
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
4267
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4269
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
4274
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4279
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
4280
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
4283
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
4284
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4286
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
4287
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4289
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
4290
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4292
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
4293
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
4294
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
4295
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
4297
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
4298
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
4299
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
4304
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
4305
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
4306
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
4307
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
4308
compile buffers, are such an example).
4311
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
4312
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
4315
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
4316
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
4317
efficient way of doing the mapping.
4320
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
4321
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
4323
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
4324
formatters to retrict the output.
4331
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4332
:Released: 2009-01-19
4334
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
4335
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
4336
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
4337
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
4338
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
4340
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
4341
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
4344
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
4345
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
4350
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
4353
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
4354
(John Arbash Meinel)
4361
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4362
:Released: 2009-01-09
4367
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
4368
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4373
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
4374
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
4376
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
4377
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
4378
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
4379
implement other plugins.
4382
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
4388
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
4389
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
4391
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
4392
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
4394
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
4395
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
4396
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
4397
processes which drag in shell extensions.
4400
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
4401
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
4402
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
4403
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
4404
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
4406
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
4407
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
4408
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
4409
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
4410
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
4415
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
4416
control directory. (#139691)
4418
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
4419
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
4421
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
4422
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
4424
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
4425
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
4426
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
4428
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
4429
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
4431
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
4432
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4433
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4435
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
4436
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
4438
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
4441
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
4442
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
4443
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
4445
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
4446
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
4448
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
4449
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
4450
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
4452
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
4453
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
4454
in the appropriate sections.
4455
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
4457
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
4458
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
4459
(John Arbash meinel)
4461
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
4462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
4464
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
4465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
4467
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
4468
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4470
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
4471
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
4472
work better with how it splits its requests.
4473
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
4475
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4476
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4477
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4479
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
4482
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
4484
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
4485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
4487
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
4493
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
4494
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
4495
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
4501
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
4502
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
4503
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
4504
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4506
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
4507
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
4509
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
4510
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
4511
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
4512
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
4514
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
4515
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
4516
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
4517
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4522
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
4523
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
4524
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
4526
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
4527
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
4528
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
4529
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
4531
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
4532
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
4533
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
4539
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
4540
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
4541
(John Arbash Meinel)
4543
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
4544
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
4545
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
4546
(John Arbash Meinel)
4548
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
4549
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
4550
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
4551
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
4553
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
4554
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
4555
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
4557
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
4558
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
4559
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
4560
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
4562
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
4563
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
4564
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
4565
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
4566
(John Arbash Meinel)
4568
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
4569
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
4571
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
4572
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
4573
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
4575
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
4576
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
4577
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
4578
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
4580
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
4581
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
4582
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
4583
(John Arbash Meinel)
4585
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4586
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4587
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4588
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4589
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4590
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4591
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4593
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4594
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

:Released: 2008-12-05
4603
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4604
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4605
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4606
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4609
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
4614
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
4615
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
4616
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
4617
(Martin Pool, #303856)
4619
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
4620
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
4621
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
4622
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
4623
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
4629
:Released: 2008-11-28
4631
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
4632
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
4633
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
4634
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
4635
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
4640
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
4641
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4643
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
4649
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
4650
history just to set the last revision info.
4651
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4653
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
4654
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
4655
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
4656
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4658
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
4659
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
4660
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
4661
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
4662
(John Arbash Meinel)
4664
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
4665
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4667
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
4668
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
4669
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
4670
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
4671
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
4673
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
4674
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
4675
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
4676
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
4681
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
4682
(Martin Pool, #289148)
4684
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
4685
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
4687
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
4688
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
4689
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
4690
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
4692
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
4693
starting with a dotted revno.
4694
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
4696
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
4697
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
4698
(Martin Pool, #288751)
4700
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4701
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4702
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4704
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
4705
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
4706
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
4708
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
4709
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
4710
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
4711
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
4713
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
4714
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
4715
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
4717
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
4718
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
4723
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
4724
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
4725
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
4726
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
4728
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
4729
have changed incompatibly.
4731
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
4732
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
4733
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
4734
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
4735
don't need to change.
4737
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
4738
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
4743
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
4744
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
4746
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
4752
:Released: 2008-11-07
4754
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
4755
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
4756
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
4757
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
4758
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
4759
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
4764
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
4765
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
4767
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
4769
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
4770
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
4771
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
4777
:Released: 2008-10-31
4782
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
4783
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
4785
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
4786
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
4787
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
4788
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
4793
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
4794
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
4795
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
4796
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
4797
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
4798
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
4800
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
4801
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4803
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
4804
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
4805
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
4807
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
4808
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
4809
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
4812
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
4813
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
4815
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
4816
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
4818
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
4819
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
4821
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
4822
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
4823
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
4824
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
4825
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
4826
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
4827
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
4828
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
4829
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
4830
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4835
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
4836
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
4838
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
4839
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
4841
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
4842
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
4843
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
4845
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
4846
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
4847
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
4849
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
4850
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
4851
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
4853
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
4854
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
4855
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
4856
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
4857
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
4858
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
4860
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
4861
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
4863
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
4864
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
4866
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
4867
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
4868
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
4869
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
4870
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4872
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4873
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4874
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4875
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4880
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
4885
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
4890
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
4891
configuration of authetication credentials.
4897
:Released: 2008-10-16
4899
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
4900
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
4901
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
4902
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
4903
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
4908
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
4909
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
4914
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
4915
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
4921
:Released: 2008-10-07
4926
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
4927
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
4928
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
4929
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
4930
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4932
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
4933
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
4935
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
4936
server. (Marius Kruger)
4938
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
4939
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
4940
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
4941
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
4942
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
4943
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
4948
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
4949
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
4950
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
4952
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
4957
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
4958
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
4959
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
4960
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
4962
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
4963
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
4966
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
4967
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
4970
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
4973
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
4975
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
4976
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
4978
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
4979
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
4981
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
4982
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
4983
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
4984
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
4985
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
4986
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
4987
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
4988
operations. (Robert Collins)
4990
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
4992
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
4993
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
4994
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
4999
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
5000
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
5001
(Martin Pool, #279381)
5003
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5004
repository now preserves the repository format.
5005
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5007
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
5008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
5010
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
5011
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
5013
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
5015
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
5017
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5020
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
5021
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
5022
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
5024
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
5025
is in a different repository than the current one.
5026
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
5028
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
5029
(David Futcher, #242106)
5031
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
5032
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5034
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
5035
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
5036
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
5037
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
5039
* Trivial documentation fix.
5040
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
5042
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5043
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5044
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
5045
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
5050
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
5055
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
5056
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
5057
to use. (Robert Collins)
5059
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
5060
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
5061
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
5063
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
5064
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
5065
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
5066
they want. (Robert Collins)
5071
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
5072
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
5073
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
5075
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
5076
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
5079
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
5082
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
5083
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
5085
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
5091
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
5092
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
5094
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
5095
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
5096
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
5098
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
5099
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
5100
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
5102
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
5103
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5105
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
5106
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
5108
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
5109
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
5111
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
5112
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
5113
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
5114
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

:Released: 2008-09-24
5132
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
5133
file paths when we encounter complex history.
5138
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
5139
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
5140
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
5141
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

:Released: 2008-09-23
5150
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
5151
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
5152
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
5153
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
5154
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
5155
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
5160
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
5161
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
5162
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
5168
:Released: 2008-09-17
5170
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
5171
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
5172
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
5173
connect to the stacked-on location.
5178
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5179
repository now preserves the repository format.
5180
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5182
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
5183
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
5185
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
5188
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5195
:Released: 2008-09-09
5197
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
5198
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
5199
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
5200
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
5201
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
5202
it in a future repository format.
5208
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
5211
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
5212
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
5213
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
5215
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
5216
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
5217
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
5222
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
5223
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
5225
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
5230
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
5231
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
5234
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
5235
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
5237
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
5238
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
5241
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
5242
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
5243
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
5244
(John Arbash Meinel)
5246
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
5247
(Martin Pool, #261315)
5249
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
5250
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
5251
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
5252
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
5253
(John Arbash Meinel)
5255
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
5256
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
5257
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
5258
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
5259
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
5260
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
5261
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
5262
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
5263
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
5264
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5269
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
5270
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
5272
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
5273
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
5274
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
5276
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
5277
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
5278
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
5280
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
5281
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
5282
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
5283
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
5284
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
5285
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
5287
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
5288
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
5290
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
5291
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
5293
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
5294
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
5295
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
5296
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
5297
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
5298
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
5300
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
5301
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
5303
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
5304
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
5306
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
5307
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
5308
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
5309
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
5311
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
5312
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
5314
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
5315
assuming the host name is ascii.
5316
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
5318
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
5319
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
5324
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5329
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
5331
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
5332
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
5333
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
5336
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
5337
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5339
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
5340
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5342
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
5343
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5348
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
5349
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
5350
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
5351
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
5353
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
5357
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
5358
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
5359
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5361
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
5367
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
5368
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
5371
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
5372
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
5373
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
5374
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
5375
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5377
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
5378
is unknown in both source and target.
5379
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
5381
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
5382
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
5383
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
5384
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5386
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
5387
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
5388
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
5389
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5395
:Released: 2008-09-05
5397
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
5398
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
5399
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
5405
:Released: 2008-09-03
5410
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
5411
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
5412
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
5413
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
5419
:Released: 2008-08-29
5421
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
5422
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
5423
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
5424
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
5425
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
5426
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
5427
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
5428
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
5429
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
5430
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
5431
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
5432
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
5437
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
5438
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
5439
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
5440
start of the string (causing more copies).
5441
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
5442
especially for projects with large files.
5443
(John Arbash Meinel)
5445
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
5446
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
5447
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
5448
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
5449
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
5451
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
5452
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
5453
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
5454
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
5455
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
5464
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
5465
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
5466
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
5467
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
5468
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
5469
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
5470
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
5471
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
5472
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
5478
:Released: 2008-08-19
5483
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
5484
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
5485
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
5486
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
5487
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
5493
:Released: 2008-08-18
5498
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
5499
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
5500
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
5506
:Released: 2008-08-14
5511
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
5512
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
5518
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
5519
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
5520
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
5526
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
5527
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
5528
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
5530
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
5531
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
5532
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
5533
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
5534
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
5535
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
5536
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
5542
:Released: 2008-08-13
5544
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
5550
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
5551
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
5553
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
5554
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
5557
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
5558
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
5559
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
5560
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
5561
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
5563
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
5564
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5566
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
5567
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
5569
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
5570
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
5572
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
5573
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
5574
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
5575
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
5576
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
5577
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
5583
:Released: 2008-08-06
5585
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
5586
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
5587
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
5588
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
5589
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
5594
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
5595
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
5596
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
5601
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
5602
check. (Daniel Watkins)
5604
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
5605
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
5607
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
5608
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
5609
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5611
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
5614
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
5615
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
5616
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
5617
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
5618
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
5619
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
5620
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5622
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
5623
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
5624
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
5629
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
5630
physical repository boundaries.
5631
(Martin Pool, #252428)
5633
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
5634
(Martin Pool, #206258)
5636
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
5637
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
5640
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
5643
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
5644
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
5645
that Python is running from.
5646
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
5648
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
5649
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
5650
(Robert Collins, #150438)
5652
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
5653
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
5655
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
5656
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
5657
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
5659
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
5660
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
5662
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
5663
(James Westby, #248448)
5668
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
5669
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
5670
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
5673
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
5674
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
5677
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
5678
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
5679
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
5680
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
5681
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
5682
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
5685
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
5686
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5688
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
5689
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
5690
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
5691
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
5692
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
5693
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
5698
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
5699
putting together a real history without having to create a full
5700
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
5701
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
5702
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
5703
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5705
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
5706
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
5707
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
5709
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
5712
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
5713
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
5715
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
5722
:Released: 2008-07-17
5724
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
5725
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
5726
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
5727
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
5733
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
5734
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
5735
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
5737
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
5738
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
5739
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
5740
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
5741
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
5744
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
5746
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
5747
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
5748
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
5754
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
5755
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
5758
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
5759
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
5760
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
5761
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
5763
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
5764
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
5765
(Christophe Troestler)
5767
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
5768
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
5770
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
5771
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
5772
faster. The new request method name is
5773
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5778
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
5779
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
5780
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
5781
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
5782
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
5784
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
5785
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
5787
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
5788
requires a branch to be present.
5789
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
5791
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
5793
(Martin Pool, #205230)
5795
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
5796
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
5797
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
5798
(Martin Pool, #240161)
5800
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
5801
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
5803
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
5805
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
5807
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
5808
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
5809
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
5810
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
5811
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
5813
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
5814
(Martin Pool, #172870)
5816
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
5817
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
5819
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
5821
(Matt McClure, #209281)
5823
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
5824
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
5826
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
5827
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
5832
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
5835
* Updated developer documentation.
5841
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
5842
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
5844
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
5845
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
5846
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
5847
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
5852
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
5853
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
5854
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
5855
Repository docstring for more details.
5858
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
5859
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
5860
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
5862
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
5863
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
5866
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
5867
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
5868
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
5869
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
5874
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
5875
(Alexander Belchenko)
5877
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
5878
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
5879
containing a given location.
5882
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
5883
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
5884
storage. (Robert Collins)
5886
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
5889
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
5890
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
5897
:Released: 2008-06-10
5899
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
5900
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
5901
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
5907
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
5908
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
5909
reading from the repository.)
5910
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
5912
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5913
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5915
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
5916
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
5919
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
5920
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
5921
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
5923
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
5924
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
5925
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
5927
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
5928
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
5930
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
5931
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
5932
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
5933
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
5938
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
5940
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
5941
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
5942
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
5945
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
5946
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
5951
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5956
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
5957
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
5962
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5963
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5964
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5965
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5966
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5968
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
5969
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
5974
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
5975
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
5977
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
5978
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
5983
:Released: 2008-06-02
5985
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
5986
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
5987
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
5988
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
5989
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
5990
and future extensions.
5993
Notes When Upgrading
5994
********************
5996
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
5997
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
5998
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
5999
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6000
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6001
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6002
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
6003
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
6008
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
6009
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
6010
(John Arbash Meinel)
6015
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
6016
load. (James Westby)
6021
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
6022
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
6023
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
6024
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6026
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
6027
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
6028
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
6030
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
6031
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
6033
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
6034
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
6035
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
6037
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
6038
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
6039
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
6040
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
6041
step closer to not using full revision history.
6042
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
6047
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
6048
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
6050
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6051
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6053
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
6054
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
6056
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
6057
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
6058
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
6059
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
6061
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
6062
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
6063
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
6064
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
6066
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
6067
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
6068
in use by another process.
6071
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
6072
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
6073
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
6074
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
6076
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
6077
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
6079
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
6080
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
6081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
6083
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
6084
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
6085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
6087
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
6089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
6091
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
6092
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
6094
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
6095
under vim on Mac OS X.
6096
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6098
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
6099
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
6104
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
6105
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
6107
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6108
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6111
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
6112
and about use of Python reprs.
6113
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
6115
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
6120
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
6123
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6124
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6126
* New helper function for splitting test suites
6127
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
6132
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
6133
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
6134
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
6135
(John Arbash Meinel)
6140
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
6141
instead. (Martin Pool)
6143
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
6144
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
6145
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
6146
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
6148
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
6149
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
6150
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
6151
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
6152
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
6154
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
6155
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
6156
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
6157
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
6158
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
6159
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
6161
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
6162
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
6165
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
6166
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
6169
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
6170
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
6171
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
6172
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
6174
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
6175
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
6176
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6178
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
6179
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
6180
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
6181
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
6182
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
6185
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
6186
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
6187
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
6188
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
6191
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6192
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6193
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6194
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6195
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6197
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
6204
:Released: 2008-05-16
6206
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
6207
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
6208
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
6213
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
6214
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
6215
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6220
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6221
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6228
:Released: 2008-05-09
6233
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
6234
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
6235
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
6236
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
6241
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
6242
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
6244
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
6245
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
6247
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
6253
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
6254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
6256
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
6257
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
6259
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
6260
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
6261
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
6263
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6264
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6265
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6267
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
6270
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
6271
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
6273
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
6274
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
6276
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
6277
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
6279
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
6280
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
6282
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
6283
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
6284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
6286
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
6287
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
6289
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6290
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
6292
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6293
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6294
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6295
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
6297
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
6298
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
6301
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
6302
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
6303
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
6305
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6306
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6307
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6308
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6309
every revision each side had in common.
6310
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6312
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
6313
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6315
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
6316
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
6317
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
6318
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
6323
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
6324
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
6325
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
6326
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
6328
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
6330
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
6332
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
6333
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
6338
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
6339
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
6340
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
6342
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
6343
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
6344
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
6345
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6347
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
6348
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6350
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
6351
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
6352
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
6353
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6355
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
6356
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
6357
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
6358
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6363
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
6364
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
6365
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
6367
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
6369
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
6370
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
6372
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6373
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6375
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
6376
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
6381
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
6382
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
6383
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
6385
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
6386
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
6387
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
6390
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
6391
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
6394
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

:Released: 2008-04-28
6403
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
6404
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
6405
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
6406
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
6407
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
6408
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
6409
and faster performance.
6414
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6415
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6416
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6417
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
6423
:Released: 2008-04-21
6428
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6429
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6430
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6432
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
6433
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6435
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6436
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
6438
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6439
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6440
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6441
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6442
every revision each side had in common.
6443
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6449
:Released: 2008-04-11
6454
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
6456
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
6457
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
6459
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
6460
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
6461
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
6463
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
6464
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
6465
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
6466
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
6467
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
6468
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
6471
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
6472
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
6473
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
6474
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
6479
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
6481
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
6482
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
6483
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
6485
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
6486
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
6487
See the User Reference for signature details.
6488
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
6490
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
6491
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
6496
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
6497
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
6498
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
6499
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6501
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
6502
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
6504
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
6505
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
6506
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
6509
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
6512
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
6513
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
6514
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
6516
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
6519
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
6520
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
6522
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
6523
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
6525
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
6526
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
6527
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
6529
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
6530
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
6531
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
6532
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
6533
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
6535
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
6536
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
6538
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
6539
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6544
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
6545
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
6546
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
6547
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
6548
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
6549
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
6551
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
6552
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
6554
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
6555
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
6556
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
6558
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
6559
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
6561
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
6562
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
6563
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
6564
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6566
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
6567
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
6568
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
6569
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
6570
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
6572
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
6574
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
6575
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
6577
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
6579
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
6580
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
6582
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
6583
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
6588
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
6590
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
6592
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6594
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
6599
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
6600
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
6601
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
6603
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
6604
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
6605
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
6606
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
6608
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
6609
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
6610
release. (James Westby)
6612
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
6615
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
6617
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
6618
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6620
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
6621
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6623
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
6624
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
6626
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
6627
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
6628
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
6630
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
6631
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
6632
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
6633
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
6635
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
6636
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
6637
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
6638
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
6640
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
6641
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
6642
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
6643
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
6644
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
6645
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
6647
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
6648
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
6649
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
6651
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
6652
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6654
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
6655
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
6658
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
6659
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
6661
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
6662
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
6664
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
6665
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
6667
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6668
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
6669
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
6671
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
6672
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
6673
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
6674
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
6675
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
6676
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
6681
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
6682
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
6683
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
6684
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
6686
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
6687
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
6688
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
6689
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
6693
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
6694
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
6697
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
6698
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
6700
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
6702
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
6703
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
6704
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
6709
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6711
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
6714
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
6715
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
6716
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
6717
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
6718
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
6719
(Martin Pool, #109520)
6721
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
6722
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
6724
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
6725
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
6726
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
6727
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
6729
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
6730
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
6732
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
6733
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
6783
********************
6785
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
6786
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
6791
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
6792
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
6793
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
6794
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
6797
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
6798
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
6799
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
6800
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
6801
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
6802
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
6804
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
6805
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
6806
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
6807
(Alexander Belchenko)
6809
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6811
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
6812
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
6817
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
6818
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
6820
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
6821
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
6827
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
6829
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6831
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
6832
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
6833
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
6835
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
6836
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
6838
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
6839
to. (Daniel Watkins)
6841
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
6842
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
6843
(Alexander Belchenko)
6845
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
6846
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
6847
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
6848
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
6850
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
6853
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
6854
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
6855
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
6856
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
6857
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6862
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
6863
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
6864
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
6865
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
6867
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
6868
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
6870
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
6871
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
6873
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
6874
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.

6877
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.

(#198793, John Ferlito)
6880
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
6883
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
6884
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
6886
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
6888
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
6890
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
6891
symlinks (James Henstridge)
6893
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
6894
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
6896
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
6897
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
6899
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
6900
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
6902
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
6903
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
6905
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
6906
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
6911
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
6912
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6917
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
6918
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
6919
(Alexander Belchenko)
6924
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
6926
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
6927
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
6933
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
6934
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
6935
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
6937
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
6938
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
6939
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
6940
(Alexander Belchenko)
6942
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
6943
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
6944
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
6945
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)

* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
6948
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
6949
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
6952
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
6953
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
6954
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
6956
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
6957
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
6958
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
6960
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
6961
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
6962
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
6963
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
6983
********************
6985
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
6986
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
6987
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
6988
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
6989
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
6995
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
6996
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
6998
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
6999
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7000
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7002
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7003
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7004
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7005
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7006
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7007
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7013
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7014
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7016
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7017
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7018
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7021
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7022
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7023
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7024
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7025
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7027
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7028
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7029
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
7030
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
7031
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
7032
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
7033
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
7034
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
7039
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
7040
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
7042
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
7043
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7045
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
7046
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7048
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
7049
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
7050
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
7052
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
7053
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
7054
(John Arbash Meinel)
7059
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
7060
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
7062
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
7063
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
7065
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
7066
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
7068
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
7069
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
7070
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
7072
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
7073
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
7074
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
7076
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
7077
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
7079
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
7080
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
7081
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
7082
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
7083
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
7085
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7087
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
7088
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
7091
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
7092
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
7094
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
7095
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
7097
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
7098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
7100
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
7101
more characters which should be considered valid.
7102
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
7104
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
7105
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
7107
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
7108
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
7113
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
7114
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
7116
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
7117
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
7123
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
7124
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
7130
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
7131
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
7132
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
7134
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
7135
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
7136
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
7138
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
7139
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
7140
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
7141
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
7143
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
7145
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
7146
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
7147
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
7148
server. (Robert Collins)
7150
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
7151
operate. (Robert Collins)
7153
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
7154
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
7155
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
7157
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
7158
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
7159
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
7160
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
7162
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
7163
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
7165
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
7166
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
7167
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
7169
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
7170
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
7172
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
7173
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
7175
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
7176
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
7177
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
7178
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

7191
:Released: 2008-01-05
7196
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
7197
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
7198
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
7199
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7201
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
7202
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
7203
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
7204
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
7209
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
7212
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
7215
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
7216
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
7221
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
7224
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
7225
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
7226
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
7228
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
7230
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
7231
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
7232
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
7233
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
7234
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
7236
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
7237
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
7238
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
7240
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
7241
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
7243
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
7246
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
7248
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
7250
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
7253
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
7254
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
7259
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
7260
(Martin Pool, #180208)
7262
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
7263
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
7265
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
7268
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
7269
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
7271
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
7272
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
7274
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
7275
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7277
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
7278
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
7280
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
7281
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
7282
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
7284
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
7285
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
7287
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
7288
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
7291
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
7293
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
7294
user:pass embedded in the urls.
7295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
7297
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
7298
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
7300
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
7303
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
7306
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
7307
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
7309
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
7312
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
7313
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
7316
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
7317
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
7318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
7323
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
7326
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
7327
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
7328
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
7329
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
7330
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
7331
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
7333
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
7338
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
7341
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
7342
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
7344
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
7346
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
7347
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
7348
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
7351
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
7352
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7354
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
7363
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
7364
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
7365
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
7367
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
7368
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
7371
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
7372
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
7374
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
7375
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7377
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
7378
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7380
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
7381
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
7382
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7384
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
7385
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
7387
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
7388
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7390
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
7391
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
7394
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
7395
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
7397
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
7398
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

7437
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
7439
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
7440
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
7441
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
7442
feedback but also incur more latency.

* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
7446
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
7451
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7453
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
7459
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
7478
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
7481
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
7482
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
7483
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
7484
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7486
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
7489
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
7490
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
7492
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
7493
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
7494
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
7496
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
7497
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
7498
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
7499
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
7500
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
7501
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
7502
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
7503
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
7504
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

Notes When Upgrading
7548
********************
7550
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
7551
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
7552
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
7553
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
7555
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
7556
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
7558
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
7559
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
7561
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
7562
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
7563
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
7564
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
7565
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
7566
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
7567
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
7568
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
7569
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
7570
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
7571
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
7572
from any tree without problems.
7573
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
7578
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
7579
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
7580
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
7582
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
7583
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
7589
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
7590
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
7591
supported transports.
7594
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
7595
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
7596
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
7598
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
7599
(Robert Collins, #154173)
7601
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
7602
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
7603
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
7604
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
7606
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
7607
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
7612
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
7613
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
7614
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
7615
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7617
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
7618
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
7619
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
7620
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
7622
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
7623
(Robert Collins, #88319)
7625
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
7626
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
7628
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
7629
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
7631
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
7632
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
7638
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
7641
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
7642
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
7645
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
7646
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
7647
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
7648
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
7650
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
7651
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
7652
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
7653
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
7661
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
7662
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
7664
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
7665
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
7667
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
7668
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
7670
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
7671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
7673
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
7674
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
7676
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
7677
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
7679
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
7680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
7682
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
7685
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
7686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
7688
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
7689
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
7690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
7692
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
7693
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
7695
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
7696
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
7698
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
7699
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
7701
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
7702
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
7704
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
7705
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
7706
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
7707
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
7709
(Martin Pool, #164637)
7711
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
7712
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
7713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
7715
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
7716
(Robert Collins, #161240)
7718
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
7720
(Martin Pool, #164443)
7722
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
7723
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
7725
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
7726
specify a port in urls.
7727
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
7729
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
7730
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
7732
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
7733
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
7735
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
7736
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
7738
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
7739
(Robert Collins, #153789)
7741
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
7742
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
7743
(Robert Collins, #165304).
7745
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
7747
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
7748
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
7750
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
7753
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
7754
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
7756
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
7757
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
7759
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
7760
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
7761
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
7763
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
7764
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
7766
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
7767
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
7768
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
7769
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
7771
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
7772
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
7774
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
7775
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
7776
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
7778
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
7779
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
7781
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
7782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
7784
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
7785
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
7790
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
7791
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
7793
* The return value of
7794
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
7795
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
7796
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
7797
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
7799
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
7802
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
7803
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
7810
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
7811
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
7812
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
7815
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
7816
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
7818
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
7824
:Released: 2007-11-05
7829
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
7835
:Released: 2007-10-29
7840
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
7841
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
7843
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
7844
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
7845
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
7846
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
7847
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
7848
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
7849
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
7850
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
7851
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
7852
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
7853
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
7854
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
7860
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
7861
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
7862
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
7863
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
7864
commands. (Robert Collins)
7866
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
7867
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
7868
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
7871
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
7873
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
7874
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
7876
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
7877
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
7880
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
7881
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
7882
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
7887
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
7888
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7890
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
7891
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
7893
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
7894
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
7895
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
7896
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
7898
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
7901
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
7902
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
7903
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
7904
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
7906
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
7907
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
7909
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
7910
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
7912
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
7913
the contents. (Robert Collins)
7915
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
7916
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
7921
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
7922
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
7924
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
7925
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
7927
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
7928
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
7930
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
7931
(Martin Pool, #63894)
7933
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
7934
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
7939
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
7941
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
7947
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
7948
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
7949
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
7951
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
7952
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
7954
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
7955
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
7957
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
7958
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
7959
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
7960
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
7962
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
7963
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
7964
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
7965
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
7966
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
7968
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
7969
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
7971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
7973
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7975
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
7976
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
7978
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
7979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
7981
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
7982
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
7984
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
7985
contains a symbolic link.
7986
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
7988
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
7989
(James Westby, #140615)
7991
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
7992
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
7993
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
7995
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
7996
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
7997
(Martin Pool, #144633)
7999
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8001
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8004
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8008
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8009
directory to detect leaking tests.
8010
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8012
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8013
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8014
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8016
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8019
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8020
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8022
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8028
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8029
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
8031
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
8032
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
8033
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
8035
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
8036
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
8037
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
8039
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
8040
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
8042
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
8043
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
8045
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
8046
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
8049
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
8050
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
8052
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
8053
class that needs it.
8056
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
8057
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
8059
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
8060
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
8061
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
8063
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
8064
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
8065
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
8068
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
8069
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
8070
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
8071
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
8077
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
8078
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
8079
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
8081
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
8082
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
8083
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
8084
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
8086
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
8087
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
8090
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
8091
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
8092
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
8094
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
8095
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
8096
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
8098
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
8099
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
8101
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
8102
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
8103
to complete. (Robert Collins)
8105
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
8106
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
8108
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
8109
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
8110
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
8112
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
8113
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
8114
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
8116
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
8117
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
8118
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
8119
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
8121
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
8122
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
8123
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
8124
returned. (Robert Collins)
8126
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
8127
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
8129
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
8130
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
8131
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
8132
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
8135
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
8136
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
8141
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
8142
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
8144
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
8145
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
8146
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
8147
makes this behavior available to other users.
8150
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
8151
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
8157
:Released: 2007-09-26
8162
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8163
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8164
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8166
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8168
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
8169
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
8170
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
8171
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
8173
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
8174
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
8181
:Released: 2007-09-11
8183
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
8184

:Released: 2007-09-11
8195
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
8196
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
8197
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
8198
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
8201
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
8202
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
8203
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
8209
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
8210
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
8211
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
8214
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
8215
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
8216
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
8218
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
8219
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
8220
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
8222
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
8223
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
8225
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
8226
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
8227
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
8228
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
8229
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
8230
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
8231
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
8232
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
8233
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
8234
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
8236
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
8237
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
8239
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
8240
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
8241
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8246
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
8247
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
8249
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
8250
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
8251
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
8253
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
8254
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
8256
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
8257
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
8259
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
8262
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
8263
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
8265
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
8266
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
8268
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
8269
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8271
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
8272
(Blake Winton, #129299)
8274
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
8276
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
8279
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
8280
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
8281
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
8282
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
8284
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8286
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
8287
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
8290
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
8291
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
8293
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
8294
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
8297
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
8298
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
8300
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
8301
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
8303
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
8304
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
8305
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
8306
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
8307
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
8308
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
8309
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
8311
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
8312
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
8314
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
8315
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
8317
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
8318
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
8320
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
8321
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
8323
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
8325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
8327
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
8328
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
8330
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
8331
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
8332
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
8334
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8335
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8336
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8341
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
8342
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8344
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
8347
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
8350
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
8351
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8353
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
8355
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
8356
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
8358
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
8359
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
8361
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
8362
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
8363
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
8364
space). (Robert Collins)
8366
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
8367
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
8370
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
8371
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8373
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
8374
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
8376
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
8377
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
8378
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
8379
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
8381
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
8382
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
8383
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
8386
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
8389
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
8390
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
8391
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
8393
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
8394
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
8395
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
8396
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
8397
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
8402
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
8403
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
8405
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
8406
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
8407
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
8408
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
8409
affected. (Robert Collins)
8411
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
8412
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
8413
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
8416
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8417
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8422
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
8423
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
8425
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
8426
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8428
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8429
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8431
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
8434
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
8435
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8440
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
8441
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
8442
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
8443
its version information. (Robert Collins)
8445
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
8446
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8448
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
8449
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
8450
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
8451
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8453
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
8454
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
8455
present. (Robert Collins)
8457
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
8458
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
8459
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
8460
API. (Robert Collins)
8462
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
8463
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
8466
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
8467
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
8469
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
8470
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
8471
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
8472
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
8473
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
8474
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
8476
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
8477
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
8478
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
8480
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
8481
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
8482
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
8483
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
8486
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
8489
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
8490
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
8491
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
8492
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
8493
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
8494
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
8495
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
8497
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
8498
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
8499
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
8500
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
8502
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
8503
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
8504
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
8505
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
8506
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
8507
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
8509
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
8510
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
8511
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
8513
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
8514
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8520
:Released: 2007-08-28
8525
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
8526
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
8527
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
8528
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
8529
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
8530
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
8531
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
8532
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
8538
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
8539
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
8540
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
8546
:Released: 2007-08-14
8551
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
8552
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
8553
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8554
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
8555
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
8557
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
8558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
8560
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
8562
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
8564
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
8565
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
8568
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
8569
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
8572
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
8575
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
8576
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
8578
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
8579
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
8581
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
8582
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
8584
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
8585
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8587
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8588
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
8590
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
8596
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8597
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8599
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8600
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8602
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8603
the repository (Robert Collins)
8605
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8606
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8607
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8608
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8609
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8611
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8612
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8614
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
8615
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
8616
(John Arbash Meinel)
8618
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
8619
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
8620
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
8622
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
8623
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
8624
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
8625
(John Arbash Meinel)
8627
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
8628
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
8631
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
8632
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
8634
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
8637
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
8639
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
8641
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
8642
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
8644
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
8645
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
8648
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
8649
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
8650
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
8651
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8653
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
8654
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
8655
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
8657
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
8658
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
8659
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
8661
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
8662
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
8664
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
8665
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
8666
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
8667
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
8668
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
8669
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
8672
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
8673
(Alexander Belchenko)
8675
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
8676
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
8678
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
8679
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
8681
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
8683
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
8684
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
8689
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
8690
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
8691
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
8692
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
8694
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
8696
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
8699
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
8700
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
8701
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
8702
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
8703
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
8704
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
8709
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
8710
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
8711
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
8712
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
8714
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
8715
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
8716
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
8717
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
8718
tests have been refactored too.
8721
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
8722
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
8723
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
8727
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
8728
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
8729
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8731
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
8732
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
8733
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
8734
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
8735
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
8736
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
8737
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
8739
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
8740
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
8741
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
8742
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
8743
(John Arbash Meinel)
8745
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
8746
functionality for testing.
8748
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
8750
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
8751
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8753
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
8755
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
8758
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
8759
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
8761
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
8762
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
8763
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
8765
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
8768
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
8769
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
8771
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
8772
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
8773
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
8774
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
8776
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
8777
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
8779
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
8780
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
8781
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
8783
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
8786
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
8787
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
8788
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
8789
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
8790
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
8791
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
8793
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
8794
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
8795
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
8796
many files. (Robert Collins)
8798
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
8799
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
8800
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
8801
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
8806
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
8807
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
8808
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
8810
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
8811
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
8813
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
8814
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
8815
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
8832
:Released: 2007-07-10
8837
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
8838
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
8840
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
8841
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
8842
(James Westby, #122656)
8844
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
8845
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
8847
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
8848
authentication header.
8849
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
8851
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
8853
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
8854
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
8856
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
8858
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
8859
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
8861
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
8862
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
8863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
8865
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
8866
individually and as part of revision ranges.
8867
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
8869
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
8870
(Martin Pool, #109169)
8872
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
8873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
8875
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
8876
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
8878
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8880
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
8885
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
8886
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
8887
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8888
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
8889
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
8890
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
8892
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
8893
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
8894
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
8896
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
8899
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
8900
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
8902
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
8903
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
8905
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
8906
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
8908
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
8909
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
8910
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
8911
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
8912
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
8914
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
8915
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
8917
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
8918
can be slow it is useful feedback).
8919
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
8921
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
8922
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
8924
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
8926
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
8927
output. (Aaron Bentley)
8929
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
8930
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
8933
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
8936
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
8937
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
8939
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
8940
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
8942
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
8943
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
8945
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
8947
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
8948
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
8950
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
8956
* Testing cleanups -
8957
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
8958
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
8959
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
8960
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
8961
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8962
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
8963
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8964
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
8965
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8966
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
8967
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
8968
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
8969
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8970
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
8971
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8972
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
8973
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
8976
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
8978
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
8979
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
8980
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
8982
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
8983
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
8985
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
8986
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8988
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
8990
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
8991
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
8992
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
8993
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
8994
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
8995
same location. (Robert Collins)
9000
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
9002
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
9004
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
9006
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
9009
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9012
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9013
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9014
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9016
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9018
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9019
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9020
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9022
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9023
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9025
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9026
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9027
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9029
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
9030
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
9031
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
9033
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
9034
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
9035
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
9037
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
9038
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
9041
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
9042
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
9044
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
9045
(Alexander Belchenko)
9050
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
9051
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
9052
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
9053
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9055
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
9056
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
9057
testing. (Robert Collins)
9059
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
9060
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
9062
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
9063
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
9064
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
9065
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
9066
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
9067
attribute during the test parameterisation in
9068
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
9070
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
9071
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
9072
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
9073
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
9075
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
9076
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
9078
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
9079
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
9104
********************
9106
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
9107
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
9108
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
9109
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
9110
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
9111
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
9112
and unlock() like so::
9114
work_tree.lock_read()
9116
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
9122
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
9123
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
9125
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
9126
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
9127
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
9129
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
9130
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
9131
too. (Robert Collins)
9136
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
9137
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
9140
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
9141
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
9143
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
9144
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
9146
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
9147
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
9148
understanding what changes have occurred
9149
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
9151
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
9152
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
9153
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9155
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
9156
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
9157
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
9158
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
9160
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
9166
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
9167
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
9168
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
9169
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
9170
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
9172
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
9173
based on split paths, not just string paths.
9174
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
9176
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
9177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
9179
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
9181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
9183
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
9184
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
9186
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
9187
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
9189
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
9190
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
9192
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
9193
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
9195
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
9196
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
9198
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
9199
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
9200
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
9205
:Released: 2007-05-07
9210
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
9211
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
9212
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
9213
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
9214
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
9216
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
9217
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
9218
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
9220
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
9221
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
9226
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
9227
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
9228
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
9230
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
9231
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
9232
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
9233
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
9238
:Released: 2007-04-30
9243
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
9244
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
9245
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
9246
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
9248
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
9249
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
9250
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
9252
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
9253
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
9255
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
9256
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
9258
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
9259
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
9264
:Released: 2007-04-26
9266
Notes When Upgrading
9267
********************
9269
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
9270
it could be recovered again.
9271
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
9272
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9273
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
9275
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
9277
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
9278
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
9283
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
9284
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
9286
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
9287
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
9288
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
9289
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
9291
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
9292
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
9294
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
9295
tests with names that match that regular expression.
9296
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
9298
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
9299
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
9300
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
9302
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
9303
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
9304
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
9306
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
9307
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
9310
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
9313
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
9314
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
9315
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
9316
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
9318
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
9321
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
9322
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
9323
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
9326
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
9327

* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
9330
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
9332
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
9333
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
9334
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
9335
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
9338
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
9339
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
9341
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
9342
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9344
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
9345
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
9346
(Robert Collins, #107125).
9348
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
9349
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
9350
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
9352
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
9353
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
9354
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9356
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
9357
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
9358
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
9359
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
9361
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
9362
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
9363
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
9364
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
9366
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
9367
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
9368
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
9369
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
9370
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
9371
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
9372
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
9373
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
9380
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
9381
code paths. (Robert Collins)
9383
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
9384
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
9385
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
9386
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
9387
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9389
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
9390
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
9392
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
9393
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
9395
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
9396
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
9398
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
9399
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
9401
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
9402
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
9403
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
9406
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
9407
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
9408
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
9409
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
9410
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
9413
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
9414
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
9415
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
9417
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
9418
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
9421
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
9422
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
9423
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
9426
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
9427
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
9428
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
9429
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
9430
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
9432
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
9433
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
9434
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
9435
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9437
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
9438
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9440
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
9441
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
9442
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
9443
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
9444
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
9445
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
9447
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
9448
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
9450
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
9451
help. (Robert Collins)
9453
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
9454
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9456
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
9457
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
9458
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
9459
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
9460
(John Arbash Meinel)
9462
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
9463
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
9464
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
9465
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
9466
useful. (Robert Collins)
9468
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
9474
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
9475
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
9477
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
9478
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
9480
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
9481
properly and is no longer beneficial.
9482
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
9484
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
9487
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
9488
the file, and does it faster.
9489
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
9491
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
9492
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
9493
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
9495
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
9496
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
9497
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
9498
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
9500
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
9501
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
9502
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
9503
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
9505
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
9506
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
9508
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
9509
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
9510
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
9511
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
9514
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
9516
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
9517
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
9519
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
9520
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
9522
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
9523
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
9524
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
9525
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
9529
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
9530
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
9535
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
9536
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
9537
in running it. (Robert Collins)
9539
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
9540
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
9542
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
9543
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
9544
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
9545
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
9546
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
9547
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
9548
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
9549
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9551
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
9552
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
9553
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9555
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
9556
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
9557
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
9558
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
9559
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
9561
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9563
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
9564
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
9565
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
9567
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
9568
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
9574
:Released: 2007-04-01
9579
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
9582
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
9583
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
9589
:Released: 2007-03-26
9594
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
9595
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
9601
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9602
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9603
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9604
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9605
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9606
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9607
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9608
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
9614
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
9615
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
9616
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
9618
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
9619
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
9622
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
9623
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
9624
(John Arbash Meinel)
9626
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
9627
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
9628
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
9629
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
9630
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
9635
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
9638
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
9639
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
9641
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
9642
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
9644
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
9645
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
9646
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
9648
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
9649
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
9651
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
9652
last-changed-revision for directories. The
9653
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
9654
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
9655
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
9657
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
9658
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
9659
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
9661
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
9670
********************
9672
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
9673
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
9674
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
9679
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
9680
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
9682
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
9683
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
9685
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
9687
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
9688
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
9690
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
9691
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
9696
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
9702
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
9703
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
9704
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
9705
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
9707
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
9708
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
9710
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
9711
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
9713
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
9716
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
9717
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
9723
:Released: 2007-03-07
9728
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
9729
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
9730
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
9731
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
9732
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
9733
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
9735
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
9736
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
9737
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
9738
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
9739
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
9740
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
9742
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9744
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
9745
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
9746
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
9747
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
9748
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
9749
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
9750
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
9751
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9756
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
9757
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
9759
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9760
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
9761
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
9762
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
9764
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
9765
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
9766
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
9767
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
9768
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
9770
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
9773
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
9776
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
9779
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
9780
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
9783
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
9786
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
9787
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
9789
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
9790
directory. (Martin Pool)
9792
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
9793
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
9794
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
9795
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
9797
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
9798
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
9799
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
9800
in docs/configuration.txt.
9802
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
9803
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
9806
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
9807
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
9808
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
9809
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
9810
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
9811
repositories. (Martin Pool)
9813
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
9814
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9816
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
9817
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
9819
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
9825
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
9826
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
9827
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
9828
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
9829
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
9830
(John Arbash Meinel)
9832
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
9833
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
9836
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
9837
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
9838
(John Arbash Meinel)
9840
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
9841
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
9842
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
9843
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
9844
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
9845
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
9847
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
9848
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
9849
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
9851
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
9852
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
9853
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
9854
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
9856
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9858
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
9859
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
9860
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
9861
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
9863
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
9864
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
9865
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
9866
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
9868
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
9869
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
9870
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
9872
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
9873
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
9874
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
9876
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
9877
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
9878
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
9879
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
9881
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
9882
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
9883
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
9885
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
9886
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
9887
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
9889
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
9890
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
9891
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
9892
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
9893
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
9894
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
9895
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
9896
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
9897
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

9904
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
9905
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
9906
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
9908
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
9911
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
9912
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
9913
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
9914

* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
9917
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
9920
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
9921

* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
9925
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
9926
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
9927
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
9929
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
9930
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)

9950
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
9967
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
9968
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
9970
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
9971
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
9972
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
9978
:Released: 2007-01-16
9983
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
9984
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
9985
server, then you can write over the http connection.
9986
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9988
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
9991
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
9992
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
9993
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
9995
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
9996
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
9998
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
10001
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10002
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10003
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10004
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10005
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10006
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10008
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10009
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10010
should enable you to do::
10012
[/home/user/project]
10013
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10014
push_location:policy = appendpath
10016
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10017
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10020
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
10021
for each file. For example::
10023
$ bzr status --short
10029
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
10030
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
10032
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
10034
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
10035
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
10037
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
10042
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
10043
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
10044
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
10045
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
10047
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
10048
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
10049
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
10051
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
10053
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
10054
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
10055
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
10056
(Alexander Belchenko)
10058
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
10061
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
10062
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
10064
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
10069
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
10070
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
10072
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
10073
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
10074
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
10075
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
10076
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
10078
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
10079
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
10081
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
10082
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
10084
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
10086
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
10088
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
10089
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
10090
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
10091
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
10092
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
10094
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
10095
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
10096
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
10097
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
10099
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
10100
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
10102
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
10103
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
10105
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
10129
tree from a branch.
10130
(Daniel Silverstone)
10132
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
10133
operations are substantially faster.
10134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
10136
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
10137
tree from some other url. For example:
10138
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
10139
(Daniel Silverstone)
10141
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
10142
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
10143
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
10144
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
10146
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
10149
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
10150
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
10151
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
10152
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
10153
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
10154
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
10159
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
10160
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
10163
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
10164
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
10165
(John Arbash Meinel)
10167
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
10168
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
10169
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
10170
(John Arbash Meinel)
10172
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
10173
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
10175
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
10176
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10178
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
10179
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
10185
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
10186
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
10187
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
10189
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
10190
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
10191
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
10192
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
10194
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
10196
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
10197
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
10199
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
10200
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
10201
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
10202
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
10204
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
10205
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
10206
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
10208
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
10209
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
10210
them as full references rather than integers.
10211
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
10213
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
10214
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
10216
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
10218
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
10219
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
10221
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
10222
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
10224
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
10225
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
10226
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
10227
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
10229
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
10230
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
10231
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
10233
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
10234
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
10236
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
10237
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
10238
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
10239
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
10269
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
10270
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
10271
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
10273
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
10274
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
10276
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
10278
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
10279
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
10280
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
10281
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10283
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
10284
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
10285
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
10286
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

API Incompatability
10290
*******************
10292
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
10293
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
10298
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
10299
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
10300
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10302
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
10303
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
10304
(John Arbash Meinel)
10306
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
10307
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
10308
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
10310
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
10311
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
10314
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
10315
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
10316
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10318
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
10319
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
10320
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
10321
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
10322
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
10323
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10325
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
10326
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
10327
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
10330
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
10331
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
10336
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
10337
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
10338
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
10341
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
10342
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
10344
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
10345
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
10346
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
10348
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
10349
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
10351
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
10352
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
10353
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
10354
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
10356
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
10357
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
10359
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
10360
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
10361
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
10363
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
10364
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
10366
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10368
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
10369
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
10375
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
10376
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
10377
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
10378
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
10380
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
10381

:Released: 2006-09-25
10412
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
10413
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
10414
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
10415
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
10416
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10417
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
10418
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
10420
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
10421
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
10422
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
10424
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
10426
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
10427
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
10429
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
10430
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
10431
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
10434
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
10435
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
10436
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

10439
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
10440
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
10441
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
10442
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
10445
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
10446
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
10447
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information

(John Arbash Meinel)
10453
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a

* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)

* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
10459
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
10460
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
10462
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
10463
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
10465
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
10466
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
10468
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
10469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
10471
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
10472
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
10474
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
10476
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
10477
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
10479
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
10480
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
10482
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
10483
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
10485
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
10486
(John Arbash Meinel)
10488
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
10489
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
10490
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
10492
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
10493
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10495
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
10496
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
10497
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
10498
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
10500
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
10501
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
10502
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
10504
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
10505
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
10510
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
10515
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
10516
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
10517
(John Arbash Meinel)
10519
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
10520
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
10521
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
10522
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10524
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
10527
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
10528
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
10529
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
10531
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
10532
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
10534
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
10535
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
10536
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
10538
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
10539
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
10540
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
10541
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
10542
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
10543
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
10544
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
10545
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
10546
caller to repeat their request.
10547
(John Arbash Meinel)
10549
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
10550
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
10552
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
10553
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
10555
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
10556
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
10557
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
10558
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
10559
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
10560
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
10561
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
10563
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
10564
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
10565
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
10566
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
10567
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
10568
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
10569
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
10570
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
10573
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
10574
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
10575
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
10577
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
10578
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
10580
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
10581
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
10583
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
10584
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10589
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
10590
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
10592
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10593
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10594
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10596
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
10597
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
10598
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10603
:Released: 2006-08-29
10607
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
10608
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
10610
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10611
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10612
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
10613
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
10614
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
10616
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
10617
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
10618
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
10620
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
10621
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
10623
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
10624
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
10625
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10630
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
10632
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
10633
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
10634
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
10636
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
10638
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
10640
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
10641
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
10642
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
10643
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
10645
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
10646
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
10647
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
10648
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
10649
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
10651
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
10652
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
10654
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
10655
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
10657
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
10658
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
10660
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
10661
in handling of revision properties.
10662
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
10664
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
10665
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
10670
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
10671
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
10672
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
10673
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
10674
(John Arbash Meinel)
10676
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
10677
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
10678
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
10683
:Released: 2006-08-11
10688
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
10689
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
10690
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
10691
specific one '.bzrignore'.
10692
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
10693
a more conservative list than the old default.
10694
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
10695
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
10696
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
10697
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
10699
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
10700
to more locations than just branch locations.
10706
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
10707
revno:N:branch. For example,
10708
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
10709
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10711
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
10712
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
10713
the path of a file that has been versioned.
10714
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
10715
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10716
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
10717
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
10718
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
10721
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
10722
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
10723
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10726
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
10727
(Alexander Belchenko)
10729
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
10731
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
10734
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
10735
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
10736
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
10737
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
10738
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
10739
(John Arbash Meinel)
10741
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
10742
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
10743
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
10744
grained analysis of performance.
10745
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10747
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
10748
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
10750
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
10751
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
10752
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
10753
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
10754
file. (Robert Collins).
10756
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
10757
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
10758
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
10760
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
10761
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
10764
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
10765
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
10767
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
10768
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
10769
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
10770
the same way you would apply another branch.
10771
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
10773
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
10774
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
10776
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
10779
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
10782
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
10783
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
10784
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
10786
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
10787
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
10788
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
10790
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
10791
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
10793
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
10794
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
10795
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
10796
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
10797
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
10799
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
10800
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
10802
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
10803
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
10804
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
10805
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
10806
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
10807
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
10808
branch is as much as 4x faster.
10809
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
10811
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
10812
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
10813
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
10818
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
10820
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
10822
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
10823
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10825
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
10826
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
10828
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
10829
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
10831
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
10833
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
10834
(John Arbash Meinel)
10836
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
10837
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
10839
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
10840
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
10843
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
10844
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
10846
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
10847
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
10849
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
10850
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
10851
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
10852
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
10854
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
10855
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
10857
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
10859
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
10860
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
10862
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
10864
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
10866
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
10867
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
10869
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
10870
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
10872
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
10873
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
10874
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
10876
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
10877
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
10878
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
10880
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
10881
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
10883
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
10884
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
10886
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
10887
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
10889
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
10890
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
10892
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
10893
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
10895
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
10896
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
10897
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
10899
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
10901
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
10902
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
10907
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
10908
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
10909
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
10911
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
10912
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
10914
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
10915
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
10916
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10918
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
10919
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10921
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
10922
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
10925
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
10926
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
10927
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10929
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
10930
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
10931
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10933
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
10934
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
10935
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
10937
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.

Notes When Upgrading
11022
********************
11024
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11025
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11026
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11027
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11028
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11029
will keep the same format.
11031
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
11032
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
11033
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
11034
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
11035
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
11037
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
11038
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
11039
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
11040
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
11041
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
11042
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
11043
indicating the current revision of the branch.
11045
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
11046
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
11047
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
11048
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
11049
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
11051
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
11052
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
11053
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
11060
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
11061
convention. Paths now take the form::
11063
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
11065
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11067
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
11068
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
11070
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
11071
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
11072
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
11074
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
11075
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
11076
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
11077
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
11079
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
11080
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
11081
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
11083
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
11085
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
11087
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
11088
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
11091
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
11092
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
11093
| xargs bzr re-sign
11095
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
11097
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
11098
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
11099
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
11102
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
11104
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
11106
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
11109
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
11110
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
11112
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
11113
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
11114
Daniel Silverstone)
11116
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
11117
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
11120
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
11122
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
11124
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
11125
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
11127
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
11128
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
11129
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
11130
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
11131
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
11132
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
11134
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
11136
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
11137
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
11140
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
11141
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
11143
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
11144
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
11146
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
11148
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
11149
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
11150
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
11151
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
11152
specification by Martin Pool.
11153
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
11155
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
11158
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
11159
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11161
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
11162
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
11163
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
11165
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
11167
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
11168
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
11174
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
11175
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11177
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
11179
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
11181
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
11184
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
11185
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
11186
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
11187
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
11192
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
11193
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
11194
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
11195
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11197
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
11198
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
11199
tried. (Martin Pool)
11201
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
11204
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
11206
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
11207
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
11208
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
11210
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
11211
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
11213
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
11214
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
11215
paths. (Robert Collins)
11217
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
11218
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
11219
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
11221
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
11222
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
11223
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
11225
* Progress bars are now nested - see
11226
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
11227
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11229
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
11232
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
11235
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
11237
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
11239
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
11240
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
11241
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
11244
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
11245
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
11247
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
11248
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
11249
check. (Robert Collins)
11251
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
11252
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
11257
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
11258
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
11260
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
11261
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
11262
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
11263
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
11265
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
11266
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
11267
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
11268
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
11269
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
11271
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
11272
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
11273
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
11275
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
11277
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
11278
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
11283
:Released: 2006-01-09
11288
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
11289
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
11291
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
11292
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
11293
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
11296
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
11297
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
11299
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
11300
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
11301
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
11302
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
11303
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
11305
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
11306
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
11307
used. (Robert Collins)
11309
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
11310
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
11313
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
11314
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
11315
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
11317
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
11320
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
11321
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
11326
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
11327
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
11329
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
11331
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
11333
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11334
tree. (Robert Collins)
11336
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
11337
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
11338
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
11341
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
11344
* Tweaks to short log printing
11346
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
11349
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
11350
occurs. (Martin Pool)
11352
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
11353
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
11355
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
11356
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
11358
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
11359
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
11360
settings. (Magnus Therning)
11362
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
11363
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
11365
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
11366
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
11369
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
11370
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
11372
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
11373
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
11375
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
11376
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
11378
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
11381
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
11382
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
11384
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
11385
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
11387
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
11388
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
11389
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
11394
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
11396
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11398
* Error when run with -OO
11400
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
11403
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
11405
* Change status to 3 for all errors
11407
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
11408
ignored by diff and status
11410
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
11411
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
11413
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
11415
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
11417
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
11418
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
11420
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
11421
email address. (Marien Zwart)
11423
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
11426
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
11427
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11429
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
11431
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
11432
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
11434
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
11437
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
11438
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
11440
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
11445
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
11446
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
11448
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11450
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11452
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
11454
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
11455
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
11456
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11458
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11460
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
11461
(John Arbash Meinel)
11463
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
11465
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
11466
If adding a new test script please add that to
11467
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
11469
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
11470
imported. (Martin Pool)
11472
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
11473
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
11474
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
11475
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
11476
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
11479
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
11480
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
11481
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
11483
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
11484
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
11485
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11487
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
11488
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
11489
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
11490
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
11491
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
11494
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
11495
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
11501
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
11502
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
11504
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
11505
function. (Robert Collins)
11507
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
11508
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
11509
if needed). (Robert Collins)
11511
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
11512
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
11515
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
11516
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
11517
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
11518
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
11519
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
11520
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
11521
version. (Robert Collins)
11523
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
11524
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
11526
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
11527
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
11528
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
11529
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
11530
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
11531
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
11533
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
11536
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
11546
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
11548
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
11550
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
11553
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
11554
query method. (Robert Collins)
11556
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
11559
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
11562
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
11565
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
11566
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
11567
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
11568
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
11570
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
11571
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
11572
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
11573
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
11575
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
11576
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
11581
:Released: 2005-10-28
11586
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11589
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11593
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11594
a separator, not ':'.
11597
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11598
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11599
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11601
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11602
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11605
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11606
has been added that suppresses all output.
11608
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11611
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11612
Goffredo Baroncelli.
11614
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
11615
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
11617
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
11618
a revision. (Robert Collins)
11620
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
11621
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
11622
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
11623
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
11625
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
11627
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
11628
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
11630
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
11631
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
11633
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
11634
output directory, if one was supplied.
11636
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
11637
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
11638
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
11639
parameters. (Robert Collins)
11641
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
11643
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
11644
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
11646
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
11647
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
11648
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
11650
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
11651
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
11653
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
11656
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
11658
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
11663
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
11664
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
11665
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
11667
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
11668
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
11669
related questions. (Robert Collins)
11671
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
11672
is given. (Martin Pool)
11674
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
11675
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
11676
file. (Robert Collins)
11678
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
11684
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
11685
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
11686
representation. (Martin Pool).
11688
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
11689
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
11690
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
11692
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11695
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
11696
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
11699
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11700
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
11701
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
11702
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
11703
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
11705
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
11706
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
11707
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
11708
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
11709
python path. (Robert Collins)
11711
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
11712
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
11713
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
11714
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
11716
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
11717
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
11719
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
11720
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
11723
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
11724
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
11725
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
11727
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
11728
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
11729
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
11731
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11732
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11734
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
11735
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
11736
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
11739
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
11740
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
11741
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
11742
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
11745
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
11748
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
11749
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
11752
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
11753
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
11754
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
11756
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
11757
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
11758
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
11760
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
11761
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
11762
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
11764
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11765
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11767
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
11768
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
11769
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
11770
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
11771
caller. (Robert Collins)
11773
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
11774
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
11777
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
11778
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
11781
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
11783
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
11784
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
11789
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
11790
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
11792
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
11793
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

:Released: 2005-10-12
11804
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
11805
allow directories to be listed.
11807
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
11808
upgrading branch format.
11813
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
11819
:Released: 2005-10-11
11824
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
11825
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
11826
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
11827
high-latency connections.
11832
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
11835
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
11836
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
11838
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
11839
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
11840
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
11841
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11843
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
11844
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
11846
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
11847
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
11849
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
11850
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
11851
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11853
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
11854
for files with only a change to their executable status.
11855
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
11858
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
11859
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
11861
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
11862
different partial views of history.
11864
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
11865
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
11870
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
11871
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
11872
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11874
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
11875
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
11878
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
11879
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
11881
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
11884
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
11885
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
11887
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
11888
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
11889
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
11890
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11892
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
11894
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
11895
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
11898
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
11899
Contributed by Robert Collins.
11901
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
11902
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
11903
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
11909
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
11910
for your viewing pleasure.
11912
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
11913
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
11915
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
11916
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
11917
handling of such circumstances.
11919
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
11920
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
11921
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
11923
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
11925
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
11926
we call them revisions not patches.
11928
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
11929
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
11931
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
11932
giving the revision *of that file*.
11934
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
11935
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
11936
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
11941
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
11942
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
11944
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
11945
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

11956
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
11958
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
11961
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
11963
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
11965
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
11966
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11971
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
11972
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
11974
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
11975
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
11976
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
11977
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
11980
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
11981
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11986
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
11988
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
11989
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
11995
:Released: 2005-09-20
12001
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
12002
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
12003
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12004
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
12007
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
12010
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12011
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12012
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12013
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12014
for the operating system is still tried.
12016
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12017
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12018
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
12024
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
12029
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
12031
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
12034
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

12054
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
12055
help with intelligent shell completion.
12057
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
12063
* Much better merge support.
12065
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
12066
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
12073
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
12074
mention revisions that are not present.
12076
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
12078
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
12080
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
12081
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
12087
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
12089
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
12090
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
12097
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
12098
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

:Released: 2005-08-18
12111
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
12112
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
12114
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
12116
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
12117
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
12119
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
12122
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
12124
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
12127
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
12128
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
12130
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
12131
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
12132
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
12138
* Faster working tree operations.
12144
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
12145
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
12146
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
12147
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
12149
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
12150
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
12151
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
12152
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
12153
standard plugins directory.
12155
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
12156
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
12157
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
12158
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
12160
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
12161
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
12163
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
12166
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
12167
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
12168
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
12170
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
12171
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
12173
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
12174
line options must come before the command name because they
12175
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
12176
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
12179
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
12181
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
12182
is available with ``--short``.
12188
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
12194
:Released: 2005-06-15
12199
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
12200
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12202
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
12203
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
12204
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
12205
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
12207
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
12208
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
12209
with the ``--forward`` option.
12211
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
12212
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
12219
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
12220
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
12222
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
12224
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
12225
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12227

now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
12291
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
12292
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
12294
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
12295
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
12297

12344
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
