5
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
11
code paths. (Robert Collins)
13
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
14
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
15
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
16
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
17
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
19
* Deprecate Branch.get_root_id() because branches don't have root ids,
20
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta provides a better alternative to
23
WorkingTree._write_inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* Convenience method TestCase.expectFailure ensures that known failures
26
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
28
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
29
in bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks. The two initial hooks allow
30
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
33
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
34
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
35
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
36
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
37
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
40
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
41
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
42
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
46
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
47
(#98510, Ian Clatworthy)
49
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
50
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
52
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
53
properly and is no longer beneficial. Fixes #53675 and #43486.
56
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
59
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
60
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
61
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
62
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
64
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
65
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
66
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
67
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
71
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
72
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
73
in running it. (Robert Collins)
75
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
76
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
78
* Add new vfs_transport_factory attribute on tests which provides the
79
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
80
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
81
and use the existing transport_server attribute all tests know about
82
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
83
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
84
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
85
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
87
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
88
lightweight checkout for the tree if the vfs_transport_factory is not
89
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
91
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
92
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
93
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
94
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
95
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
97
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
104
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
107
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
108
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
111
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
115
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
116
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
121
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
122
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
123
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
124
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
125
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
126
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
127
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
128
bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections provide an easy transition
133
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
134
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
135
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
137
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to BzrDir.open_workingtree
138
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
141
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
142
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
145
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
146
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
147
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
148
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
149
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
153
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
156
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
157
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
159
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
160
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
162
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
163
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
164
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
166
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
167
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
169
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
170
last-changed-revision for directories. The
171
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the parent_id and name,
172
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
173
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
175
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
176
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
177
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
179
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
183
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
185
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
187
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
188
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
189
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
193
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
194
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
196
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
197
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
199
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
201
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
202
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
204
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
205
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
209
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
214
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
215
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
216
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
217
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
219
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
220
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
222
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
223
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
225
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
228
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
229
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
232
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
236
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
237
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
238
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
239
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
240
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
241
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
243
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
244
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
245
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
246
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
247
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
248
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
249
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
251
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
252
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
253
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
254
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
255
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
256
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
257
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
258
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
262
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
263
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
265
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
266
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
267
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
268
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
270
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
271
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
272
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
273
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
274
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
276
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
279
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
282
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
285
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
286
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
289
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
292
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
293
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
295
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
296
directory. (Martin Pool)
298
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
299
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
300
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
301
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
303
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
304
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
305
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
306
in docs/configuration.txt.
308
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
309
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
312
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
313
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
314
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
315
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
316
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
317
repositories. (Martin Pool)
319
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
320
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
322
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
323
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
325
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
330
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
331
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
332
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
333
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
334
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
337
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
338
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
341
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
342
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
345
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
346
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
347
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
348
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
349
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
351
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
352
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
353
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
355
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
356
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
357
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
358
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
360
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
362
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
363
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
364
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
365
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
367
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
368
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
369
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
370
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
372
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
373
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
374
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
376
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
377
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
378
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
380
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
381
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
382
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
383
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
385
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
386
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
387
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
389
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
390
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
391
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
393
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
394
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
395
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
396
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
397
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
398
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
399
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
400
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
401
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
402
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
403
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
407
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
408
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
409
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
411
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
414
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
415
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
416
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
417
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
419
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
420
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
423
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
424
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
426
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
428
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
429
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
431
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
432
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
434
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
437
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
438
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
440
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
441
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
443
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
445
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
446
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
450
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
451
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
458
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
462
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
463
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
464
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
466
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
467
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
468
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
471
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
475
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
476
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
477
server, then you can write over the http connection.
478
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
480
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
483
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
484
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
485
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
487
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
488
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
490
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
493
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
494
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
495
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
496
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
497
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
498
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
500
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
501
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
502
should enable you to do::
505
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
506
push_location:policy = appendpath
508
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
509
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
512
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
513
for each file. For example::
521
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
522
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
524
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
526
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
527
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
529
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
533
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
534
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
535
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
536
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
538
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
539
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
540
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
542
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
544
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
545
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
546
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
547
(Alexander Belchenko)
549
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
552
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
553
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
555
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
559
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
560
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
562
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
563
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
564
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
565
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
566
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
568
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
569
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
571
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
572
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
574
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
576
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
578
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
579
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
580
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
581
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
582
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
584
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
585
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
586
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
587
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
589
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
590
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
592
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
593
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
595
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
596
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
598
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
610
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
614
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
615
operations are substantially faster.
616
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
618
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
619
tree from some other url. For example:
620
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
623
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
624
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
625
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
626
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
628
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
631
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
632
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
633
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
634
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
635
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
636
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
640
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
641
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
644
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
645
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
648
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
649
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
650
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
653
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
654
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
656
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
657
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
662
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
663
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
666
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
667
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
668
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
669
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
671
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
673
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
674
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
676
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
677
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
678
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
679
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
681
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
682
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
683
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
685
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
686
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
687
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
690
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
691
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
693
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
695
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
696
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
698
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
699
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
701
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
702
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
703
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
704
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
706
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
707
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
708
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
710
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
711
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
713
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
714
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
715
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
716
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
717
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
721
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
722
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
728
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
729
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
732
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
736
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
737
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
738
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
739
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
741
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
742
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
744
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
746
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
747
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
748
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
749
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
751
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
752
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
753
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
754
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
759
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
760
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
764
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
765
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
766
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
768
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
769
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
772
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
773
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
774
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
776
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
777
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
780
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
781
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
782
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
784
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
785
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
786
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
787
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
788
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
789
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
791
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
792
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
793
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
796
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
797
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
801
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
802
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
803
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
806
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
807
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
809
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
810
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
811
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
813
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
814
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
816
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
817
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
818
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
819
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
821
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
822
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
824
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
825
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
826
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
828
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
829
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
831
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
833
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
834
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
839
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
840
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
841
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
842
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
844
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
845
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
846
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
850
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
852
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
856
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
858
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
861
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
865
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
866
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
867
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
868
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
869
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
870
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
871
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
873
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
874
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
875
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
877
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
879
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
880
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
882
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
883
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
884
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
887
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
888
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
889
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
892
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
893
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
894
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
895
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
898
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
899
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
900
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
905
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
906
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
908
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
910
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
911
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
912
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
914
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
915
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
917
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
918
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
920
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
921
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
923
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
924
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
926
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
928
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
929
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
931
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
932
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
934
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
935
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
937
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
940
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
941
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
942
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
944
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
945
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
947
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
948
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
949
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
950
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
952
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
953
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
954
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
956
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
957
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
961
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
965
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
966
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
969
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
970
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
971
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
972
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
974
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
977
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
978
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
979
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
981
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
982
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
984
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
985
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
986
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
988
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
989
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
990
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
991
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
992
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
993
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
994
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
995
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
998
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
999
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1001
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
1002
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1004
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
1005
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1006
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1007
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1008
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
1009
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1010
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1012
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1013
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1014
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1015
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1016
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1017
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1018
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1019
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1022
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1023
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1024
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1026
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1027
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1029
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
1030
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1032
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1033
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1037
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1038
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1040
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
1041
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
1044
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1045
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1046
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1051
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1052
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1054
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1055
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1056
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
1057
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1058
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1060
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1061
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1062
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1064
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1065
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1067
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1068
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1069
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1073
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1075
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1076
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1077
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1079
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1081
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1083
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1084
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1085
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1086
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1088
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1089
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1090
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1091
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1092
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1094
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1095
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1097
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1098
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1100
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1101
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1103
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1104
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
1107
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1108
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1112
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1113
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1114
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1115
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1116
(John Arbash Meinel)
1118
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1119
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1120
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1122
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1126
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1127
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1128
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1129
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1130
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1131
a more conservative list than the old default.
1132
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1133
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1134
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1135
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1137
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1138
to more locations than just branch locations.
1143
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1144
revno:N:branch. For example,
1145
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1146
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1148
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1149
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1150
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1151
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1152
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1153
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1154
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1155
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1158
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1159
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1160
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1163
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1164
(Alexander Belchenko)
1166
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1168
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1171
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1172
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1173
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1174
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1175
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1176
(John Arbash Meinel)
1178
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1179
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1180
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1181
grained analysis of performance.
1182
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1184
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1185
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1187
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1188
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1189
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1190
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1191
file. (Robert Collins).
1193
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1194
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1195
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1197
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1198
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1201
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1202
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1204
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1205
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1206
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1207
the same way you would apply another branch.
1208
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1210
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1211
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1213
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1216
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1219
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1220
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1221
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1223
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1224
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1225
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1227
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1228
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1230
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1231
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1232
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1233
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1234
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1236
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1237
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1239
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1240
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1241
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1242
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1243
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1244
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1245
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1246
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1248
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1249
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1250
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1254
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1255
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1258
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1259
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1261
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1262
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1264
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1265
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1267
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1269
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1270
(John Arbash Meinel)
1272
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1273
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1275
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1276
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1279
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1280
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1282
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1283
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1285
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1286
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1287
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1288
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1290
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1291
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1293
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1295
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1296
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1298
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1300
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1302
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1303
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1305
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1306
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1308
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1309
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1310
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1312
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1313
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1314
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1316
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1317
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1319
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1320
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1322
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1323
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1325
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1326
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1328
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1329
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1331
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1332
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1333
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1335
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1337
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1338
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1342
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1343
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1344
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1346
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1347
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1349
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1350
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1351
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1353
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1354
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1356
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1357
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1360
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1361
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1362
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1364
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1365
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1366
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1368
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1369
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1370
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1372
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1373
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1374
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1376
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1377
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1378
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1380
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1381
instead. (Robert Collins)
1383
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1385
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1389
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1391
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1395
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1396
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1398
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1399
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1401
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1402
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1403
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1407
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1409
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1410
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1412
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1416
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1417
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1418
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1419
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1423
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1424
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1425
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1429
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1430
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1431
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1435
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1436
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1440
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1442
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1443
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1444
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1445
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1446
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1447
will keep the same format.
1449
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1450
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1451
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1452
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1453
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1455
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1456
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1457
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1458
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1459
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1460
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1461
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1463
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1464
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1465
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1466
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1467
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1469
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1470
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1471
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1477
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1478
convention. Paths now take the form:
5
.. contents:: List of Releases
11
:Codename: Monkey Magic
15
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
16
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
17
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
18
stable and compatible plugin versions.
20
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
21
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
24
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
25
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
31
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
32
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
33
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
34
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
35
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
36
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
38
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
39
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
40
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
41
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
44
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
45
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
46
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
53
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
54
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
55
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
60
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
61
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
62
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
64
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
65
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
66
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
68
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
69
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
71
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
72
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
73
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
75
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
76
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
77
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
79
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
80
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
82
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
83
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
85
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
86
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
88
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
89
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
91
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
92
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
93
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
95
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
96
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
97
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
99
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
100
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
101
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
102
(Robert Collins, #177500)
104
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
105
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
106
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
108
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
110
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
111
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
113
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
114
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
116
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
117
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
120
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
121
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
122
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
123
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
124
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
126
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
127
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
128
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
129
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
131
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
132
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
134
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
135
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
136
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
137
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
142
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
143
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
144
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
146
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
147
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
148
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
149
(Robert Collins, #201613)
151
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
152
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
153
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
154
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
155
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
157
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
158
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
159
(Martin Pool, #340394)
161
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
162
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
163
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
164
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
170
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
172
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
173
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
174
development). (Robert Collins)
176
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
177
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
182
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
183
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
184
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
185
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
187
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
188
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
189
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
192
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
193
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
194
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
196
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
197
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
198
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
201
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
202
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
203
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
205
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
206
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
207
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
208
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
209
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
211
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
212
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
213
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
218
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
219
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
220
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
221
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
224
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
226
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
227
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
228
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
230
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
231
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
237
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
238
to test. (Martin Pool)
240
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.
241
(Vincent Ladeuil, #595587)
248
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
249
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
250
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
251
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
252
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
253
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
254
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
255
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
261
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
262
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
263
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
264
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
265
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
266
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
269
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
270
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
271
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
273
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
274
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
275
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
277
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
278
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
279
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
284
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
286
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
288
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
289
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
290
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
291
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
293
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
294
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
296
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
298
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
299
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
300
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
302
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
303
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
304
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
305
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
306
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
308
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
309
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
310
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
311
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
313
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
314
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
315
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
322
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
323
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
324
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
326
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
327
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
329
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
331
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
332
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
333
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
335
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
336
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
338
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
339
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
341
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
343
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
344
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
345
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
346
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
347
(Robert Collins, #583667)
349
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
350
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
351
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
353
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
354
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
356
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
359
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
362
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
363
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
364
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
366
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
368
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
369
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
371
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
373
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
375
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
376
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
377
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
379
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
380
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
382
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
383
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
384
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
386
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
387
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
388
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
389
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
391
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
392
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
393
to support this efficiently.
394
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
396
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
398
(Martin Pool, #491763)
400
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
401
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
403
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
404
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
406
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
407
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
409
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
411
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
412
(Robert Collins, #558343)
414
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
415
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
416
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
417
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
422
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
423
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
424
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
425
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
426
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
427
(case-sensitive) as false.
428
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
430
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
431
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
432
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
434
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
435
be interpreted as a boolean.
438
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
439
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
440
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
441
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
442
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
450
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
451
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
454
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
455
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
456
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
457
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
458
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
462
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
463
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
464
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
465
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
466
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
467
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
469
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
470
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
471
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
472
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
473
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
474
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
475
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
480
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
481
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
482
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
483
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
485
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
488
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
489
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
490
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
491
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
493
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
495
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
496
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
497
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
498
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
500
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
501
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
502
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #66923)
507
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
508
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
511
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
512
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
514
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
515
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
516
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
518
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
519
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.
527
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
528
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
529
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
530
of these would be welcome.
536
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
537
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
542
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
543
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
544
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
545
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
548
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
549
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
550
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
551
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
553
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
554
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
556
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
557
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
558
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
560
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
561
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
563
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
566
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
569
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
570
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
571
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
573
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
574
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
575
which is not installed any more" error.
576
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
578
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
579
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
580
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
581
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
584
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
585
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
587
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
589
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
590
(Martin von Gagern, 387117)
595
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
596
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
597
(Robert Collins, #530265)
599
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
600
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
603
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
606
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
609
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
610
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
611
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
612
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
613
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
615
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
616
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
617
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
619
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
621
(Martin Pool, #553017)
626
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
627
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
630
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
631
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
636
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
637
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
638
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
639
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
647
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
648
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
649
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
650
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
652
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
653
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
654
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
655
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
656
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
657
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
658
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
659
through the 2.2 series.
661
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
662
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
663
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
668
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
669
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
671
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
672
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
675
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
676
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
678
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
679
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
681
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
682
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
683
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
684
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
685
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
688
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
689
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
690
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
695
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
696
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
698
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
699
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
700
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
702
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
703
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
704
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
705
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
706
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
708
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
709
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
712
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
713
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
716
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
717
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
718
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
719
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
720
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
721
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
723
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
724
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
727
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
728
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
729
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
732
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
733
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
738
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
739
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
741
* Allow additional arguments to
742
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
744
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
745
(Michal Junák, #511987)
747
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
748
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
749
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
750
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
752
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
755
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
756
(Martin Pool, #331095)
758
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
759
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
761
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
762
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
764
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
765
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
766
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
768
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
769
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
770
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
771
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
772
(Robert Collins, #396261)
774
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
775
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
778
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
779
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
781
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
782
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
785
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
786
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
787
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
789
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
790
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
792
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
794
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
795
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
797
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
798
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
799
(Martin Pool, #528722)
801
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
802
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
805
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
806
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
808
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
809
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
810
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
812
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
813
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
814
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
815
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
817
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
819
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
820
deletion is involved.
821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
823
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
824
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
825
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
827
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
828
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
829
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
831
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
832
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
834
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
835
the debugger won't kill the session.
836
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
838
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
839
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
841
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
842
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
843
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
845
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
846
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
851
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
852
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
855
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
856
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
858
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
859
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
861
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
862
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
863
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
864
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
866
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
867
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
868
to be done separately.
869
(Martin Pool, #507710)
871
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
872
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
875
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
876
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
878
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
879
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
881
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
884
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
890
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
891
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
893
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
894
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
895
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
897
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
898
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
899
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
900
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
903
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
904
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
906
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
907
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
909
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
910
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
916
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
917
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
918
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
920
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
923
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
924
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
927
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
928
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
929
dependency regressions.
932
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
933
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
935
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
936
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
938
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
939
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
940
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
941
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
942
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
943
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
948
:Codename: Do run run
949
:2.1.3: NOT RELEASED YET
960
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
961
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
983
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
984
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
985
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
990
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
991
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
992
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
994
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
995
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
997
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
998
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
999
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1001
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1003
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1004
versions before 1.6.
1005
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1007
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1008
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1009
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1010
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1013
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1014
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1016
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1017
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1019
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1020
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1021
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1022
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1027
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1028
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1029
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1030
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1032
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1040
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
1041
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
1046
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1047
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1048
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1049
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1051
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1052
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1054
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
1056
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1057
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1059
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1060
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1062
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1064
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1065
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1066
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1068
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1069
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1070
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1071
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1072
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1074
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1075
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1077
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1078
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
1079
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
1084
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1086
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
1088
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
1089
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
1094
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1095
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1096
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1097
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1103
:Codename: Strasbourg
1106
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
1107
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
1108
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
1110
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
1111
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
1112
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
1113
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
1114
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
1115
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
1117
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
1122
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
1123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
1125
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
1126
(Martin Pool, #513432)
1128
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
1129
when it encounters conflicts.
1130
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
1132
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
1133
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
1135
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
1136
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
1137
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
1138
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
1139
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
1140
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1142
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
1143
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
1144
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
1149
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
1155
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
1156
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1159
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
1160
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
1163
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
1164
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1166
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
1167
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
1168
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
1169
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
1170
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
1171
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
1172
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
1173
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
1175
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
1177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
1182
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
1183
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
1184
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
1186
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
1191
* The ``remove_index`` method of
1192
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
1193
argument. This argument was always ignored.
1194
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1199
:Codename: after the bubbles
1200
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
1202
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
1203
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
1208
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
1209
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
1210
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
1211
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
1212
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
1213
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
1214
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
1220
:Codename: the 'new' stable
1221
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
1223
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
1224
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
1225
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
1226
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
1227
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
1228
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
1229
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
1230
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
1231
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
1237
* Add bug information to log output when available.
1238
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
1240
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
1241
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
1244
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
1245
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
1246
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
1249
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
1250
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
1252
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
1253
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
1255
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
1256
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
1257
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
1259
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
1260
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
1261
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
1262
Martin Pool, #45719)
1264
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
1265
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
1266
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
1268
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
1269
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
1270
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
1271
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
1272
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
1273
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
1275
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
1276
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
1277
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
1278
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
1279
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
1284
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
1285
user-specified commit message editor.
1286
(Martin Pool, #504842)
1288
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
1289
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
1290
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
1292
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
1293
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
1294
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
1296
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
1297
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
1299
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1300
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1301
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1302
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1303
another process already removed the file.
1304
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1306
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
1307
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
1309
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
1310
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
1311
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
1313
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
1314
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
1316
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
1317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
1319
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
1320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
1322
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
1323
(Martin Pool, #320035)
1325
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
1326
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
1327
depended on this behaviour.
1328
(Martin Pool, #499757)
1330
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
1331
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
1332
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
1333
should appear up-to-date.)
1334
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
1339
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
1340
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
1341
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
1342
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
1344
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
1345
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
1347
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
1348
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
1349
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1351
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
1352
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
1353
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1355
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
1356
(__monty__, #257170)
1358
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
1359
Bazaar is doing network IO.
1365
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
1366
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
1368
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
1369
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
1371
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
1372
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
1374
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
1375
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
1377
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
1378
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
1379
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1381
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
1384
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
1385
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
1391
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
1394
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
1395
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
1396
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
1397
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1399
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1400
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1401
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1403
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1404
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1406
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1407
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1408
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1409
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1411
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1417
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1418
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1419
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1421
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1422
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1423
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1424
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1426
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1427
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1432
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1433
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1434
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1435
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1436
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1438
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1439
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1440
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1441
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
1442
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1443
suite. (Robert Collins)
1445
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1446
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1447
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1449
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1450
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
1456
:2.0.6: NOT RELEASED YET
1461
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
1462
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
1463
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1465
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
1466
both working tree and branch.
1467
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
1469
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1470
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1471
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1473
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1474
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1476
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1477
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1479
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1480
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1481
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1482
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1483
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1485
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1486
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1487
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1488
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1490
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1491
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1492
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1493
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1501
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
1502
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
1503
earlier 2.0 releases.
1508
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1509
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1511
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1512
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1513
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1514
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1515
another process already removed the file.
1516
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1518
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1519
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1521
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1523
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
1524
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
1525
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
1527
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
1529
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
1530
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
1532
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
1533
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
1534
``UnboundLocalError``.
1535
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1537
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
1538
version number along with rest of the help text.
1539
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
1541
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
1543
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
1548
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
1549
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
1551
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1552
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1558
:Codename: smooth sailing
1561
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
1562
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
1563
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
1564
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
1570
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
1571
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
1573
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
1574
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
1575
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
1576
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
1578
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
1579
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
1580
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
1581
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
1582
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
1584
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
1585
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
1586
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
1588
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
1589
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
1590
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
1591
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
1593
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
1594
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
1596
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
1597
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
1598
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
1599
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
1600
(Martin Pool, #456077)
1602
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
1603
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
1604
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
1605
users, rather than something nicer.
1606
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
1608
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
1609
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
1611
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
1612
build. (there is still the distutils bug
1613
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
1615
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
1616
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
1617
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
1619
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
1620
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
1621
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
1622
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
1623
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
1625
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
1626
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
1627
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
1632
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
1633
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
1634
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
1635
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
1644
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
1645
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
1646
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
1647
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
1648
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
1649
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
1652
Compatibility Breaks
1653
********************
1655
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
1656
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
1657
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
1658
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
1659
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
1664
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
1665
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
1667
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
1668
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
1670
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
1671
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
1673
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
1674
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
1675
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
1676
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
1680
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
1681
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
1689
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
1690
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
1691
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
1693
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
1694
and issues a warning.
1695
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
1697
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
1699
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
1700
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
1702
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
1703
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
1704
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
1705
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
1707
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
1709
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
1710
(Robert Collins, #84659)
1712
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
1714
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
1715
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
1717
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
1719
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
1720
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1722
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
1723
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
1724
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
1725
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
1727
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
1728
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
1730
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
1731
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
1733
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
1734
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
1735
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
1737
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
1738
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
1739
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
1740
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
1742
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
1743
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
1744
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
1746
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
1747
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
1748
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
1749
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
1751
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
1752
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
1753
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
1759
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1761
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
1762
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1764
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
1765
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
1766
(John Arbash Meinel)
1768
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
1769
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
1772
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
1773
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
1774
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
1775
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
1776
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
1781
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
1787
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
1789
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
1790
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
1791
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
1797
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
1798
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
1799
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
1800
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1802
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
1803
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
1804
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
1805
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
1806
(John Arbash Meinel)
1808
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
1809
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
1810
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
1811
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
1812
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
1813
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1818
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
1819
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
1825
:Codename: little italy
1829
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
1830
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
1836
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
1837
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
1838
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1840
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
1841
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
1843
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
1844
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
1845
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
1846
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
1848
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1854
:Codename: after sprint recovery
1855
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
1857
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
1858
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
1859
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
1860
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
1862
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
1863
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
1864
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
1865
formats for Remote objects.
1871
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
1872
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
1877
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
1879
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
1881
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
1882
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
1884
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1886
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
1887
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
1888
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
1889
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
1890
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
1891
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
1893
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
1894
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
1895
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
1896
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
1898
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
1899
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
1901
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
1902
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
1904
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
1905
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
1906
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
1907
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
1908
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
1909
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
1910
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1912
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
1913
(Alexander Belchenko)
1915
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
1916
Python level. (Martin Pool)
1921
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
1923
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
1924
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
1925
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
1927
(Martin Pool, 493944)
1932
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
1933
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
1934
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
1939
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
1940
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
1942
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
1943
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
1945
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
1946
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
1948
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
1949
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
1951
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1952
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
1953
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
1954
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
1956
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
1957
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
1959
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1960
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
1961
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
1962
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
1964
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
1965
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
1966
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
1967
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
1974
:Codename: a load off my mind
1975
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
1977
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
1978
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
1980
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
1981
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
1982
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
1983
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
1984
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
1987
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
1988
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
1989
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
1990
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
1991
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
1992
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
1997
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
1998
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2000
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2001
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2002
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2003
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2005
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2006
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2008
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2009
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2010
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2011
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2013
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2014
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2016
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
2017
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
2022
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2023
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2024
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2025
(John Arbash Meinel)
2027
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
2028
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
2029
(John Arbash Meinel)
2034
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2035
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
2040
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
2042
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
2043
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
2049
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2050
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2051
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2052
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2053
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2054
(John Arbash Meinel)
2056
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2057
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2058
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2059
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2060
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2061
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2062
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2063
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2064
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2066
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2067
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2068
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2069
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2070
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2071
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2072
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2074
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2075
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2076
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2077
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
2083
:Codename: after the scare
2086
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
2087
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
2088
changes or features.
2093
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
2094
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
2096
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
2099
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2101
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
2102
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
2103
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
2105
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
2106
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
2108
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
2109
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
2111
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
2112
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
2117
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
2118
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
2123
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2124
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
2130
:Codename: While the cat is away
2131
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
2133
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
2134
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
2135
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
2136
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
2137
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
2138
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
2139
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
2141
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
2142
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
2143
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
2144
error handling during unlocking.
2150
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
2153
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
2154
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
2155
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
2156
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
2157
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
2158
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
2160
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
2161
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
2162
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
2164
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
2165
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
2168
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
2169
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
2170
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
2172
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
2173
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
2176
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
2177
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
2178
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
2183
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2184
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2185
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2186
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2187
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2188
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2189
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2191
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2192
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2193
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2195
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2196
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
2197
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
2198
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
2200
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
2201
merges are present in the working tree.
2202
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
2204
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2205
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2207
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
2208
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
2210
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
2211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
2213
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
2214
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
2215
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
2217
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2218
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2220
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
2221
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
2223
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
2224
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
2226
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
2227
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
2228
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
2233
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
2234
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
2235
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
2237
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
2238
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
2239
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
2240
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
2241
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
2242
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
2243
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
2244
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
2246
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
2247
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
2248
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
2249
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
2250
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
2255
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2257
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2258
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2263
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
2264
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2266
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
2267
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
2269
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
2270
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
2271
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
2273
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
2276
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
2277
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
2278
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
2279
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
2280
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
2282
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
2284
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
2290
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
2291
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
2294
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
2295
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
2296
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
2297
(John Arbash Meinel)
2299
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
2300
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
2306
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
2307
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
2309
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
2310
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
2312
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
2313
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
2316
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
2318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
2320
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
2321
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
2323
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
2324
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
2325
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2327
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
2328
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
2329
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
2330
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
2331
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
2333
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
2334
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
2336
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
2337
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
2343
:Codename: Stability First
2346
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
2347
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
2348
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
2354
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2355
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2356
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2358
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
2359
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
2360
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
2362
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
2363
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
2364
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
2366
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
2367
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
2369
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
2370
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
2371
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
2372
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
2373
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
2375
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
2376
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
2378
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
2379
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
2380
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
2381
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
2383
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
2384
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
2385
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
2387
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
2388
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
2389
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
2390
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
2391
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
2392
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
2393
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
2395
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
2396
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2398
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
2399
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
2400
to download the entire cix file many times.
2401
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
2403
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
2404
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
2409
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2411
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
2419
:Codename: Instant Karma
2421
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2422
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2423
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2424
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2425
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
2428
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2429
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2431
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2432
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2433
months or until the following stable release.
2435
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2436
******************************
2438
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2439
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2440
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2441
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2447
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
2452
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
2453
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
2454
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
2459
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2460
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2461
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2462
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2463
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2464
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2465
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2467
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2468
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2469
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2471
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2472
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2474
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
2475
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
2476
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2478
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2479
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2481
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2482
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2483
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2484
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2485
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2486
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2487
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2489
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2490
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2491
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2492
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2493
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2494
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2496
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2497
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2498
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2500
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2501
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2502
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2504
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2505
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2506
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2508
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2509
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2511
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2512
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2513
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
2514
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
2519
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
2520
older smart servers.
2521
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
2523
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2524
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2526
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
2527
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
2528
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
2530
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
2531
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
2532
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
2534
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
2535
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
2545
********************
2547
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
2548
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
2549
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
2550
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
2551
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
2553
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
2554
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
2555
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
2556
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
2561
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
2562
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2567
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2568
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2570
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
2571
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
2572
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
2573
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
2574
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
2576
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
2577
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
2578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
2580
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2581
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2583
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
2584
(Martin Pool, #286871)
2586
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
2587
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
2588
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
2590
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
2591
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
2592
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
2593
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
2598
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2599
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2600
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2602
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
2603
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
2604
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
2605
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
2607
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
2609
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
2610
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2612
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
2613
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2615
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
2616
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
2617
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
2619
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
2620
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
2621
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
2622
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
2623
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
2624
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
2629
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
2635
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2636
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2637
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2645
:Codename: nein nein nein!
2648
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
2649
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
2650
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
2651
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
2652
pushing to older servers.
2657
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
2658
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
2659
(Martin Pool, #415508)
2661
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
2662
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
2663
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
2668
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
2669
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2671
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
2672
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2677
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2678
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2679
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2681
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
2682
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
2683
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
2685
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
2686
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
2687
should be used. (Robert Collins)
2692
Compatibility Breaks
2693
********************
2695
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
2696
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
2697
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
2698
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
2699
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
2707
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
2708
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
2709
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
2710
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
2711
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
2713
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2716
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
2717
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
2719
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2720
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2722
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
2723
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
2724
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
2725
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
2727
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
2728
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
2729
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
2731
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
2732
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
2734
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
2735
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
2736
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
2737
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
2742
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2743
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2744
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2746
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
2747
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
2748
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
2749
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
2750
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
2752
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
2753
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
2754
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
2755
(John Arbash Meinel)
2766
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
2767
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
2768
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
2769
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
2770
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
2771
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
2773
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
2774
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
2775
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
2776
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
2778
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
2779
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
2780
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
2781
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
2782
(John Arbash Meinel)
2784
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
2785
protocols. (Robert Collins)
2787
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
2788
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
2789
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
2790
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
2796
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
2797
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
2805
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
2807
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
2808
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
2809
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
2810
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
2811
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
2812
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
2814
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2815
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
2816
or until the following stable release.
2818
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
2823
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
2824
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
2826
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
2827
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
2828
(Martin Pool, #391411)
2833
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
2834
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
2835
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
2837
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
2838
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
2839
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
2840
(Martin Pool, #123688)
2842
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
2843
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
2844
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
2845
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
2847
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
2848
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
2850
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
2851
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
2852
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
2853
(Robert Collins, #282402)
2855
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
2856
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
2858
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
2859
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
2861
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
2862
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
2863
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
2864
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
2865
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
2867
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
2868
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
2869
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
2871
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
2872
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
2873
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
2874
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
2875
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
2877
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
2878
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
2880
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
2881
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
2882
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
2884
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
2885
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
2886
(Martin Pool, #408201)
2888
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
2889
(Martin Pool, #403523)
2891
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
2892
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
2893
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
2895
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
2896
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
2898
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
2899
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
2901
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
2902
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
2904
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
2905
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
2906
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
2908
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
2909
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
2910
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
2912
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2914
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
2915
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
2917
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
2918
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
2919
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
2920
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
2921
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
2922
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
2924
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2925
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2926
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2928
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
2929
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
2930
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
2931
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
2933
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
2934
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
2935
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
2936
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
2937
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
2939
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
2940
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
2941
(Robert Collins, #187207)
2946
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
2949
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
2950
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
2951
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
2952
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
2954
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
2955
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
2956
(John Arbash Meinel)
2961
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2966
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
2967
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
2968
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
2969
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
2970
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
2971
passwords. (Martin Pool)
2973
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
2976
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
2979
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
2983
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
2984
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
2989
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
2990
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
2991
paths. (Robert Collins)
2993
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
2994
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
2996
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
2997
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
2998
disk. (Robert Collins)
3000
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3001
it. (Robert Collins)
3003
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3004
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
3005
(Alexander Belchenko)
3011
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
3012
(Martin Pool, #409684)
3014
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3015
(Martin Pool, #408199)
3017
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
3018
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
3019
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
3020
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
3021
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
3022
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
3025
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
3026
#######################
3031
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3032
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3033
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
3039
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
3043
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
3044
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
3047
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
3048
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
3049
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
3050
annoying progress bar artifacts.
3053
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
3054
*********************************
3056
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
3057
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
3058
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
3060
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
3061
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
3062
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)

* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
3065
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
3068
Compatibility Breaks
3069
********************
3071
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
3072
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
3073
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
3074
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
3080
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3081
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3082
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
3083
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
3085
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
3086
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
3087
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3089
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3090
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
3091
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
3093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
3095
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
3096
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
3097
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
3098
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3104
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3105
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3107
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3108
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3109
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3110
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3112
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3113
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3115
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3116
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3117
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3119
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3120
(Martin Pool, #321935)
3122
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3123
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3125
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3126
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3128
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3129
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3130
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
3132
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
3135
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
3136
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
3138
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
3139
of a remote repository.
3140
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
3142
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
3143
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
3146
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
3148
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
3150
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
3151
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
3153
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
3154
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
3156
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
3157
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
3158
(Martin Pool, #339385)
3160
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
3161
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
3162
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
3163
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
3164
(John Arbash Meinel)
3166
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
3167
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
3168
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
3170
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
3171
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
3172
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
3173
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
3174
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
3175
(Robert Collins, #376243)
3177
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
3178
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
3179
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
3180
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
3181
activity display respectively.
3182
(Martin Pool, #340347)
3184
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
3185
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
3187
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
3190
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
3191
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
3197
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
3198
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
3199
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
3200
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
3202
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
3203
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
3204
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
3205
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
3208
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
3209
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
3211
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
3212
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
3213
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
3214
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
3215
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
3216
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3218
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
3219
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
3220
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
3221
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
3223
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
3224
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
3225
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
3226
(John Arbash Meinel)
3229
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
3230
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
3231
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
3232
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
3238
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
3239
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
3240
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
3241
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3243
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
3244
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
3245
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
3247
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
3250
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
3251
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
3253
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
3254
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
3255
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3257
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
3258
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
3259
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
3260
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3262
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
3268
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
3269
formatting in the user reference.
3270
(Martin Pool, #249908)
3272
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
3278
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
3281
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
3282
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
3283
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
3289
:Released: 2009-06-26
3291
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
3292
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
3293
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
3296
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
3297
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
3298
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
3300
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
3301
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
3306
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
3307
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3309
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
3310
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
3311
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
3313
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
3314
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
3315
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
3316
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
3317
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
3318
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
3319
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3321
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
3322
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
3323
converted data. (Robert Collins)
3325
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
3326
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
3327
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
3329
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
3330
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
3331
that. (Robert Collins)
3333
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
3334
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
3335
repository. (Robert Collins)
3337
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
3338
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
3339
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
3340
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
3350
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
3351
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
3352
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
3353
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
3355
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
3356
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
3357
bug fixes and improvements.
3360
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
3361
*********************************
3363
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
3364
2a can work correctly.
3365
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
3367
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3368
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3369
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3372
Compatibility Breaks
3373
********************
3375
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
3376
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
3377
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
3383
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
3384
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
3385
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
3386
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
3387
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
3388
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
3391
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
3392
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
3393
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
3394
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
3396
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
3397
and more concisely repacks the full history.
3399
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
3400
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
3402
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
3403
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
3404
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3406
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
3407
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
3413
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
3414
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
3415
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3417
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3418
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3419
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3420
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3421
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3423
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3424
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3425
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3426
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3428
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3429
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3435
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3436
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
3437
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
3438
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3444
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
3445
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
3447
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3448
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
3450
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3451
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3452
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3454
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3455
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3457
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3458
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3459
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3461
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3462
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3463
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3464
(John Arbash Meinel)
3466
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
3467
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
3469
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
3470
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
3472
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
3473
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3475
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
3476
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
3477
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
3478
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
3479
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3480
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3482
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
3484
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
3485
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
3487
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3488
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3490
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3491
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3492
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3493
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3494
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3496
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3497
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3498
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3499
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3504
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
3505
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
3506
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
3511
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
3513
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
3514
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
3515
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3517
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
3518
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
3519
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
3521
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
3522
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3524
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
3525
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
3530
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
3531
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3536
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
3537
(Martin Pool, #386180)
3539
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
3541
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3543
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
3548
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
3552
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
3553
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
3554
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
3555
revisions introduce the exact same line.
3557
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
3558
*****************************
3560
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
3561
(Alexander Belchenko)
3563
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
3564
*********************************
3566
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3567
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3568
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3569
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
3572
*********************************
3576
Compatibility Breaks
3577
********************
3579
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
3580
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
3581
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
3582
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
3587
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3588
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3591
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
3592
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
3593
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
3594
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3596
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
3597
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
3598
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
3599
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
3601
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3602
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3605
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
3606
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
3607
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3612
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
3613
server. (Jonathan Lange)
3615
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
3616
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
3618
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
3619
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
3620
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
3622
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
3627
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
3628
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
3630
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
3632
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
3633
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
3635
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
3636
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
3638
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
3639
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
3641
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
3642
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
3643
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
3644
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
3646
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
3647
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
3649
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3650
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3652
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
3653
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
3655
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
3656
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
3658
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
3659
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
3661
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
3662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
3664
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
3665
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3667
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
3668
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
3669
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
3670
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
3671
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
3672
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
3673
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
3674
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
3675
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
3676
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
3677
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
3678
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
3679
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
3680
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
3682
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
3683
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
3684
(Robert Collins, #368921)
3686
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
3687
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
3695
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
3696
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
3697
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
3699
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
3700
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
3701
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
3702
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
3703
(Alexander Belchenko)
3708
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
3709
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
3710
encoding. (Robert Collins)
3712
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
3713
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
3716
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
3717
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
3718
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
3719
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
3720
configuration. (Robert Collins)
3722
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
3723
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
3724
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
3726
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
3727
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
3728
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
3729
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
3731
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
3732
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
3733
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
3735
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
3736
backwards. (Robert Collins)
3738
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
3739
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
3740
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3741
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
3743
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
3744
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
3745
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3747
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
3748
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
3750
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
3751
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
3752
branches. (Robert Collins)
3754
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
3755
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3757
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
3762
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
3763
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
3814
********************
3816
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
3817
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
3818
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
3819
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
3820
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3822
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
3823
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
3824
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
3826
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
3827
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
3828
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
3829
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
3830
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3835
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
3836
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
3837
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
3838
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
3839
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
3842
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
3845
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
3846
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3848
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
3849
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
3850
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
3851
directory, not just the directory object itself.
3852
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
3854
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
3855
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
3857
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
3860
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
3861
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
3862
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
3863
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
3866
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
3867
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
3868
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
3869
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
3870
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3872
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
3873
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
3876
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
3882
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
3883
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
3884
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
3886
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
3887
the data when the target repository does not need topological
3888
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
3889
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
3890
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3892
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
3893
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
3896
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
3897
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
3898
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
3900
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
3903
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
3906
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
3907
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3909
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3910
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3912
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
3913
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
3915
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
3916
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
3919
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
3920
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
3921
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3923
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
3924
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
3925
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
3928
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
3929
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
3930
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
3931
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
3933
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
3934
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
3935
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
3936
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
3937
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
3938
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
3939
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
3940
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
3941
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3943
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
3949
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3950
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3951
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3952
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3953
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3954
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3955
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3957
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3958
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3960
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
3961
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
3962
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
3963
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
3965
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
3966
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
3968
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
3970
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3973
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3974
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3975
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3977
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3978
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3980
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
3981
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
3983
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
3984
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
3985
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
3987
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
3988
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
3989
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
3990
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3992
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3994
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
3995
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
3997
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
3998
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
3999
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4000
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4001
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4003
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4004
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4005
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4006
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4007
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4008
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4009
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4011
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4012
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4014
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4015
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4018
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4019
(James Westby, #341558)
4021
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4022
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4024
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4025
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
4030
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4032
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4034
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
4035
(James Westby, #336998)
4040
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4043
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4044
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4047
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4048
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4051
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4052
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4053
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4055
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4056
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4057
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4059
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4060
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4061
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4062
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4065
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4066
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4069
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4072
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4073
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4075
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4076
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4077
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4078
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4080
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4081
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4082
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4087
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4088
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4089
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4090
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4091
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4093
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4096
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4097
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4098
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4099
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4105
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4106
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4108
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4109
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4111
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4112
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4113
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4115
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4116
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4117
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4118
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4120
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4121
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4122
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4123
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4125
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4126
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4127
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4129
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4130
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4131
dependency. (Robert Collins)
4133
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
4134
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
4135
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4137
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
4138
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
4141
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
4142
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
4143
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
4145
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
4146
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4148
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
4149
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
4150
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4152
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
4153
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
4156
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
4157
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
4158
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4160
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
4161
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
4162
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
4163
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
4164
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
4166
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
4167
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
4168
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
4169
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4171
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
4172
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
4173
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
4174
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4176
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
4177
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
4178
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4180
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
4181
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
4184
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
4185
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
4186
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
4188
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
4189
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
4190
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
4191
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
4192
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
4194
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
4195
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
4196
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
4199
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
4200
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
4201
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
4202
desired. (Robert Collins)
4204
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
4205
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
4206
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
4207
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4209
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
4210
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
4211
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
4228
*****************************
4230
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
4231
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
4232
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
4233
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
4234
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
4235
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
4241
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
4242
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
4243
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4245
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
4246
********************************
4248
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
4249
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
4250
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
4255
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
4256
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
4258
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
4259
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
4261
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
4262
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
4264
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4266
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
4267
*********************************
4269
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4270
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4271
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4273
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4274
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4276
Compatibility Breaks
4277
********************
4279
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
4280
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
4281
command may need to be adjusted.
4282
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4287
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
4288
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
4289
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
4291
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
4294
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
4295
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
4296
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
4299
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
4300
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
4302
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
4303
(John Arbash Meinel)
4305
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
4306
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
4308
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
4310
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
4311
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
4314
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
4320
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
4321
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
4322
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
4323
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
4324
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
4325
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
4326
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
4327
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
4330
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
4331
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
4333
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
4334
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
4335
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
4337
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
4338
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
4340
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
4341
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
4342
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
4345
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
4346
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
4347
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4349
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
4350
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
4351
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
4352
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4354
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
4357
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
4358
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
4360
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
4361
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
4363
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
4364
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
4365
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
4367
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
4372
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
4373
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
4375
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
4376
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
4377
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
4379
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
4380
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
4381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
4383
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
4384
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
4386
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
4387
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
4390
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
4391
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
4392
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
4394
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
4395
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
4397
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
4398
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
4400
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
4401
(James Westby, #174539)
4403
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4404
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4406
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
4407
error branching from old repositories.
4408
(Martin Pool, #321695)
4410
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
4411
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
4413
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
4414
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
4415
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4416
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4418
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4419
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4422
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4423
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4425
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4426
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4428
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4429
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4430
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4432
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4433
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4435
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
4436
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
4441
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
4442
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
4443
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
4446
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4447
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
4449
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
4450
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
4455
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4456
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4457
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4458
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4459
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4461
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4462
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4464
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4465
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4466
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4467
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4468
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4469
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4471
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4472
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4474
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
4475
"author" argument being deprecated.
4477
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
4479
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4480
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4481
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4482
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4484
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4485
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4486
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4488
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4489
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4490
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4492
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4493
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4495
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4496
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4497
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4498
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4503
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4504
free of virtual file system methods.
4505
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4507
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4508
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4509
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4511
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4512
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4513
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4514
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4515
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4516
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4518
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4520
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4521
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4523
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
4524
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
4525
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
4526
stream the operation.
4527
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4529
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
4530
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
4532
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
4533
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
4534
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
4535
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
4536
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4538
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
4539
branch object. (Robert Collins)
4541
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
4542
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
4543
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
4545
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
4546
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
4549
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
4552
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
4553
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
4554
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4556
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
4557
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
4558
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4560
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
4561
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
4562
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4564
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
4565
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
4566
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4568
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
4569
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
4570
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
4571
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
4572
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
4574
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
4575
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
4576
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
4577
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
4578
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
4579
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
4581
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
4582
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
4583
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
4584
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
4585
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4587
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
4588
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4590
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
4591
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
4593
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
4594
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
4595
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
4596
to access private data in record to obtain content more
4597
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4599
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
4600
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

4611
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
4612
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
4613
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
4614
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
4615
by showing the rate of network IO.
4617
Changes from RC1 to Final
4618
*************************
4620
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
4621
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
4623
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
4624
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4626
Compatibility Breaks
4627
********************
4629
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
4630
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
4631
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
4632
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
4634
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
4635
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
4636
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
4639
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
4640
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
4641
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
4642
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4644
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
4645
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
4646
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
4649
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4654
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
4655
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
4656
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
4659
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
4660
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
4661
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
4663
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
4664
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
4665
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
4666
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
4667
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
4668
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
4669
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
4670
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
4671
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
4677
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
4680
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
4683
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
4684
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
4685
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
4687
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
4688
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
4689
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
4690
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
4691
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
4693
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
4694
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
4696
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
4697
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
4698
level for better precision.
4701
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
4702
rules. (Marius Kruger)
4704
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
4705
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
4706
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
4708
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
4709
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
4710
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
4713
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
4714
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
4715
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
4720
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
4722
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
4724
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
4725
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
4726
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
4728
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
4729
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
4730
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
4731
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
4732
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
4733
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
4735
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
4736
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
4738
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
4739
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
4741
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
4742
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4743
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4745
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
4746
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
4747
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
4750
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
4751
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
4753
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
4754
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
4755
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
4756
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
4758
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
4759
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
4761
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4763
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
4768
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4773
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
4774
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
4777
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
4778
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4780
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
4781
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4783
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
4784
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4786
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
4787
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
4788
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
4789
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
4791
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
4792
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
4793
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
4798
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
4799
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
4800
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
4801
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
4802
compile buffers, are such an example).
4805
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
4806
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
4809
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
4810
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
4811
efficient way of doing the mapping.
4814
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
4815
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
4817
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
4818
formatters to retrict the output.

:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4826
:Released: 2009-01-19
4828
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
4829
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
4830
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
4831
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
4832
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
4834
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
4835
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
4838
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
4839
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
4844
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
4847
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

4856
:Released: 2009-01-09
4861
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
4862
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4867
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
4868
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
4870
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
4871
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
4872
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
4873
implement other plugins.
4876
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
4882
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
4883
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
4885
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
4886
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
4888
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
4889
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
4890
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
4891
processes which drag in shell extensions.
4894
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
4895
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
4896
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
4897
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
4898
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
4900
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
4901
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
4902
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
4903
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
4904
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
4909
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
4910
control directory. (#139691)
4912
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
4913
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
4915
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
4916
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
4918
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
4919
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
4920
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
4922
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
4923
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
4925
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
4926
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4927
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4929
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
4930
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
4932
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
4935
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
4936
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
4937
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
4939
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
4940
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
4942
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
4943
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
4944
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
4946
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
4947
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
4948
in the appropriate sections.
4949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
4951
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
4952
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
4953
(John Arbash meinel)
4955
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
4956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
4958
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
4959
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
4961
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
4962
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4964
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
4965
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
4966
work better with how it splits its requests.
4967
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
4969
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4970
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4971
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4973
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
4976
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
4978
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
4979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
4981
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
4987
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
4988
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
4989
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
4995
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
4996
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
4997
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
4998
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5000
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5001
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5003
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5004
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5005
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5006
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5008
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5009
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5010
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5011
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5016
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
5017
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
5018
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
5020
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
5021
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
5022
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
5023
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
5025
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
5026
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
5027
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
5033
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
5034
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
5035
(John Arbash Meinel)
5037
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
5038
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
5039
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
5040
(John Arbash Meinel)
5042
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
5043
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
5044
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
5045
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
5047
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
5048
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
5049
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
5051
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
5052
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
5053
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
5054
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
5056
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
5057
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
5058
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
5059
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
5060
(John Arbash Meinel)
5062
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
5063
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
5065
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
5066
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
5067
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
5069
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
5070
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
5071
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
5072
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
5074
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
5075
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
5076
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
5077
(John Arbash Meinel)
5079
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
5080
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
5081
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
5082
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
5083
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
5084
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
5085
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5087
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
5088
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
5095
:Released: 2008-12-05
5097
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
5098
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
5099
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
5100
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
5103
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
5108
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
5109
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
5110
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
5111
(Martin Pool, #303856)
5113
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
5114
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
5115
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
5116
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
5117
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
5123
:Released: 2008-11-28
5125
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5126
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5127
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5128
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5129
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
5134
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
5135
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5137
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
5143
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
5144
history just to set the last revision info.
5145
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5147
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
5148
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
5149
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
5150
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5152
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
5153
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
5154
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
5155
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
5156
(John Arbash Meinel)
5158
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
5159
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5161
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
5162
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
5163
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
5164
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
5165
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
5167
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
5168
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
5169
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
5170
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
5175
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
5176
(Martin Pool, #289148)
5178
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
5179
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
5181
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
5182
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
5183
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
5184
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
5186
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
5187
starting with a dotted revno.
5188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
5190
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
5191
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
5192
(Martin Pool, #288751)
5194
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5195
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5196
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5198
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
5199
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
5200
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
5202
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
5203
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
5204
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
5205
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
5207
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
5208
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
5209
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
5211
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
5212
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
5217
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
5218
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
5219
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
5220
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
5222
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
5223
have changed incompatibly.
5225
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
5226
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
5227
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
5228
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
5229
don't need to change.
5231
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
5232
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
5237
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
5238
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
5240
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
5246
:Released: 2008-11-07
5248
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
5249
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
5250
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
5251
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
5252
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
5253
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
5258
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
5259
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
5261
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
5263
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
5264
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
5265
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
5271
:Released: 2008-10-31
5276
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
5277
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
5279
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
5280
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
5281
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
5282
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
5287
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
5288
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
5289
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
5290
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
5291
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
5292
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
5294
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
5295
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5297
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
5298
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
5299
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
5301
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
5302
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
5303
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
5306
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
5307
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
5309
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
5310
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
5312
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
5313
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
5315
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
5316
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
5317
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
5318
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
5319
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
5320
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
5321
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
5322
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
5323
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
5324
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5329
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
5330
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
5332
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
5333
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
5335
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
5336
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
5337
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
5339
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
5340
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
5341
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
5343
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
5344
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
5345
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
5347
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
5348
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
5349
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
5350
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
5351
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
5352
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
5354
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
5355
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
5357
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
5358
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
5360
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
5361
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
5362
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
5363
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
5364
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5366
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5367
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5368
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
5369
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
5374
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
5379
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
5384
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
5385
configuration of authetication credentials.
5391
:Released: 2008-10-16
5393
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
5394
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
5395
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
5396
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
5397
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
5402
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
5403
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
5408
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
5409
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
5415
:Released: 2008-10-07
5420
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
5421
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
5422
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
5423
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
5424
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5426
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
5427
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
5429
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
5430
server. (Marius Kruger)
5432
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
5433
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
5434
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
5435
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
5436
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
5437
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
5442
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
5443
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
5444
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
5446
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
5451
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
5452
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
5453
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
5454
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
5456
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
5457
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
5460
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
5461
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
5464
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
5467
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
5469
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
5470
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
5472
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
5473
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
5475
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
5476
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
5477
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
5478
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
5479
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
5480
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
5481
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
5482
operations. (Robert Collins)
5484
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
5486
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
5487
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
5488
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
5493
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
5494
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
5495
(Martin Pool, #279381)
5497
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5498
repository now preserves the repository format.
5499
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5501
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
5502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
5504
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
5505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
5507
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
5509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
5511
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5514
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
5515
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
5516
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
5518
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
5519
is in a different repository than the current one.
5520
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
5522
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
5523
(David Futcher, #242106)
5525
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
5526
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5528
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
5529
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
5530
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
5531
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
5533
* Trivial documentation fix.
5534
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
5536
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5537
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5538
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
5539
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
5544
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
5549
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
5550
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
5551
to use. (Robert Collins)
5553
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
5554
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
5555
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
5557
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
5558
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
5559
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
5560
they want. (Robert Collins)
5565
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
5566
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
5567
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
5569
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
5570
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
5573
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
5576
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
5577
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
5579
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
5585
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
5586
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
5588
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
5589
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
5590
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
5592
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
5593
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
5594
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
5596
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
5597
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5599
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
5600
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
5602
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
5603
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
5605
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
5606
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
5607
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
5608
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
5616
:Released: 2008-10-01
5618
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
5624
:Released: 2008-09-24
5626
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
5627
file paths when we encounter complex history.
5632
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
5633
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
5634
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
5635
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
5636
(John Arbash Meinel)
5642
:Released: 2008-09-23
5644
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
5645
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
5646
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
5647
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
5648
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
5649
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
5654
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
5655
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
5656
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
5662
:Released: 2008-09-17
5664
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
5665
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
5666
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
5667
connect to the stacked-on location.
5672
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5673
repository now preserves the repository format.
5674
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5676
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
5677
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
5679
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
5682
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5689
:Released: 2008-09-09
5691
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
5692
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
5693
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
5694
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
5695
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
5696
it in a future repository format.
5702
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
5705
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
5706
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
5707
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
5709
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
5710
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
5711
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
5716
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
5717
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
5719
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
5724
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
5725
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
5728
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
5729
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
5731
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
5732
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
5735
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
5736
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
5737
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
5738
(John Arbash Meinel)
5740
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
5741
(Martin Pool, #261315)
5743
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
5744
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
5745
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
5746
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
5747
(John Arbash Meinel)
5749
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
5750
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
5751
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
5752
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
5753
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
5754
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
5755
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
5756
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
5757
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
5758
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5763
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
5764
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
5766
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
5767
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
5768
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
5770
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
5771
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
5772
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
5774
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
5775
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
5776
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
5777
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
5778
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
5779
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
5781
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
5782
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
5784
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
5785
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
5787
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
5788
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
5789
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
5790
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
5791
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
5792
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
5794
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
5795
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
5797
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
5798
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
5800
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
5801
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
5802
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
5803
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
5805
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
5806
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
5808
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
5809
assuming the host name is ascii.
5810
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
5812
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
5813
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
5818
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5823
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
5825
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
5826
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
5827
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
5830
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
5831
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5833
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
5834
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5836
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
5837
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5842
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
5843
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
5844
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
5845
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
5847
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
5851
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
5852
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
5853
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5855
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
5861
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
5862
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
5865
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
5866
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
5867
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
5868
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
5869
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5871
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
5872
is unknown in both source and target.
5873
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
5875
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
5876
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
5877
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
5878
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5880
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
5881
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with

``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in

A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
5892
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
5893
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
5899
:Released: 2008-09-03
5904
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
5905
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
5906
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
5907

5913
:Released: 2008-08-29
5915
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
5916
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
5917
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
5918
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
5919
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
5920
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
5921
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
5922
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
5923
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
5924
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
5925
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
5926
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
5931
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
5932
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
5933
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
5934
start of the string (causing more copies).
5935
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
5936
especially for projects with large files.
5937
(John Arbash Meinel)
5939
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
5940
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
5941
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
5942
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
5943
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
5945
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
5946
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
5947
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
5948
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
5949
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

5958
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
5959
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
5960
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
5961
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
5962
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
5963
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
5964
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
5965
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
5966
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
5972
:Released: 2008-08-19
5977
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
5978
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
5979
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
5980
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
5981
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
5987
:Released: 2008-08-18
5992
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
5993
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
5994
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
6000
:Released: 2008-08-14
6005
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
6006
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
6012
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
6013
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
6014
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
6020
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
6021
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
6022
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
6024
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
6025
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
6026
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
6027
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
6028
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
6029
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
6030
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
6036
:Released: 2008-08-13
6038
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
6044
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
6045
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
6047
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
6048
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
6051
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
6052
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
6053
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
6054
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
6055
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
6057
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
6058
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6060
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
6061
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
6063
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
6064
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
6066
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
6067
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
6068
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
6069
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
6070
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
6071
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
6077
:Released: 2008-08-06
6079
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
6080
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
6081
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
6082
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
6083
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
6088
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
6089
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
6090
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
6095
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
6096
check. (Daniel Watkins)
6098
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
6099
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
6101
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
6102
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
6103
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6105
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
6108
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6109
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6110
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6111
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6112
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
6113
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
6114
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6116
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
6117
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
6118
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
6123
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
6124
physical repository boundaries.
6125
(Martin Pool, #252428)
6127
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
6128
(Martin Pool, #206258)
6130
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
6131
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
6134
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
6137
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
6138
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
6139
that Python is running from.
6140
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
6142
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
6143
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
6144
(Robert Collins, #150438)
6146
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
6147
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
6149
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
6150
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
6151
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
6153
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
6154
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
6156
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
6157
(James Westby, #248448)
6162
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
6163
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
6164
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
6167
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
6168
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
6171
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
6172
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
6173
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
6174
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
6175
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
6176
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
6179
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
6180
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6182
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
6183
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
6184
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
6185
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
6186
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
6187
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
6192
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
6193
putting together a real history without having to create a full
6194
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
6195
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
6196
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
6197
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6199
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
6200
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
6201
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
6203
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
6206
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
6207
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
6209
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
6216
:Released: 2008-07-17
6218
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
6219
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
6220
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
6221
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
6227
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
6228
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
6229
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
6231
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
6232
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
6233
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
6234
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
6235
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
6238
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
6240
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
6241
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
6242
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
6248
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
6249
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
6252
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
6253
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
6254
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
6255
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
6257
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
6258
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
6259
(Christophe Troestler)
6261
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
6262
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
6264
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
6265
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
6266
faster. The new request method name is
6267
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6272
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
6273
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
6274
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
6275
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
6276
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
6278
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
6279
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
6281
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
6282
requires a branch to be present.
6283
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
6285
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
6287
(Martin Pool, #205230)
6289
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
6290
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
6291
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
6292
(Martin Pool, #240161)
6294
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
6295
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
6297
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
6299
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
6301
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
6302
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
6303
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
6304
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
6305
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
6307
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
6308
(Martin Pool, #172870)
6310
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
6311
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
6313
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
6315
(Matt McClure, #209281)
6317
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
6318
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
6320
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
6321
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
6326
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
6329
* Updated developer documentation.
6335
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
6336
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
6338
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
6339
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
6340
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
6341
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
6346
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
6347
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
6348
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
6349
Repository docstring for more details.
6352
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
6353
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
6354
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
6356
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
6357
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
6360
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
6361
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
6362
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
6363
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
6368
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
6369
(Alexander Belchenko)
6371
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
6372
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
6373
containing a given location.
6376
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
6377
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
6378
storage. (Robert Collins)
6380
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
6383
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
6384
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
6391
:Released: 2008-06-10
6393
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
6394
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
6395
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
6401
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
6402
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
6403
reading from the repository.)
6404
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
6406
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6407
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6409
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
6410
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
6413
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
6414
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
6415
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
6417
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
6418
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
6419
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
6421
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
6422
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
6424
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
6425
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
6426
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
6427
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
6432
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
6434
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
6435
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
6436
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
6439
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
6440
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
6445
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6450
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6451
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6456
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6457
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6458
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6459
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6460
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6462
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
6463
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
6468
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
6469
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
6471
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
6472
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
6477
:Released: 2008-06-02
6479
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
6480
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
6481
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
6482
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
6483
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
6484
and future extensions.
6487
Notes When Upgrading
6488
********************
6490
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
6491
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
6492
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
6493
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6494
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6495
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6496
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
6497
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
6502
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
6503
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
6504
(John Arbash Meinel)
6509
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
6510
load. (James Westby)
6515
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
6516
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
6517
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
6518
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6520
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
6521
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
6522
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
6524
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
6525
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
6527
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
6528
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
6529
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
6531
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
6532
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
6533
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
6534
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
6535
step closer to not using full revision history.
6536
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
6541
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
6542
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
6544
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6545
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6547
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
6548
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
6550
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
6551
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
6552
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
6553
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
6555
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
6556
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
6557
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
6558
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
6560
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
6561
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
6562
in use by another process.
6565
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
6566
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
6567
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
6568
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
6570
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
6571
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
6573
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
6574
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
6575
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
6577
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
6578
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
6579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
6581
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
6583
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
6585
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
6586
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
6588
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
6589
under vim on Mac OS X.
6590
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6592
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
6593
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
6598
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
6599
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
6601
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6602
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6605
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
6606
and about use of Python reprs.
6607
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
6609
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
6614
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
6617
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6618
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6620
* New helper function for splitting test suites
6621
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
6626
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
6627
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
6628
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
6629
(John Arbash Meinel)
6634
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
6635
instead. (Martin Pool)
6637
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
6638
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
6639
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
6640
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
6642
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
6643
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
6644
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
6645
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
6646
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
6648
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
6649
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
6650
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
6651
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
6652
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
6653
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
6655
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
6656
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
6659
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
6660
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
6663
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
6664
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
6665
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
6666
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
6668
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
6669
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
6670
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6672
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
6673
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
6674
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
6675
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
6676
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
6679
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
6680
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
6681
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
6682
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
6685
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6686
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6687
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6688
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6689
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6691
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
6698
:Released: 2008-05-16
6700
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
6701
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
6702
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
6707
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
6708
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
6709
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6714
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6715
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6722
:Released: 2008-05-09
6727
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
6728
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
6729
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
6730
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
6735
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
6736
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
6738
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
6739
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
6741
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
6747
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
6748
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
6750
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
6751
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
6753
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
6754
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
6755
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
6757
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6758
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6759
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6761
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
6764
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
6765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
6767
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
6768
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
6770
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
6771
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
6773
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
6774
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
6776
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
6777
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
6778
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
6780
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
6781
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
6783
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6784
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
6786
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6787
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6788
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6789
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
6791
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
6792
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
6795
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
6796
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
6797
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
6799
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6800
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6801
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6802
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6803
every revision each side had in common.
6804
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6806
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
6807
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6809
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
6810
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
6811
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
6812
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
6817
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
6818
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
6819
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
6820
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
6822
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
6824
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
6826
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
6827
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
6832
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
6833
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
6834
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
6836
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
6837
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
6838
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
6839
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6841
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
6842
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6844
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
6845
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
6846
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
6847
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6849
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
6850
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
6851
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
6852
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6857
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
6858
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
6859
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
6861
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
6863
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
6864
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
6866
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6867
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6869
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
6870
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
6875
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
6876
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
6877
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
6879
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
6880
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
6881
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
6884
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
6885
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
6888
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
6895
:Released: 2008-04-28
6897
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
6898
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
6899
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
6900
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
6901
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
6902
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
6903
and faster performance.
6908
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6909
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6910
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6911
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
6917
:Released: 2008-04-21
6922
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6923
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6924
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6926
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
6927
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6929
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6930
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
6932
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6933
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6934
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6935
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

6937
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6943
:Released: 2008-04-11
6948
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
6950
* On GNU/Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
6951
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
6953
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
6954
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
6955
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
6957
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
6958
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
6959
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
6960
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
6961
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
6962
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
6965
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
6966
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
6967
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
6968
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
6973
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
6975
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
6976
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
6977
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
6979
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
6980
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
6981
See the User Reference for signature details.
6982
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
6984
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
6985
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
6990
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
6991
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
6992
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
6993
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6995
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
6996
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
6998
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
6999
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
7000
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
7003
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
7006
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
7007
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7008
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7010
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7013
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7014
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7016
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
7017
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
7019
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
7020
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
7021
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
7023
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
7024
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
7025
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
7026
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
7027
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
7029
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
7030
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
7032
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
7033
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7038
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
7039
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
7040
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
7041
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
7042
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
7043
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
7045
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
7046
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
7048
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
7049
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
7050
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
7052
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
7053
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
7055
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7056
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7057
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
7058
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7060
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
7061
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
7062
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
7063
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
7064
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
7066
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
7068
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
7069
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
7071
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
7073
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
7074
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
7076
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
7077
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
7082
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
7084
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
7086
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7088
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
7093
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
7094
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
7095
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
7097
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
7098
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
7099
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
7100
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
7102
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
7103
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
7104
release. (James Westby)
7106
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
7109
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7111
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7112
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7114
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7115
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7117
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7118
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7120
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7121
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7122
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7124
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7125
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7126
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7127
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7129
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
7130
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
7131
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
7132
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
7134
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
7135
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
7136
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
7137
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
7138
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
7139
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
7141
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
7142
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
7143
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
7145
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
7146
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7148
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
7149
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
7152
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
7153
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
7155
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
7156
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
7158
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
7159
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
7161
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7162
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
7163
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
7165
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
7166
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
7167
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
7168
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
7169
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
7170
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
7175
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
7176
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
7177
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
7178
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
7180
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
7181
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
7182
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
7183
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
7187
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
7188
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
7191
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
7192
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
7194
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
7196
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
7197
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
7198
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
7203
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7205
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
7208
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
7209
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
7210
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
7211
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
7212
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
7213
(Martin Pool, #109520)
7215
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
7216
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
7218
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
7219
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
7220
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
7221
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
7223
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
7224
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
7226
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
7227
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
7277
********************
7279
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
7280
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
7285
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
7286
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
7287
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
7288
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
7291
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
7292
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
7293
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
7294
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
7295
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
7296
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
7298
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
7299
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
7300
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
7301
(Alexander Belchenko)
7303
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7305
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
7306
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
7311
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
7312
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
7314
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
7315
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
7321
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
7323
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7325
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
7326
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
7327
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
7329
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
7330
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
7332
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
7333
to. (Daniel Watkins)
7335
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
7336
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
7337
(Alexander Belchenko)
7339
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
7340
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
7341
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
7342
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
7344
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
7347
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
7348
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
7349
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
7350
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
7351
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
7356
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
7357
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
7358
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
7359
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
7361
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
7362
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
7364
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
7365
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
7367
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
7368
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
7369
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
7371
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
7372
(#198793, John Ferlito)
7374
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
7377
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
7378
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
7380
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
7382
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
7384
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
7385
symlinks (James Henstridge)
7387
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
7388
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
7390
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
7391
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
7393
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
7394
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
7396
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
7397
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
7399
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
7400
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
7405
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
7406
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7411
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
7412
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
7413
(Alexander Belchenko)
7418
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
7420
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
7421
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
7427
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
7428
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
7429
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
7431
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
7432
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
7433
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
7434
(Alexander Belchenko)
7436
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
7437
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
7438
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
7439
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
7441
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
7442
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
7443
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
7446
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
7447
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
7448
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
7450
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
7451
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
7452
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
7454
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
7455
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
7456
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
7457
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
7477
********************
7479
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
7480
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
7481
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
7482
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
7483
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
7489
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7490
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7492
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7493
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7494
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7496
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7497
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7498
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7499
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7500
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7501
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7507
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7508
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7510
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7511
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7512
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7515
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7516
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7517
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7518
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7519
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7521
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7522
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7523
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
7524
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
7525
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
7526
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
7527
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
7528
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
7533
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
7534
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
7536
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
7537
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7539
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
7540
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7542
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
7543
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
7544
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
7546
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
7547
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
7548
(John Arbash Meinel)
7553
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
7554
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
7556
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
7557
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
7559
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
7560
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
7562
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
7563
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
7564
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
7566
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
7567
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
7568
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
7570
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
7571
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
7573
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
7574
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
7575
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
7576
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
7577
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
7579
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7581
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
7582
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
7585
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
7586
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
7588
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
7589
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
7591
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
7592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
7594
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
7595
more characters which should be considered valid.
7596
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
7598
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
7599
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
7601
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
7602
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
7607
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
7608
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
7610
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
7611
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
7617
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
7618
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
7624
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
7625
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
7626
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
7628
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
7629
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
7630
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
7632
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
7633
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
7634
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
7635
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
7637
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
7639
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
7640
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
7641
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
7642
server. (Robert Collins)
7644
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
7645
operate. (Robert Collins)
7647
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
7648
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
7649
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
7651
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
7652
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
7653
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
7654
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
7656
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
7657
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
7659
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
7660
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
7661
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
7663
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
7664
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
7666
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
7667
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
7669
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
7670
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
7671
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
7672
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

7680
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
7685
:Released: 2008-01-05
7690
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
7691
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
7692
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
7693
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7695
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
7696
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
7697
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
7698
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
7703
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
7706
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
7709
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
7710
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
7715
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
7718
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
7719
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
7720
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
7722
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
7724
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
7725
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
7726
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
7727
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
7728
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
7730
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
7731
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
7732
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
7734
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
7735
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
7737
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
7740
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
7742
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
7744
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
7747
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
7748
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
7753
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
7754
(Martin Pool, #180208)
7756
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
7757
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
7759
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
7762
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
7763
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
7765
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
7766
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
7768
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
7769
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7771
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
7772
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
7774
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
7775
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
7776
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
7778
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
7779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
7781
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
7782
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
7785
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
7787
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
7788
user:pass embedded in the urls.
7789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
7791
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
7792
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
7794
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
7797
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
7800
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
7801
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
7803
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
7806
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
7807
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
7810
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
7811
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
7812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
7817
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
7820
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
7821
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
7822
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
7823
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
7824
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
7825
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
7827
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
7832
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
7835
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
7836
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
7838
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
7840
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
7841
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
7842
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
7845
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
7846
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7848
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
7857
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
7858
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
7859
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
7861
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
7862
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
7865
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
7866
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
7868
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
7869
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7871
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
7872
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7874
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
7875
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
7876
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7878
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
7879
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
7881
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
7882
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7884
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
7885
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
7888
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
7889
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
7891
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
7892
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
7908
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
7910
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
7911
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.

* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
7924
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
7925
by mail to the mailing list.
7931
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
7933
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
7934
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
7935
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
7936
feedback but also incur more latency.
7937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
7939
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
7940
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
7945
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7947
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
7953
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
7954
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
7955
wraps its output in a StringIO.

:Released: 2007-12-07
7967
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
7969
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
7972
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
7975
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
7976
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
7977
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
7978
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7980
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
7983
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
7984
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
7986
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
7987
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
7988
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
7990
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
7991
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
7992
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
7993
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
7994
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
7995
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
7996
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
7997
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
7998
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
8003
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
8006
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.

Notes When Upgrading
8042
********************
8044
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8045
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8046
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8047
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8049
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8050
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8052
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8053
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8055
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8056
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8057
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8058
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8059
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8060
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8061
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8062
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8063
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8064
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8065
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8066
from any tree without problems.
8067
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
8072
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
8073
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
8074
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
8076
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
8077
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
8083
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
8084
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
8085
supported transports.
8088
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
8089
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
8090
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
8092
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
8093
(Robert Collins, #154173)
8095
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
8096
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
8097
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
8098
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
8100
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
8101
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
8106
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
8107
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
8108
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
8109
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8111
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8112
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
8113
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
8114
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
8116
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
8117
(Robert Collins, #88319)
8119
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
8120
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
8122
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
8123
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
8125
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
8126
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
8132
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
8135
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
8136
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
8139
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
8140
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
8141
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
8142
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
8144
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
8145
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
8146
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
8147
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
8155
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
8156
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
8158
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
8159
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
8161
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
8162
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
8164
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
8165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
8167
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
8168
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
8170
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
8171
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
8173
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
8174
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
8176
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
8179
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
8180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
8182
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
8183
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
8184
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
8186
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
8187
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
8189
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
8190
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
8192
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
8193
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
8195
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
8196
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
8198
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
8199
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
8200
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
8201
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
8203
(Martin Pool, #164637)
8205
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
8206
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
8207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
8209
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
8210
(Robert Collins, #161240)
8212
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
8214
(Martin Pool, #164443)
8216
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
8217
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
8219
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
8220
specify a port in urls.
8221
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
8223
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
8224
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
8226
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
8227
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
8229
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
8230
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
8232
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
8233
(Robert Collins, #153789)
8235
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
8236
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
8237
(Robert Collins, #165304).
8239
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
8241
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
8242
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
8244
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
8247
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
8248
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
8250
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
8251
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
8253
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
8254
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
8255
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
8257
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
8258
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
8260
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
8261
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
8262
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
8263
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
8265
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
8266
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
8268
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
8269
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
8270
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
8272
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
8273
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
8275
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
8276
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
8278
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
8279
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
8284
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
8285
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
8287
* The return value of
8288
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
8289
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
8290
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
8291
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
8293
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
8296
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
8297
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
8304
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
8305
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
8306
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
8309
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
8310
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
8312
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
8318
:Released: 2007-11-05
8323
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
8329
:Released: 2007-10-29
8334
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
8335
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
8337
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
8338
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
8339
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
8340
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
8341
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
8342
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
8343
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
8344
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
8345
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
8346
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
8347
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
8348
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
8354
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
8355
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
8356
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
8357
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
8358
commands. (Robert Collins)
8360
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
8361
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
8362
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
8365
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
8367
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
8368
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
8370
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
8371
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
8374
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
8375
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
8376
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
8381
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
8382
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
8384
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
8385
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
8387
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
8388
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
8389
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
8390
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
8392
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
8395
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
8396
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
8397
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
8398
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
8400
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
8401
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
8403
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
8404
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
8406
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
8407
the contents. (Robert Collins)
8409
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
8410
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
8415
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
8416
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
8418
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
8419
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
8421
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
8422
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
8424
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
8425
(Martin Pool, #63894)
8427
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
8428
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
8433
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
8435
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
8441
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
8442
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
8443
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
8445
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
8446
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
8448
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
8449
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
8451
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
8452
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
8453
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8454
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8456
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8457
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8458
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8459
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8460
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8462
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8463
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
8467
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8469
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
8470
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
8472
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
8473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
8475
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
8476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
8478
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
8479
contains a symbolic link.
8480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
8482
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
8483
(James Westby, #140615)
8485
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
8486
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
8487
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
8489
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
8490
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
8491
(Martin Pool, #144633)
8493
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8495
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8496
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8498
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8502
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8503
directory to detect leaking tests.
8504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8506
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8507
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8508
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8510
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8513
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8514
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8516
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8522
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8523
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
8525
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
8526
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
8527
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
8529
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
8530
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
8531
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
8533
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
8534
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
8536
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
8537
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
8539
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
8540
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
8543
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
8544
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
8546
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
8547
class that needs it.
8550
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
8551
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
8553
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
8554
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
8555
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
8557
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
8558
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
8559
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
8562
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
8563
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
8564
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
8565
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
8571
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
8572
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
8573
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
8575
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
8576
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
8577
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
8578
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
8580
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
8581
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
8584
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
8585
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
8586
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
8588
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
8589
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
8590
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
8592
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
8593
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
8595
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
8596
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
8597
to complete. (Robert Collins)
8599
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
8600
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
8602
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
8603
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
8604
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
8606
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
8607
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
8608
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
8610
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
8611
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
8612
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
8613
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
8615
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
8616
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
8617
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
8618
returned. (Robert Collins)
8620
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
8621
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
8623
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
8624
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
8625
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
8626
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
8629
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
8630
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
8635
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
8636
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
8638
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
8639
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
8640
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
8641
makes this behavior available to other users.
8644
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
8645
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
8651
:Released: 2007-09-26
8656
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8657
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8658
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8660
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8662
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
8663
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
8664
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
8665
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
8667
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
8668
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
8675
:Released: 2007-09-11
8677
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
8678
in bzrlib/remote.py.
8684
:Released: 2007-09-11
8689
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
8690
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
8691
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
8692
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
8695
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
8696
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
8697
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
8703
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
8704
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
8705
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
8708
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
8709
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
8710
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
8712
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
8713
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
8714
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
8716
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
8717
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
8719
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
8720
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
8721
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
8722
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
8723
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
8724
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
8725
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
8726
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
8727
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
8728
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
8730
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
8731
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
8733
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
8734
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
8735
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8740
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
8741
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
8743
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
8744
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
8745
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
8747
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
8748
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
8750
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
8751
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
8753
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
8756
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
8757
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
8759
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
8760
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
8762
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
8763
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8765
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
8766
(Blake Winton, #129299)
8768
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
8770
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
8773
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
8774
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
8775
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
8776
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
8778
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8780
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
8781
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
8784
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
8785
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
8787
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
8788
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
8791
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
8792
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
8794
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
8795
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
8797
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
8798
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
8799
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
8800
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
8801
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
8802
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
8803
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
8805
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
8806
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
8808
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
8809
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
8811
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
8812
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
8814
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
8815
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
8817
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
8819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
8821
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
8822
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
8824
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
8825
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
8826
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
8828
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8829
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8830
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8835
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
8836
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8838
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
8841
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
8844
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
8845
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8847
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
8849
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
8850
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
8852
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
8853
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
8855
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
8856
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
8857
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
8858
space). (Robert Collins)
8860
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
8861
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
8864
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
8865
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8867
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
8868
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
8870
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
8871
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
8872
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
8873
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
8875
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
8876
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
8877
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
8880
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
8883
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
8884
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
8885
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
8887
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
8888
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
8889
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
8890
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
8891
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
8896
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
8897
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
8899
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
8900
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
8901
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
8902
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
8903
affected. (Robert Collins)
8905
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
8906
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
8907
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
8910
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8911
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8916
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
8917
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
8919
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
8920
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8922
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8923
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8925
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
8928
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
8929
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8934
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
8935
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
8936
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
8937
its version information. (Robert Collins)
8939
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
8940
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8942
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
8943
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
8944
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
8945
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8947
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
8948
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
8949
present. (Robert Collins)
8951
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
8952
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
8953
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
8954
API. (Robert Collins)
8956
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
8957
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
8960
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
8961
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
8963
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
8964
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
8965
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
8966
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
8967
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
8968
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
8970
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
8971
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
8972
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
8974
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
8975
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
8976
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
8977
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
8980
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
8983
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
8984
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
8985
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
8986
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
8987
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
8988
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
8989
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
8991
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
8992
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
8993
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
8994
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
8996
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
8997
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
8998
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
8999
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9000
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9001
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9003
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9004
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9005
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9007
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9008
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9014
:Released: 2007-08-28
9019
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
9020
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
9021
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
9022
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
9023
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
9024
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
9025
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
9026
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
9032
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
9033
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
9034
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
9040
:Released: 2007-08-14
9045
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9046
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9047
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9048
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9049
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9051
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9052
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9054
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
9056
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9058
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
9059
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9062
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9063
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9066
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
9069
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9070
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9072
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9073
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9075
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9076
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9078
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
9079
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
9081
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
9082
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
9084
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
9090
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9091
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9093
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9094
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9096
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9097
the repository (Robert Collins)
9099
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9100
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9101
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9102
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9103
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9105
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9106
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9108
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9109
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9110
(John Arbash Meinel)
9112
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9113
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9114
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9116
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9117
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9118
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9119
(John Arbash Meinel)
9121
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9122
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9125
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9126
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9128
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9131
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
9133
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
9135
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
9136
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
9138
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
9139
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
9142
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
9143
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
9144
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
9145
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9147
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
9148
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
9149
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
9151
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
9152
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
9153
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
9155
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
9156
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
9158
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
9159
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
9160
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
9161
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
9162
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
9163
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
9166
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
9167
(Alexander Belchenko)
9169
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
9170
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
9172
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
9173
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
9175
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
9177
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
9178
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
9183
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
9184
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
9185
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
9186
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
9188
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
9190
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
9193
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
9194
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
9195
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
9196
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
9197
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
9198
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
9203
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
9204
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
9205
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
9206
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
9208
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
9209
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
9210
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
9211
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
9212
tests have been refactored too.
9215
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
9216
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
9217
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
9221
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
9222
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
9223
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9225
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
9226
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
9227
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
9228
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
9229
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
9230
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
9231
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
9233
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
9234
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
9235
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
9236
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
9237
(John Arbash Meinel)
9239
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
9240
functionality for testing.
9242
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
9244
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
9245
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9247
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
9249
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
9252
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
9253
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
9255
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
9256
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
9257
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
9259
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
9262
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
9263
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
9265
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
9266
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
9267
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
9268
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
9270
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
9271
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
9273
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
9274
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
9275
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
9277
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
9280
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
9281
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
9282
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
9283
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
9284
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
9285
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
9287
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
9288
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
9289
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
9290
many files. (Robert Collins)
9292
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
9293
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
9294
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
9295
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
9300
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
9301
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
9302
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
9304
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
9305
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
9307
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
9308
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
9309
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
9326
:Released: 2007-07-10
9331
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
9332
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
9334
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
9335
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
9336
(James Westby, #122656)
9338
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
9339
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
9341
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
9342
authentication header.
9343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
9345
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
9347
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
9348
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
9350
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
9352
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
9353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
9355
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
9356
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
9357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
9359
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
9360
individually and as part of revision ranges.
9361
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
9363
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
9364
(Martin Pool, #109169)
9366
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
9367
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
9369
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
9370
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
9372
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9374
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
9379
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
9380
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
9381
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
9382
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9383
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
9384
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
9386
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
9387
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
9388
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
9390
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
9393
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
9394
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
9396
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
9397
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
9399
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
9400
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
9402
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
9403
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
9404
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
9405
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
9406
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
9408
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
9409
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
9411
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
9412
can be slow it is useful feedback).
9413
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
9415
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
9416
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
9418
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
9420
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
9421
output. (Aaron Bentley)
9423
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
9424
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
9427
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
9430
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
9431
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
9433
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
9434
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
9436
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
9437
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
9439
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
9441
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
9442
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
9444
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
9450
* Testing cleanups -

``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9452
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;

9467
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
9470
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
9472
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
9473
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
9474
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
9476
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
9477
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
9479
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
9480
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9482
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
9484
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9485
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9486
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9487
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9488
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
9489
same location. (Robert Collins)
9494
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
9496
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
9498
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
9500
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
9503
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9506
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9507
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9508
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9510
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9512
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9513
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9514
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9516
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9517
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9519
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9520
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9521
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9523
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
9524
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
9525
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
9527
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
9528
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
9529
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
9531
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
9532
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
9535
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
9536
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
9538
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
9539
(Alexander Belchenko)
9544
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
9545
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
9546
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
9547
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9549
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
9550
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
9551
testing. (Robert Collins)
9553
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
9554
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
9556
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
9557
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
9558
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
9559
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
9560
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
9561
attribute during the test parameterisation in
9562
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
9564
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
9565
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
9566
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
9567
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
9569
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
9570
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
9572
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
9573
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
9598
********************
9600
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
9601
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
9602
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
9603
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
9604
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
9605
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
9606
and unlock() like so::
9608
work_tree.lock_read()
9610
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
9616
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
9617
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
9619
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
9620
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
9621
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
9623
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
9624
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
9625
too. (Robert Collins)
9630
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
9631
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
9634
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
9635
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
9637
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
9638
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
9640
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
9641
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
9642
understanding what changes have occurred
9643
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
9645
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
9646
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
9647
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9649
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
9650
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
9651
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
9652
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
9654
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
9660
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
9661
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
9662
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
9663
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
9664
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
9666
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
9667
based on split paths, not just string paths.
9668
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
9670
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
9671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
9673
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
9675
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
9677
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
9678
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
9680
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
9681
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
9683
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
9684
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
9686
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
9687
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
9689
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
9690
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
9692
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
9693
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
9694
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
9699
:Released: 2007-05-07
9704
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
9705
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
9706
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
9707
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
9708
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
9710
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
9711
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
9712
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
9714
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
9715
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
9720
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
9721
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
9722
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
9724
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
9725
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
9726
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
9727
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
9732
:Released: 2007-04-30
9737
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
9738
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
9739
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
9740
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
9742
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
9743
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
9744
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
9746
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
9747
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
9749
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
9750
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
9752
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
9753
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
9758
:Released: 2007-04-26
9760
Notes When Upgrading
9761
********************
9763
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
9764
it could be recovered again.
9765
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
9766
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9767
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
9769
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
9771
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
9772
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
9777
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
9778
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
9780
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
9781
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
9782
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
9783
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
9785
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
9786
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
9788
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
9789
tests with names that match that regular expression.
9790
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
9792
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
9793
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
9794
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
9796
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
9797
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
9798
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
9800
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
9801
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
9804
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
9807
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
9808
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
9809
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
9810
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
9812
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
9815
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
9816
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
9817
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
9820
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
9821
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
9823
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
9824
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
9826
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
9827
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
9828
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
9829
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
9832
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
9833
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
9835
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
9836
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9838
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
9839
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
9840
(Robert Collins, #107125).
9842
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
9843
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
9844
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
9846
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
9847
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
9848
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9850
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
9851
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
9852
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
9853
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
9855
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
9856
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
9857
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
9858
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
9860
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
9861
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
9862
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
9863
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
9864
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
9865
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
9866
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
9867
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
9874
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
9875
code paths. (Robert Collins)
9877
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
9878
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
9879
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
9880
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
9881
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9883
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
9884
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
9886
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
9887
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
9889
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
9890
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
9892
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
9893
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
9895
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
9896
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
9897
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
9900
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
9901
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
9902
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
9903
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
9904
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
9907
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
9908
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
9909
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
9911
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
9912
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
9915
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
9916
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
9917
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
9920
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
9921
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
9922
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
9923
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
9924
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
9926
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
9927
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
9928
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
9929
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9931
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
9932
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9934
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
9935
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
9936
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
9937
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
9938
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
9939
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
9941
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
9942
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
9944
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
9945
help. (Robert Collins)
9947
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
9948
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9950
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
9951
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
9952
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
9953
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
9954
(John Arbash Meinel)
9956
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
9957
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
9958
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
9959
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
9960
useful. (Robert Collins)
9962
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
9968
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
9969
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
9971
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
9972
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
9974
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
9975
properly and is no longer beneficial.
9976
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
9978
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
9981
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
9982
the file, and does it faster.
9983
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
9985
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
9986
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
9987
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
9989
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
9990
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
9991
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
9992
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
9994
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
9995
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
9996
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
9997
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
9999
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
10000
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
10002
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
10003
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
10004
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
10005
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
10008
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
10010
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
10011
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
10013
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
10014
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
10016
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
10017
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
10018
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
10019
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
10023
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
10024
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
10029
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
10030
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
10031
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10033
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10034
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
10036
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10037
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10038
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10039
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10040
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10041
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10042
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10043
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10045
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10046
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10047
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10049
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10050
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10051
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10052
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10053
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10055
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10057
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
10058
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
10059
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
10061
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
10062
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
10068
:Released: 2007-04-01
10073
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
10076
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
10077
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
10083
:Released: 2007-03-26
10088
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
10089
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
10095
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10096
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10097
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10098
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10099
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10100
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10101
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10102
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
10108
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
10109
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
10110
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
10112
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
10113
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
10116
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
10117
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
10118
(John Arbash Meinel)
10120
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
10121
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
10122
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
10123
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
10124
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
10129
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
10132
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
10133
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
10135
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
10136
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
10138
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
10139
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
10140
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
10142
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
10143
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
10145
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
10146
last-changed-revision for directories. The
10147
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
10148
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
10149
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
10151
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
10152
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
10153
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
10155
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
10164
********************
10166
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
10167
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
10168
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
10173
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
10174
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
10176
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
10177
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
10179
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
10181
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
10182
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
10184
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
10185
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
10190
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
10196
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
10197
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
10198
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
10199
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
10201
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
10202
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
10204
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
10205
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
10207
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
10210
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
10211
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
10217
:Released: 2007-03-07
10222
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
10223
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
10224
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
10225
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
10226
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
10227
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
10229
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
10230
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
10231
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
10232
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
10233
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
10234
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
10236
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10238
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
10239
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
10240
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
10241
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
10242
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
10243
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
10244
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
10245
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10250
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
10251
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
10253
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
10254
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10255
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
10256
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
10258
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
10259
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
10260
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
10261
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
10262
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
10264
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
10267
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
10270
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
10273
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
10274
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
10277
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
10280
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
10281
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
10283
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
10284
directory. (Martin Pool)
10286
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
10287
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
10288
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
10289
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
10291
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
10292
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
10293
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
10294
in docs/configuration.txt.
10296
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
10297
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
10300
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
10301
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
10302
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
10303
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
10304
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
10305
repositories. (Martin Pool)
10307
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
10308
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10310
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
10311
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
10313
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
10319
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
10320
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
10321
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
10322
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
10323
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
10324
(John Arbash Meinel)
10326
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
10327
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
10330
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
10331
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
10332
(John Arbash Meinel)
10334
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
10335
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
10336
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
10337
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
10338
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
10339
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
10341
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
10342
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
10343
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
10345
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
10346
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
10347
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
10348
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
10350
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10352
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
10353
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
10354
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
10355
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
10357
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
10358
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
10359
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
10360
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
10362
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
10363
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
10364
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
10366
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
10367
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
10368
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
10370
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
10371
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
10372
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
10373
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
10375
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
10376
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
10377
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
10379
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
10380
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
10381
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
10383
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
10384
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
10385
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
10386
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
10387
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
10388
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
10389
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
10390
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
10391
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
10392
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
10393
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
10398
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
10399
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
10400
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
10402
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
10405
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
10406
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
10407
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
10408
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
10410
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
10411
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
10414
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
10415
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
10417
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
10419
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
10420
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
10421
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
10423
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
10424
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
10426
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
10427

10444
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
10450
:Released: 2007-01-23
10455
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
10460
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
10461
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
10462
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
10464
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
10465
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
10466
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
10472
:Released: 2007-01-16
10477
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
10478
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
10479
server, then you can write over the http connection.
10480
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10482
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
10485
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
10486
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
10487
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
10489
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
10490
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
10492
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
10495
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10496
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10497
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10498
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10499
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10500
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10502
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10503
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10504
should enable you to do::
10506
[/home/user/project]
10507
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10508
push_location:policy = appendpath
10510
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10511
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10514
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
10515
for each file. For example::
10517
$ bzr status --short
10523
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
10524
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
10526
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
10528
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
10529
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
10531
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
10536
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
10537
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
10538
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
10539
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
10541
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
10542
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
10543
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
10545
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
10547
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
10548
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
10549
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
10550
(Alexander Belchenko)
10552
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
10555
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
10556
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
10558
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
10563
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
10564
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
10566
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
10567
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
10568
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
10569
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
10570
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
10572
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
10573
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
10575
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
10576
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
10578
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
10580
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
10582
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
10583
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
10584
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
10585
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
10586
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
10588
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
10589
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
10590
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
10591
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
10593
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
10594
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
10596
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
10597
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
10599
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
10623
tree from a branch.
10624
(Daniel Silverstone)
10626
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
10627
operations are substantially faster.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
10630
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
10631
tree from some other url. For example:
10632
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
10633
(Daniel Silverstone)
10635
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
10636
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
10637
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
10638
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
10640
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
10643
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
10644
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
10645
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
10646
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
10647
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
10648
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
10653
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
10654
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
10657
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
10658
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
10659
(John Arbash Meinel)
10661
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
10662
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
10663
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
10664
(John Arbash Meinel)
10666
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
10667
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
10669
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
10670
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10672
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
10673
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
10679
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
10680
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
10681
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
10683
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
10684
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
10685
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
10686
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
10688
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
10690
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
10691
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
10693
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
10694
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
10695
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
10696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
10698
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
10699
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
10700
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
10702
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
10703
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
10704
them as full references rather than integers.
10705
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
10707
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
10708
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
10710
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
10712
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
10713
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
10715
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
10716
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
10718
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
10719
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
10720
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
10721
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
10723
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
10724
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
10725
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
10727
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
10728
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
10730
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
10731
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
10732
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
10733
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
10734
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
10739
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
10740
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
10745

10751
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
10752
(John Arbash Meinel)
10757
:Released: 2006-10-23
10762
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
10763
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
10764
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
10765
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
10767
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
10768
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
10770
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
10772
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
10773
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
10774
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
10775
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10777
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
10778
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
10779
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
10780
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
10781

10783
API Incompatability
10784
*******************
10786
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
10787
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
10792
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
10793
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
10794
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10796
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
10797
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
10798
(John Arbash Meinel)
10800
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
10801
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
10802
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
10804
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
10805
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
10808
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
10809
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
10810
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10812
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
10813
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
10814
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
10815
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
10816
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
10817
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10819
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
10820
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
10821
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
10824
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
10825
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
10830
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
10831
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
10832
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
10835
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
10836
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
10838
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
10839
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
10840
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
10842
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
10843
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
10845
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
10846
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
10847
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
10848
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
10850
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
10851
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
10853
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
10854
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
10855
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
10857
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
10858
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
10860
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10862
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
10863
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
10869
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
10870
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
10871
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
10872
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
10874
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
10875
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
10876
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
10895
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
10901
:Released: 2006-09-25
10906
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
10907
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
10908
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
10909
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
10910
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10911
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
10912
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
10914
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
10915
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
10916
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
10918
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
10920
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
10921
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
10923
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
10924
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
10925
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
10928
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
10929
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
10930
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
10931
(John Arbash Meinel)
10933
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
10934
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
10935
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
10936
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
10939
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
10940
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
10941
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
10942
(John Arbash Meinel)
10947
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
10948
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
10950
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
10952
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
10953
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
10954
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
10956
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
10957
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
10959
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
10960
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
10962
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
10963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
10965
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
10966
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
10968
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
10970
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
10971
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
10973
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
10974
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
10976
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
10977
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
10979
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
10980
(John Arbash Meinel)
10982
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
10983
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
10984
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
10986
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
10987
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10989
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
10990
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
10991
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
10992
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
10994
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
10995
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
10996
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
10998
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
10999
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
11004
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
11009
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
11010
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
11011
(John Arbash Meinel)
11013
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
11014
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
11015
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
11016
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11018
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
11021
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
11022
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
11023
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
11025
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
11026
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
11028
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11029
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11030
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11032
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11033
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11034
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11035
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11036
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11037
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11038
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11039
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11040
caller to repeat their request.
11041
(John Arbash Meinel)
11043
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11044
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11046
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11047
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11049
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11050
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11051
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11052
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11053
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11054
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11055
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11057
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11058
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11059
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11060
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11061
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11062
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11063
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11064
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11067
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11068
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
11069
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
11071
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
11072
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
11074
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
11075
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
11077
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
11078
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11083
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
11084
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
11086
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
11087
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
11088
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11090
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
11091
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
11092
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
11097
:Released: 2006-08-29
11101
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
11102
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
11104
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
11105
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
11106
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
11107
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11108
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11110
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11111
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11112
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11114
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11115
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11117
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11118
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
11119
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11124
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11126
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11127
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11128
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
11130
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
11132
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
11134
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
11135
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
11136
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
11137
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
11139
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
11140
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
11141
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
11142
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
11143
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
11145
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
11146
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
11148
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
11149
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
11151
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
11152
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
11154
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
11155
in handling of revision properties.
11156
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
11158
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
11159
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
11164
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
11165
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
11166
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
11167
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
11168
(John Arbash Meinel)
11170
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
11171
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
11172
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
11177
:Released: 2006-08-11
11182
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11183
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
11184
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
11185
specific one '.bzrignore'.
11186
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
11187
a more conservative list than the old default.
11188
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
11189
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
11190
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
11191
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
11193
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
11194
to more locations than just branch locations.
11200
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
11201
revno:N:branch. For example,
11202
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
11203
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
11205
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
11206
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
11207
the path of a file that has been versioned.
11208
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
11209
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
11210
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11211
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
11212
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
11215
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
11216
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
11217
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
11220
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
11221
(Alexander Belchenko)
11223
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
11225
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
11228
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
11229
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
11230
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
11231
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
11232
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
11233
(John Arbash Meinel)
11235
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
11236
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
11237
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
11238
grained analysis of performance.
11239
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11241
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
11242
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
11244
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
11245
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
11246
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
11247
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
11248
file. (Robert Collins).
11250
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
11251
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
11252
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
11254
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
11255
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
11258
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
11259
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
11261
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
11262
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
11263
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
11264
the same way you would apply another branch.
11265
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
11267
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
11268
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
11270
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
11273
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
11276
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
11277
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
11278
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
11280
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
11281
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
11282
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
11284
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
11285
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
11287
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
11288
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
11289
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
11290
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
11291
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
11293
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
11294
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
11296
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
11297
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
11298
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
11299
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
11300
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
11301
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
11302
branch is as much as 4x faster.
11303
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
11305
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
11306
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
11307
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
11312
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
11314
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
11316
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
11317
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11319
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
11320
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
11322
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
11323
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
11325
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
11327
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
11328
(John Arbash Meinel)
11330
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
11331
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
11333
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
11334
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
11337
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
11338
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
11340
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
11341
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
11343
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
11344
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
11345
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
11346
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
11348
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
11349
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
11351
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
11353
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
11354
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
11356
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
11358
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
11360
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
11361
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
11363
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
11364
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
11366
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
11367
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
11368
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
11370
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
11371
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
11372
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
11374
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
11375
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
11377
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
11378
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
11380
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
11381
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
11383
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
11384
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
11386
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
11387
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
11389
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
11390
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
11391
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
11393
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
11395
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
11396
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
11401
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
11402
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
11403
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
11405
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
11406
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
11408
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
11409
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
11410
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11412
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
11413
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11415
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
11416
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
11419
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
11420
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
11421
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11423
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
11424
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
11425
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11427
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
11428
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
11429
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
11431
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
11432
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
11433
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
11435
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
11436
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
11437
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
11439
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
11440
instead. (Robert Collins)
11442
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
11447

11452
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

11462
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
11463
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
11465
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
11466
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11468
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
11469
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
11470
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
11475
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
11477
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
11478
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
11480
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
11485
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
11486
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
11487
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
11488
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
11493
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
11494
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
11495
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
11500
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
11501
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
11502
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11507

Notes When Upgrading
11516
********************
11518
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11519
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11520
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11521
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11522
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11523
will keep the same format.
11525
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
11526
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
11527
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
11528
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
11529
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
11531
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
11532
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
11533
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
11534
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
11535
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
11536
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
11537
indicating the current revision of the branch.
11539
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
11540
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
11541
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
11542
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
11543
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
11545
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
11546
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
11547
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
11554
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
11555
convention. Paths now take the form::
1479
11557
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1481
11559
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1483
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1484
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1486
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1487
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1488
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1490
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1491
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1492
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1493
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1495
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1496
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1499
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1501
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1503
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1504
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1507
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1508
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1511
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1513
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1514
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1515
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1518
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1520
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1522
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1525
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1526
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1528
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1529
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1532
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1533
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1536
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1538
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1540
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1541
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1543
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1544
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1545
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1546
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1547
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1548
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1550
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1552
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1553
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1556
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1557
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1559
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1560
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1562
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1564
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1565
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1566
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1567
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1568
specification by Martin Pool.
1569
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1571
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1574
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1575
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1577
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1578
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1579
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1581
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1583
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1584
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1589
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1590
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1592
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1594
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1596
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1599
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1600
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1601
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1602
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1606
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1607
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1608
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1609
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1611
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1612
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1613
tried. (Martin Pool)
1615
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1618
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1620
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1621
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1622
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1624
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1625
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1627
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1628
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1629
paths. (Robert Collins)
1631
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1632
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1633
needs. (Robert Collins)
1635
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1636
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1637
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1639
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1640
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1642
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1645
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1648
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1650
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1652
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1653
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1654
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1657
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1658
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1660
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1661
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1662
check. (Robert Collins)
1664
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1665
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1669
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1670
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1672
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1673
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1674
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1675
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1677
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1678
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1679
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1680
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1681
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1683
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1684
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1685
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1687
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1689
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1690
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1696
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1697
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1699
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1700
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1701
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1704
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1705
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1707
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1708
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1709
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1710
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1711
(John Arbash Meinel)
1713
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1714
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1715
used. (Robert Collins)
1717
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1718
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1721
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1722
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1723
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1725
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1728
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1729
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1733
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1734
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1736
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1738
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1740
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1741
tree. (Robert Collins)
1743
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1744
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1745
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1748
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1751
* Tweaks to short log printing
1753
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1756
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1757
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1759
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1760
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1762
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1763
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1765
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1766
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1767
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1769
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1770
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1772
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1773
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1776
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1777
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1779
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1780
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1782
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1783
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1785
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1788
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1789
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1791
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1792
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1794
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1795
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1796
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1800
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1802
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1804
* Error when run with -OO
1806
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1809
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1811
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1813
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1814
ignored by diff and status
1816
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1817
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1819
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1821
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1823
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1824
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1826
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1827
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1829
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1832
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1833
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1835
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1837
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1838
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1840
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1843
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1846
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1850
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1851
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1853
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1855
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1857
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1859
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1860
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1861
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1863
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1865
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1866
(John Arbash Meinel)
1868
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1870
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1871
If adding a new test script please add that to
1872
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1874
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1875
imported. (Martin Pool)
1877
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1878
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1879
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1880
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1881
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1884
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1885
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1886
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1888
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1889
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1890
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1892
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1893
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1894
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1895
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1896
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1899
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1900
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1905
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1906
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1908
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1909
function. (Robert Collins)
1911
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1912
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1913
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1915
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1916
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1918
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1919
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1920
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1921
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1922
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1923
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1924
version. (Robert Collins)
1926
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1927
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1929
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1930
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1931
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1932
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1933
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1934
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1936
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1939
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
11561
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
11562
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
11564
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
11565
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
11566
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
11568
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
11569
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
11570
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
11571
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
11573
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
11574
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
11575
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
11577
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
11579
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
11581
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
11582
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
11585
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
11586
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
11587
| xargs bzr re-sign
11589
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
11591
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
11592
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
11593
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
11596
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
11598
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
11600
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
11603
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
11604
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
11606
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
11607
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
11608
Daniel Silverstone)
11610
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
11611
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
11614
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
11616
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
11618
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
11619
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
11621
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
11622
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
11623
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
11624
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
11625
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
11626
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
11628
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
11630
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
11631
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
11634
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
11635
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
11637
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
11638
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
11640
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
11642
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
11643
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
11644
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
11645
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
11646
specification by Martin Pool.
11647
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
11649
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
11652
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
11653
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11655
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
11656
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
11657
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
11659
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
11661
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
11662
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
11668
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
11669
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11671
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
11673
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
11675
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
11678
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
11679
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
11680
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
11681
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
11686
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
11687
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
11688
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
11689
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11691
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
11692
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
11693
tried. (Martin Pool)
11695
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
11698
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
11700
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
11701
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
11702
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
11704
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
11705
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
11707
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
11708
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
11709
paths. (Robert Collins)
11711
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
11712
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
11713
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
11715
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
11716
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
11717
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
11719
* Progress bars are now nested - see
11720
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
11721
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11723
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
11726
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
11729
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
11731
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
11733
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
11734
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
11735
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
11738
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
11739
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
11741
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
11742
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
11743
check. (Robert Collins)
11745
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
11746
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
11751
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
11752
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)

* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
11771
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
11772
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
11777
:Released: 2006-01-09
11782
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
11783
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
11785
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
11786
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
11787
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
11790
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
11791
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
11793
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
11794
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
11795
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
11796
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
11797
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
11799
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
11800
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
11801
used. (Robert Collins)
11803
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
11804
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
11807
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
11808
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
11809
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
11811
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
11814
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
11815
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
11820
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
11821
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
11823
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
11825
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
11827
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11828
tree. (Robert Collins)
11830
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
11831
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
11832
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
11835
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
11838
* Tweaks to short log printing
11840
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
11843
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
11844
occurs. (Martin Pool)
11846
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
11847
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
11849
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
11850
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
11852
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
11853
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
11854
settings. (Magnus Therning)
11856
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
11857
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
11859
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
11860
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
11863
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
11864
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
11866
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
11867
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
11869
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
11870
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
11872
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
11875
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
11876
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
11878
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
11879
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
11881
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
11882
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
11883
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
11888
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
11890
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11892
* Error when run with -OO
11894
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
11897
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
11899
* Change status to 3 for all errors
11901
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
11902
ignored by diff and status
11904
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
11905
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
11907
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
11909
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
11911
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
11912
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
11914
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
11915
email address. (Marien Zwart)
11917
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
11920
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
11921
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11923
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
11925
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
11926
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
11928
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
11931
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
11932
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
11934
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
11939
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
11940
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
11942
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11944
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11946
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
11948
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
11949
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
11950
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11952
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11954
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
11955
(John Arbash Meinel)
11957
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
11959
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
11960
If adding a new test script please add that to
11961
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
11963
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
11964
imported. (Martin Pool)
11966
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
11967
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
11968
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
11969
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
11970
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
11973
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
11974
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
11975
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
11977
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
11978
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
11979
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11981
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
11982
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
11983
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
11984
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
11985
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
11988
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
11989
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
11995
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
11996
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
11998
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
11999
function. (Robert Collins)
12001
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12002
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12003
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12005
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12006
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12009
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12010
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12011
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12012
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12013
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12014
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12015
version. (Robert Collins)
12017
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12018
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
12020
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12021
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12022
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12023
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12024
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12025
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
12027
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
12030
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
1947
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1949
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1951
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1954
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1955
query method. (Robert Collins)
1957
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1960
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1963
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1967
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1968
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1969
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1970
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1972
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1973
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1974
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1975
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1977
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1978
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1984
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1987
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1991
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1992
a separator, not ':'.
1995
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1996
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1997
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1999
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2000
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2003
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2004
has been added that suppresses all output.
2006
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2009
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2010
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2012
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2013
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2015
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2016
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2018
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
2019
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
2020
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2021
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2023
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2025
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2026
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2028
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2029
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2031
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2032
output directory, if one was supplied.
2034
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
2035
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2036
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
2037
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2039
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2041
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2042
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2044
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2045
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2046
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2048
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2049
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2051
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2054
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2056
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2060
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2061
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2062
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2064
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2065
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2066
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2068
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2069
is given. (Martin Pool)
2071
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2072
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2073
file. (Robert Collins)
2075
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2080
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2081
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2082
representation. (Martin Pool).
2084
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2085
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2086
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2088
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2091
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2092
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2095
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2096
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2097
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2098
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2099
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2101
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2102
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2103
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
2104
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2105
python path. (Robert Collins)
2107
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2108
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2109
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2110
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2112
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2113
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2115
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2116
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
2119
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
2120
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2121
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2123
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2124
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2125
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2127
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2128
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2130
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
2131
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2132
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2135
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
2136
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2137
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2138
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2141
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
2144
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2145
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2148
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2149
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
2150
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2152
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2153
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2154
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2156
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2157
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2158
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2160
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2161
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2163
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2164
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2165
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2166
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2167
caller. (Robert Collins)
2169
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2170
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2173
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2174
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2176
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2178
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2179
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2183
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2184
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2186
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2187
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2190
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2194
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2195
allow directories to be listed.
2197
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2198
upgrading branch format.
2202
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2209
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2210
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2211
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2212
high-latency connections.
2216
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2219
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2220
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2222
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2223
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2224
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2225
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2227
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2228
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2230
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2231
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2233
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2234
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2235
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2237
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2238
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2239
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2242
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2243
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2245
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2246
different partial views of history.
2248
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2249
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2253
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2254
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2255
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2257
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2258
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2261
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2262
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2264
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2267
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2268
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2270
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2271
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2272
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2273
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2275
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2277
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2278
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2281
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2282
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2284
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2285
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2286
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2291
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2292
for your viewing pleasure.
2294
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2295
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2297
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2298
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2299
handling of such circumstances.
2301
* Remove RevisionReference class; Revision.parent_ids is now simply a
2302
list of their ids and parent_sha1s is a list of their corresponding
2303
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2305
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2307
* Renamed Branch.last_patch() to Branch.last_revision(), since
2308
we call them revisions not patches.
2310
* Move copy_branch to bzrlib.clone.copy_branch. The destination
2311
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2313
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2314
giving the revision *of that file*.
2316
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2317
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2318
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2322
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2323
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2325
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2326
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2329
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2333
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2335
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2338
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2340
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2342
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2343
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2347
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2348
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2350
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2351
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2352
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2353
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2356
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2357
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2361
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2363
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2364
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2367
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2371
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2372
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2373
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2374
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2377
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2380
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2381
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2382
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2383
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2384
for the operating system is still tried.
2386
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2387
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2388
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2393
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2397
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2399
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2402
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2408
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2410
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2413
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2417
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2418
help with intelligent shell completion.
2420
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2425
* Much better merge support.
2427
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2428
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2434
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2435
mention revisions that are not present.
2437
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2439
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2441
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2442
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2447
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2449
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2450
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2456
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2457
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2462
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2466
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2467
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2469
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2471
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2472
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2474
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2477
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2479
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2482
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2483
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2485
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2486
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2487
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2492
* Faster working tree operations.
2497
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2498
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2499
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2500
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2502
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2503
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2504
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2505
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2506
standard plugins directory.
2508
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2509
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2510
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2511
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2513
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2514
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2516
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2519
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2520
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2521
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2523
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2524
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2526
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2527
line options must come before the command name because they
2528
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2529
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2532
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2534
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2535
is available with ``--short``.
2540
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2543
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2547
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2548
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2550
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2551
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2552
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2553
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2555
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2556
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2557
with the ``--forward`` option.
2559
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2560
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2566
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2567
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2569
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2571
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2572
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2574
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2576
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2577
either read or write mode.
2579
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2581
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2584
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2586
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2587
suggested by LarstiQ.
2589
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2590
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2592
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2595
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2596
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2598
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2599
haven't changed since the previous time.
2601
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2602
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2604
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2606
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2608
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2609
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2611
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2612
options through to an external GNU diff.
2614
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2617
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2623
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2624
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2626
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2632
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2633
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2636
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2637
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2639
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2640
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2642
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2643
under a different version.
2645
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2650
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2652
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2653
Scott James Remnant.
2655
* Better help messages for many commands.
2657
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2658
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2660
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2661
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2663
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2665
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2667
* New AtomicFile class.
2669
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2674
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2675
2.4 is now only recommended.
2678
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2682
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2683
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2685
* More default ignore patterns.
2687
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2688
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2690
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2692
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2695
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2700
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2701
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2702
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2703
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2704
there are DNS problems.
2706
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2711
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2713
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2715
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2716
trailing newlines properly.
2721
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2724
* More tests in test.sh.
2726
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2727
directory and delete it when done.
2729
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2734
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2737
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2741
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2745
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
2748
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
2750
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2753
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2756
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2758
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2762
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2763
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2768
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2769
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2774
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2778
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
12040
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
12042
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
12044
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
12047
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
12048
query method. (Robert Collins)
12050
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
12053
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
12056
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
12059
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12060
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12061
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12062
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12064
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12065
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12066
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12067
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12069
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12070
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
12075
:Released: 2005-10-28
12080
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12083
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12087
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12088
a separator, not ':'.
12091
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12092
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12093
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12095
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12096
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12099
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12100
has been added that suppresses all output.
12102
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12105
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12106
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12108
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12109
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12111
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12112
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12114
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12115
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12116
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12117
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12119
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12121
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12122
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12124
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12125
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12127
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12128
output directory, if one was supplied.
12130
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12131
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
12132
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
12133
parameters. (Robert Collins)
12135
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
12137
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
12138
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
12140
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
12141
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
12142
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
12144
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
12145
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
12147
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
12150
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
12152
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
12157
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
12158
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
12159
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
12161
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
12162
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
12163
related questions. (Robert Collins)
12165
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
12166
is given. (Martin Pool)
12168
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
12169
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
12170
file. (Robert Collins)
12172
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
12178
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
12179
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
12180
representation. (Martin Pool).
12182
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
12183
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
12184
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
12186
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12189
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
12190
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
12193
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12194
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
12195
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
12196
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
12197
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
12199
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
12200
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
12201
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
12202
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
12203
python path. (Robert Collins)
12205
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
12206
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
12207
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
12208
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
12210
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
12211
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
12213
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
12214
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
12217
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
12218
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
12219
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
12221
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
12222
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
12223
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
12225
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12226
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12228
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
12229
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
12230
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
12233
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
12234
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
12235
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
12236
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
12239
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
12242
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
12243
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
12246
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
12247
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
12248
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
12250
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
12251
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
12252
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
12254
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
12255
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
12256
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
12258
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12259
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12261
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
12262
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
12263
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
12264
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
12265
caller. (Robert Collins)
12267
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
12268
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
12271
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
12272
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
12275
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
12277
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
12278
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
12283
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
12284
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
12286
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
12287
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
12293
:Released: 2005-10-12
12298
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
12299
allow directories to be listed.
12301
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
12302
upgrading branch format.
12307
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
12313
:Released: 2005-10-11
12318
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
12319
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
12320
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
12321
high-latency connections.
12326
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
12329
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
12330
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
12332
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
12333
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
12334
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
12335
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12337
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
12338
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
12340
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
12341
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
12343
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
12344
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
12345
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12347
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
12348
for files with only a change to their executable status.
12349
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
12352
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
12353
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
12355
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
12356
different partial views of history.
12358
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
12359
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
12364
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
12365
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
12366
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12368
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
12369
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
12372
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
12373
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
12375
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
12378
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
12379
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
12381
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
12382
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
12383
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
12384
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12386
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
12388
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
12389
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
12392
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
12393
Contributed by Robert Collins.
12395
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
12396
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
12397
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
12403
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
12404
for your viewing pleasure.
12406
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
12407
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
12409
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
12410
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
12411
handling of such circumstances.
12413
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
12414
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
12415
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12417
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12419
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12420
we call them revisions not patches.
12422
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12423
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12425
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12426
giving the revision *of that file*.
12428
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
12429
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
12430
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
12435
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
12436
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
12438
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
12439
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
12445
:Released: 2005-09-23
12450
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
12452
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
12455
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
12457
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
12459
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
12460
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12465
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
12466
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
12468
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
12469
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
12470
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
12471
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
12474
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
12475
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12480
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
12482
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
12483
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
12489
:Released: 2005-09-20
12495
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
12496
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
12497
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12498
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
12501
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
12504
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12505
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12506
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12507
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12508
for the operating system is still tried.
12510
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12511
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12512
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
12518
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
12523
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
12525
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
12528
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
12535
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
12537
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
12543
:Released: 2005-09-02
12548
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
12549
help with intelligent shell completion.
12551
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
12557
* Much better merge support.
12559
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
12560
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
12567
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
12568
mention revisions that are not present.
12570
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
12572
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
12574
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
12575
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
12581
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
12583
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
12584
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
12591
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
12592
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
12600
:Released: 2005-08-18
12605
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
12606
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
12608
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
12610
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
12611
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
12613
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
12616
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
12618
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
12621
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
12622
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
12624
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
12625
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
12626
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
12632
* Faster working tree operations.
12638
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
12639
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
12640
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
12641
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
12643
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
12644
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
12645
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
12646
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
12647
standard plugins directory.
12649
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
12650
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
12651
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
12652
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
12654
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
12655
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
12657
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
12660
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
12661
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
12662
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
12664
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
12665
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
12667
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
12668
line options must come before the command name because they
12669
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
12670
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
12673
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
12675
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
12676
is available with ``--short``.
12682
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
12688
:Released: 2005-06-15
12693
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
12694
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12696
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
12697
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
12698
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
12699
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
12701
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
12702
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
12703
with the ``--forward`` option.
12705
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
12706
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
12713
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
12714
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
12716
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
12718
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
12719
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12721
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
12723
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
12724
either read or write mode.
12726
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
12728
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
12729
affected that file.
12731
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
12733
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
12734
suggested by LarstiQ.
12736
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
12737
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
12739
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
12742
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
12743
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
12745
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
12746
haven't changed since the previous time.
12748
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
12749
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
12751
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
12753
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
12755
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
12756
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
12758
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
12759
options through to an external GNU diff.
12761
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
12764
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
12771
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
12772
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
12774
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
12781
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
12782
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
12785
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
12786
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
12788
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
12789
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
12791
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
12792
under a different version.
12794
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
12800
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
12802
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
12803
Scott James Remnant.
12805
* Better help messages for many commands.
12807
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
12808
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
12810
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
12811
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
12813
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
12815
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
12817
* New AtomicFile class.
12819
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
12825
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
12826
2.4 is now only recommended.
12832
:Released: 2005-04-22
12837
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
12838
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
12840
* More default ignore patterns.
12842
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
12843
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
12845
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
12847
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
12850
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
12856
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
12857
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
12858
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
12859
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
12860
there are DNS problems.
12862
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
12868
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
12870
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
12872
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
12873
trailing newlines properly.
12879
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
12882
* More tests in test.sh.
12884
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
12885
directory and delete it when done.
12887
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
12893
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
12896
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

12908
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
12911
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".

* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
12916
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
12919
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
12921
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
12926
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
12927
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
12933
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
12934
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
12940
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
12945
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
2785
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
2792
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
2794
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
2795
rather than replacing it.
2797
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
2801
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
2804
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
2805
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.

2812
the root directory only.
