bzr-0.0.5 NOT RELEASED YET
5
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
13
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
15
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
16
either read or write mode.
18
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
20
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
23
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
25
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
28
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz Oler.
30
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
33
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
34
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
39
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
40
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
43
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
44
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
46
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
47
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
52
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
54
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
57
* Better help messages for many commands.
59
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
60
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
62
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
63
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
65
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
67
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
69
* New AtomicFile class.
74
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
75
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
77
* More default ignore patterns.
79
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
80
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
82
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
84
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
87
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
92
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
93
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
94
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
95
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
96
there are DNS problems.
98
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
103
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
105
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
107
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
108
trailing newlines properly.
113
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
116
* More tests in test.sh.
118
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
119
directory and delete it when done.
121
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
126
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
129
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
137
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
140
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
142
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
145
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
148
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
150
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
154
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
155
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
160
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
161
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
166
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
170
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

.. contents:: List of Releases
12
:2.3b1: NOT RELEASED YET
17
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
18
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
19
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
20
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
21
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
23
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
24
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
25
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
26
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
28
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
29
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
31
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
35
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
36
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
39
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
40
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
41
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
44
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
45
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
47
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
49
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
50
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
51
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
52
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
53
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
55
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
56
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
59
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
60
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
67
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
68
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
69
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
71
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
72
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
74
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
75
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
76
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
77
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
78
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
80
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
81
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
82
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
83
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
85
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
86
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
91
* Allow using both --using and --diff-options.
92
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
94
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
95
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
97
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
98
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
100
(Martin Pool, #192859)
102
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
103
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
105
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
107
* ``clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
108
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
109
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
111
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
112
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
114
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
115
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
117
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
118
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
120
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
121
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
122
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
123
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
124
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
126
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
127
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
129
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
130
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
132
* Errors occurring during http(s) test server starts should now be
133
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
135
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
136
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
137
(Martin Pool, #192859)
139
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
140
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
142
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
143
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
145
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
146
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
149
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
150
(Martin Pool, #98735)
152
* ``PQM`` will no longer ignore syntax errors in submissions.
153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
155
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
156
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
157
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
158
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
160
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
161
users to attach to their own processes by default.
162
(Martin Pool, #626679)
164
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
165
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
166
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
168
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
169
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
172
* Wait for the SSH server to actually finish, rather than just waiting for
173
it to negotiate the key exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
178
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
179
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
180
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
181
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).
182
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
184
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
185
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
188
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
189
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
190
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
191
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
192
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
195
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
196
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
197
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
199
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
200
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
201
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
203
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
204
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
205
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
206
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
207
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
208
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
210
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
211
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
212
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
217
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
218
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
219
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
221
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
222
to make the tests conditional.
225
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
226
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
227
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
232
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
233
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
234
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
235
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
238
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
239
relative change in revno.
242
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
243
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
244
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
246
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
247
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
248
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
249
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
250
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
251
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
252
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
253
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
255
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
256
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
258
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
259
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
265
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
271
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
272
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
274
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
275
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
278
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
279
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
280
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
281
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
282
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
283
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
284
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
291
:2.2.1: NOT RELEASED YET
296
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
297
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
298
marked versioned too.
299
(Martin Pool, #192859)
301
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
302
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
304
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
305
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
307
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
308
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
309
(Martin Pool, #192859)
314
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
315
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
316
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
321
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
331
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
332
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
333
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
334
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
335
supported for another 6 months.)
337
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
338
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
340
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
341
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
342
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
343
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
344
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
345
readonly operations).
347
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
352
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
353
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
354
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
355
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
356
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
358
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
359
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
360
macrobenchmark suite.
366
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
367
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
369
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
371
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
372
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
375
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
376
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
378
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
379
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
381
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
382
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
383
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
384
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
386
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
387
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
392
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
393
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
395
* Add py2exe windows target ``bzrw.exe``. This allow for starting a Bazaar
396
GUI with out have a console open in the background.
397
(Gary van der Merwe, #433781)
402
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
403
points to Python regular expression documentation.
404
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
409
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
414
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
415
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
416
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
421
:Codename: Monkey Magic
425
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
426
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
427
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
428
stable and compatible plugin versions.
430
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
431
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
434
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
435
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
441
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
442
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
443
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
444
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
445
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
446
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
448
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
449
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
450
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
451
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
454
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
455
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
456
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
463
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
464
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
465
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
470
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
471
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
472
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
474
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
475
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
476
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
478
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
479
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
481
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
482
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
483
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
485
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
486
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
487
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
489
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
490
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
492
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
493
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
495
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
496
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
498
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
499
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
501
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
502
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
503
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
505
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
506
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
507
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
509
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
510
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
511
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
512
(Robert Collins, #177500)
514
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
515
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
516
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
518
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
520
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
521
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
523
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
524
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
526
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
527
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
530
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
531
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
532
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
533
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
534
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
536
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
537
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
538
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
539
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
541
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
542
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
544
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
545
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
546
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
547
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
552
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
553
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
554
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
556
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
557
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
558
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
559
(Robert Collins, #201613)
561
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
562
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
563
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
564
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
565
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
567
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
568
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
569
(Martin Pool, #340394)
571
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
572
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
573
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
574
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
580
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
582
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
583
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
584
development). (Robert Collins)
586
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
587
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
592
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
593
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
594
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
595
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
597
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
598
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
599
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
602
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
603
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
604
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
606
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
607
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
608
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
611
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
612
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
613
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
615
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
616
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
617
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
618
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
619
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
621
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
622
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
623
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
628
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
629
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
630
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
631
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
634
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
636
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
637
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
638
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
640
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
641
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
647
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
648
to test. (Martin Pool)
650
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.
651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #595587)
658
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
659
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
660
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
661
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
662
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
663
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
664
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
665
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
671
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
672
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
673
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
674
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
675
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
676
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
679
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
680
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
681
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
683
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
684
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
685
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
687
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
688
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
689
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
694
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
696
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
698
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
699
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
700
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
701
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
703
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
704
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
706
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
708
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
709
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
710
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
712
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
713
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
714
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
715
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
716
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
718
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
719
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
720
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
721
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
723
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
724
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
725
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
732
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
733
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
734
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
736
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
737
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
739
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
741
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
742
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
743
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
745
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
746
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
748
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
749
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
751
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
753
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
754
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
755
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
756
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
757
(Robert Collins, #583667)
759
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
760
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
761
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
763
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
766
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
769
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
772
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
773
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
774
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
776
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
778
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
781
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
783
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
785
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
786
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
787
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
789
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
790
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
792
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
793
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
794
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
796
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
797
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
798
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
799
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
801
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
802
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
803
to support this efficiently.
804
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
806
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
808
(Martin Pool, #491763)
810
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
811
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
813
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
814
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
816
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
817
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
819
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
821
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
822
(Robert Collins, #558343)
824
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
825
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
826
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
827
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
832
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
833
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
834
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
835
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
836
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
837
(case-sensitive) as false.
838
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
840
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
841
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
842
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
844
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
845
be interpreted as a boolean.
848
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
849
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
850
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
851
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
852
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
857
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
858
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
861
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
862
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
863
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
864
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
865
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
869
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
870
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
871
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
872
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
873
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
874
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
876
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
877
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
878
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
879
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
880
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
881
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
882
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
887
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
888
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
889
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
890
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
892
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
895
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
896
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
897
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
898
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
900
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
902
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
903
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
904
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
905
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
907
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
908
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
909
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #566923)
914
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
915
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
918
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
919
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
921
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
922
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
925
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
926
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.
934
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
935
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
936
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
937
of these would be welcome.
943
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
944
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
949
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
950
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
951
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
952
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
955
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
956
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
957
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
958
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
960
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
961
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
963
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
964
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
965
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
967
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
968
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
970
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
973
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
976
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
977
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
978
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
980
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
981
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
982
which is not installed any more" error.
983
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
985
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
986
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
987
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
988
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
991
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
992
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
996
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
997
(Martin von Gagern, #387117)
1002
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
1003
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
1004
(Robert Collins, #530265)
1006
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
1007
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
1010
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
1013
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
1016
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
1017
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
1018
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
1019
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
1020
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1022
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
1023
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
1024
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
1026
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
1028
(Martin Pool, #553017)
1033
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
1034
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
1037
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
1038
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
1043
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
1044
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
1045
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
1046
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
1054
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1055
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1056
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1057
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1059
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1060
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1061
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1062
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1063
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1064
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1065
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1066
through the 2.2 series.
1068
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1069
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1070
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1072
Compatibility Breaks
1073
********************
1075
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1076
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1078
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
1079
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
1082
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1083
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1085
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1086
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1088
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
1089
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
1090
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
1091
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
1092
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
1095
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
1096
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
1097
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1102
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
1103
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
1105
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
1106
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
1107
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1109
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
1110
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
1111
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
1112
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
1113
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
1115
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
1116
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
1119
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
1120
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
1121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
1123
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
1124
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
1125
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
1126
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
1127
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
1128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
1130
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
1131
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
1134
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
1135
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
1136
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
1139
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
1140
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
1145
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
1146
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
1148
* Allow additional arguments to
1149
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1151
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1152
(Michal Junák, #511987)
1154
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1155
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1156
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1157
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1159
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1162
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1163
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1165
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1166
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
1168
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1171
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1172
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1173
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1175
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1176
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1177
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1178
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1179
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1181
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1182
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1183
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1185
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1186
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1188
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1189
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1192
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1193
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1194
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1196
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1197
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1199
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1201
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1202
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1204
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1205
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1206
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1208
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1209
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1212
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1215
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1216
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1219
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1220
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1221
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1222
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1224
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1226
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1227
deletion is involved.
1228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1230
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1231
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1232
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1234
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1235
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1236
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1238
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1239
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1241
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1242
the debugger won't kill the session.
1243
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1245
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1246
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1248
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1249
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1250
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1252
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
1253
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
1258
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
1259
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1262
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1263
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1265
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1266
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1268
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1269
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1270
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1271
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1273
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1274
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1275
to be done separately.
1276
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1278
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1279
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1282
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
1283
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1285
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
1286
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
1288
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
1291
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
1297
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
1298
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
1300
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1301
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
1302
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1304
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1305
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1306
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1307
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1310
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
1311
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
1313
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
1314
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1316
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
1317
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
1323
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
1324
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
1325
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
1327
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
1330
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
1331
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
1334
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
1335
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
1336
dependency regressions.
1339
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1340
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
1342
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1343
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
1345
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1346
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1347
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1348
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1349
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1350
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)

:Codename: Do run run
1356
:2.1.3: NOT RELEASED YET
1358
Compatibility Breaks
1359
********************
1367
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
1368
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
1369
marked versioned too.
1370
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1372
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
1373
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
1374
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
1376
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
1377
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
1379
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1380
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1381
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1383
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1384
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1385
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1386
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
1388
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
1389
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
1390
and the progress message. (Martin Pool)
1392
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1393
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1395
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
1396
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
1401
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
1402
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
1407
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
1408
points to Python regular expression documentation.
1409
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
1414
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
1422
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
1423
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
1424
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
1431
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
1432
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
1433
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
1438
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1439
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1440
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1442
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1443
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1445
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1446
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1447
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1449
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1451
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1452
versions before 1.6.
1453
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1455
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1456
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1457
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1458
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1461
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1462
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1464
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1465
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1467
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1468
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1469
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1470
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1475
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1476
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1477
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1478
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1480
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1488
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
1489
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
1494
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1495
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1496
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1497
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1499
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1500
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1502
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
1504
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1507
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1508
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1510
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1512
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1513
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1514
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1516
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1517
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1518
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1519
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1520
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1522
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1523
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1525
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1526
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
1527
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
1532
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1534
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
1536
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
1537
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
1542
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1543
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1544
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1545
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1551
:Codename: Strasbourg
1554
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
1555
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
1556
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
1558
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
1559
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
1560
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
1561
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
1562
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
1563
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
1565
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
1570
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
1571
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
1573
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
1574
(Martin Pool, #513432)
1576
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
1577
when it encounters conflicts.
1578
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
1580
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
1581
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
1583
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
1584
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
1585
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
1586
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
1587
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
1588
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1590
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
1591
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
1592
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
1597
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
1603
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
1604
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1607
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
1608
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
1611
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
1612
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1614
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
1615
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
1616
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
1617
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
1618
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
1619
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
1620
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
1621
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
1623
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
1625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
1630
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
1631
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
1632
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
1634
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
1639
* The ``remove_index`` method of
1640
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
1641
argument. This argument was always ignored.
1642

1647
:Codename: after the bubbles
1648
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
1650
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
1651
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
1656
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
1657
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
1658
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
1659
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
1660
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
1661
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

:Codename: the 'new' stable
1669
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
1671
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
1672
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
1673
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
1674
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
1675
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
1676
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
1677
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
1678
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
1679
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
1685
* Add bug information to log output when available.
1686
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
1688
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
1689
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
1692
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
1693
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
1694
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
1697
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
1698
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
1700
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
1701
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
1703
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
1704
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
1705
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
1707
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
1708
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
1709
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
1710
Martin Pool, #45719)
1712
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
1713
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
1714
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
1716
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
1717
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
1718
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
1719
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
1720
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
1721
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
1723
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
1724
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
1725
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
1726
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
1727
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
1732
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
1733
user-specified commit message editor.
1734
(Martin Pool, #504842)
1736
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
1737
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
1738
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
1740
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
1741
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
1742
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
1744
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
1745
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
1747
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1748
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1749
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1750
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1751
another process already removed the file.
1752
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1754
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
1755
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
1757
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
1758
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
1759
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
1761
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
1762
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
1764
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
1765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
1767
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
1768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
1770
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
1771
(Martin Pool, #320035)
1773
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
1774
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
1775
depended on this behaviour.
1776
(Martin Pool, #499757)
1778
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
1779
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
1780
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
1781
should appear up-to-date.)
1782
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
1787
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
1788
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
1789
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
1790
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
1792
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
1793
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
1795
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
1796
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
1797
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1799
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
1800
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
1801
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1803
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
1804
(__monty__, #257170)
1806
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
1807
Bazaar is doing network IO.
1813
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
1814
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
1816
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
1817
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
1819
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
1820
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
1822
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
1823
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
1825
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
1826
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
1827
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1829
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
1832
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
1833
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
1839
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
1842
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
1843
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
1844
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
1845
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1847
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1848
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1849
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1851
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1852
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1854
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1855
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1856
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1857
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1859
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1865
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1866
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1867
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1869
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1870
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1871
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1872
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1874
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1875
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1880
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1881
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1882
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1883
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1884
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1886
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1887
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1888
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1889
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
1890
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1891
suite. (Robert Collins)
1893
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1894
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1895
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1897
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1898
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
1904
:2.0.6: NOT RELEASED YET
1909
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
1910
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
1911
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1913
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
1914
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
1915
marked versioned too.
1916
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1918
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
1919
target of the symlink.
1920
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
1922
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
1923
both working tree and branch.
1924
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
1926
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1927
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1928
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1930
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
1931
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
1933
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1934
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1935
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1937
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1938
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1939
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1940
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
1942
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1943
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1945
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1946
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1948
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1949
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1950
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1951
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1952
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1954
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1955
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1956
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1957
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1959
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1960
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1961
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1962
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1968
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
1969
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1977
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
1978
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
1979
earlier 2.0 releases.
1984
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1985
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1987
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1988
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1989
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1990
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1991
another process already removed the file.
1992
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1994
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1995
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1997
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1999
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
2000
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
2001
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
2003
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
2005
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
2006
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
2008
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
2009
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
2010
``UnboundLocalError``.
2011
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
2013
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
2014
version number along with rest of the help text.
2015
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
2017
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
2019
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
2024
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
2025
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
2027
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
2028
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
2034
:Codename: smooth sailing
2037
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
2038
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
2039
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
2040
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
2046
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
2047
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
2049
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
2050
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
2051
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
2052
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
2054
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
2055
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
2056
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
2057
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
2058
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
2060
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
2061
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
2062
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
2064
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
2065
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
2066
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
2067
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
2069
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
2070
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
2072
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
2073
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
2074
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
2075
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
2076
(Martin Pool, #456077)
2078
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
2079
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
2080
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
2081
users, rather than something nicer.
2082
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
2084
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
2085
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
2087
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
2088
build. (there is still the distutils bug
2089
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
2091
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
2092
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
2093
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
2095
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
2096
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
2097
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
2098
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
2099
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
2101
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
2102
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
2103
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
2108
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
2109
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
2110
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
2111
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
2120
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
2121
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
2122
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
2123
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
2124
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
2125
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
2128
Compatibility Breaks
2129
********************
2131
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
2132
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
2133
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
2134
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
2135
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
2140
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
2141
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
2143
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
2144
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
2146
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
2147
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
2149
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
2150
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
2151
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
2152
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
2156
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
2157
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
2165
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
2166
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
2167
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
2169
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
2170
and issues a warning.
2171
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
2173
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
2175
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
2176
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
2178
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
2179
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
2180
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
2181
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
2183
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
2185
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
2186
(Robert Collins, #84659)
2188
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
2190
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
2191
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
2193
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
2195
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
2196
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2198
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
2199
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
2200
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
2201
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
2203
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
2204
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
2206
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
2207
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
2209
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
2210
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
2211
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
2213
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
2214
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
2215
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
2216
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
2218
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
2219
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
2220
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
2222
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
2223
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
2224
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
2225
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
2227
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
2228
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
2229
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
2235
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2237
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
2238
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2240
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
2241
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
2242
(John Arbash Meinel)
2244
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
2245
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
2248
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
2249
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
2250
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
2251
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
2252
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
2257
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
2263
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
2265
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
2266
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
2267
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
2273
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
2274
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2275
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2276
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2278
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2279
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2280
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2281
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2282
(John Arbash Meinel)
2284
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2285
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2286
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2287
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2288
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
2289
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2294
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
2295
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
2301
:Codename: little italy
2305
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
2306
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
2312
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
2313
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
2314
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
2316
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
2317
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
2319
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
2320
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
2321
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
2322
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
2324
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2330
:Codename: after sprint recovery
2331
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
2333
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
2334
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
2335
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
2336
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
2338
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
2339
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
2340
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
2341
formats for Remote objects.
2347
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
2348
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
2353
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
2355
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
2357
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
2358
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
2360
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2362
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
2363
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2364
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2365
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2366
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
2367
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2369
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2370
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2371
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
2372
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2374
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2375
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2377
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2378
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2380
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2381
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2382
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2383
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2384
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2385
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2386
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2388
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
2389
(Alexander Belchenko)
2391
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
2392
Python level. (Martin Pool)
2397
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
2399
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
2400
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
2401
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
2403
(Martin Pool, 493944)
2408
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
2409
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
2410
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
2415
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
2416
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
2418
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2419
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2421
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2422
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2424
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2425
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2427
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2428
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2429
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2430
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2432
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2433
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2435
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2436
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2437
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2438
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2440
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2441
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2442
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2443
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
2450
:Codename: a load off my mind
2451
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2453
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2454
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2456
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2457
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2458
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2459
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2460
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2463
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2464
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2465
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2466
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2467
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2468
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
2473
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2474
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2476
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2477
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2478
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2479
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2481
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2482
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2484
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2485
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2486
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2487
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2489
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2490
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2492
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
2493
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
2498
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2499
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2500
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2501
(John Arbash Meinel)
2503
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
2504
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
2505
(John Arbash Meinel)
2510
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2511
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
2516
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
2518
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
2519
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
2525
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2526
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2527
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2528
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2529
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2530
(John Arbash Meinel)
2532
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2533
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2534
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2535
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2536
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2537
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2538
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2539
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2540
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2542
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2543
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2544
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2545
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2546
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2547
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2548
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2550
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2551
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2552
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2553
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
2559
:Codename: after the scare
2562
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
2563
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
2564
changes or features.
2569
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
2570
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
2572
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
2575
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2577
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
2578
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
2579
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
2581
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
2582
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
2584
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
2585
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
2587
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
2588
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
2593
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
2594
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
2599
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2600
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
2606
:Codename: While the cat is away
2607
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
2609
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
2610
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
2611
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
2612
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
2613
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
2614
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
2615
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
2617
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
2618
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
2619
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
2620
error handling during unlocking.
2626
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
2629
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
2630
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
2631
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
2632
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
2633
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
2634
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
2636
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
2637
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
2638
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
2640
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
2641
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
2644
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
2645
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
2646
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
2648
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
2649
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
2652
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
2653
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
2654
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
2659
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2660
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2661
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2662
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2663
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2664
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2665
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2667
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2668
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2669
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2671
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2672
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
2673
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
2674
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
2676
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
2677
merges are present in the working tree.
2678
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
2680
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2681
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2683
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
2684
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
2686
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
2687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
2689
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
2690
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
2691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
2693
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2694
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2696
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
2697
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
2699
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
2700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
2702
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
2703
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
2704
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
2709
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
2710
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
2711
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
2713
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
2714
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
2715
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
2716
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
2717
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
2718
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
2719
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
2720
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
2722
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
2723
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
2724
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
2725
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
2726
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
2731
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2733
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2734
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2739
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
2740
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2742
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
2743
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
2745
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
2746
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
2747
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
2749
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
2752
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
2753
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
2754
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
2755
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
2756
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
2758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
2760
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
2766
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
2767
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
2770
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
2771
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
2772
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
2773
(John Arbash Meinel)
2775
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
2776
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
2782
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
2783
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
2785
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
2786
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
2788
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
2789
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
2792
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
2794
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
2796
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
2797
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
2799
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
2800
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
2801
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2803
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
2804
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
2805
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
2806
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
2807
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
2809
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
2810
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
2812
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
2813
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
2819
:Codename: Stability First
2822
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
2823
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
2824
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
2830
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2831
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2832
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2834
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
2835
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
2836
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
2838
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
2839
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
2840
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
2842
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
2843
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
2845
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
2846
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
2847
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
2848
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
2849
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
2851
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
2852
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
2854
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
2855
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
2856
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
2857
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
2859
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
2860
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
2861
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
2863
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
2864
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
2865
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
2866
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
2867
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
2868
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
2869
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
2871
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
2872
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2874
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
2875
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
2876
to download the entire cix file many times.
2877
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
2879
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
2880
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
2885
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2887
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
2895
:Codename: Instant Karma
2897
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2898
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2899
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2900
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2901
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
2904
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2905
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2907
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2908
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2909
months or until the following stable release.
2911
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2912
******************************
2914
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2915
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2916
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2917
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2923
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
2928
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
2929
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
2930
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
2935
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2936
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2937
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2938
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2939
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2940
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2941
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2943
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2944
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2945
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2947
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2948
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2950
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
2951
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
2952
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2954
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2955
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2957
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2958
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2959
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2960
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2961
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2962
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2963
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2965
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2966
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2967
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2968
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2969
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2970
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2972
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2973
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2974
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2976
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2977
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2978
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2980
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2981
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2982
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2984
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2985
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2987
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2988
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2989
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
2990
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
2995
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
2996
older smart servers.
2997
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
2999
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
3000
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
3002
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
3003
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
3004
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
3006
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
3007
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
3008
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
3010
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
3011
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3017
:Codename: no worries
3018
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
3020
Compatibility Breaks
3021
********************
3023
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
3024
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
3025
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
3026
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
3027
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
3029
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
3030
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
3031
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
3032
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
3037
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
3038
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3043
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3044
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3046
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
3047
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
3048
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
3049
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
3050
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
3052
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
3053
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
3054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
3056
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
3057
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
3059
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
3060
(Martin Pool, #286871)
3062
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
3063
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
3064
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
3066
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
3067
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
3068
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
3069
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
3074
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
3075
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
3076
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3078
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
3079
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
3080
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
3081
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
3083
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
3085
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
3086
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
3088
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
3089
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3091
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
3092
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
3093
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
3095
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
3096
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
3097
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
3098
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
3099
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
3100
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
3105
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
3111
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
3112
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
3113
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
3121
:Codename: nein nein nein!
3124
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
3125
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
3126
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
3127
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
3128
pushing to older servers.
3133
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
3134
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
3135
(Martin Pool, #415508)
3137
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
3138
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
3139
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
3144
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
3145
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
3147
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
3148
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3153
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
3154
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
3155
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
3157
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
3158
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
3159
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
3161
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
3162
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
3163
should be used. (Robert Collins)
3168
Compatibility Breaks
3169
********************
3171
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
3172
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
3173
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
3174
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
3175
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
3183
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
3184
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
3185
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
3186
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
3187
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
3189
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
3190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
3192
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
3193
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
3195
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3196
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3198
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
3199
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
3200
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
3201
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
3203
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
3204
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
3205
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
3207
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
3208
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
3210
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
3211
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
3212
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
3213
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
3218
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
3219
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
3220
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3222
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
3223
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
3224
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
3225
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
3226
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
3228
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
3229
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
3230
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
3231
(John Arbash Meinel)
3242
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
3243
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
3244
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
3245
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
3246
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
3247
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
3249
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
3250
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
3251
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
3252
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
3254
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
3255
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
3256
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
3257
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
3258
(John Arbash Meinel)
3260
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
3261
protocols. (Robert Collins)
3263
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
3264
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
3265
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
3266
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
3272
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
3273
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

3281
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
3283
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
3284
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
3285
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
3286
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
3287
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
3288
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
3290
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3291
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
3292
or until the following stable release.
3294
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
3299
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
3300
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
3302
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
3303
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
3304
(Martin Pool, #391411)
3309
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
3310
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
3311
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
3313
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
3314
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
3315
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
3316
(Martin Pool, #123688)
3318
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
3319
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
3320
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3321
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3323
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3324
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3326
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3327
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3328
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3329
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3331
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3332
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3334
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3335
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3337
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3338
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3339
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3340
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3341
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3343
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3344
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3345
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3347
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3348
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3349
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3350
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3351
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3353
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3354
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3356
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3357
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3358
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3360
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3361
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3362
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3364
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3365
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3367
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3368
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3369
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3371
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3372
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3374
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3375
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3377
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3378
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3380
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3381
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3382
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3384
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3385
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3386
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3388
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3390
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3391
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3393
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3394
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3395
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3396
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3397
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3398
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3400
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3401
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3402
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3404
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3405
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3406
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3407
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3409
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3410
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3411
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3412
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3413
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3415
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3416
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
3417
(Robert Collins, #187207)
3422
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3425
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3426
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3427
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3428
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3430
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3431
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
3432
(John Arbash Meinel)
3437
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3442
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
3443
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
3444
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
3445
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
3446
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
3447
passwords. (Martin Pool)
3449
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
3452
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
3455
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
3459
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
3460
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
3465
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
3466
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
3467
paths. (Robert Collins)
3469
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
3470
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
3472
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
3473
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
3474
disk. (Robert Collins)
3476
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3477
it. (Robert Collins)
3479
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3480
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
3481
(Alexander Belchenko)
3487
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
3488
(Martin Pool, #409684)
3490
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3491
(Martin Pool, #408199)
3493
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
3494
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
3495
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
3496
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
3497
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
3498
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
3501
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
3502
#######################
3507
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3508
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3509
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3514
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
3515
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
3519
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
3520
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
3523
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
3524
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
3525
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
3526
annoying progress bar artifacts.
3529
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
3530
*********************************
3532
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
3533
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
3534
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
3536
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
3537
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
3538
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
3540
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
3541
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
3544
Compatibility Breaks
3545
********************
3547
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
3548
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
3549
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
3550
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
3556
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3557
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3558
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
3559
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
3561
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
3562
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
3563
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3565
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3566
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
3567
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
3569
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
3571
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
3572
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
3573
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
3574
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3580
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3581
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3583
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3584
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3585
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3586
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3588
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3589
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3591
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3592
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3593
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3595
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3596
(Martin Pool, #321935)
3598
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3599
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3601
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3602
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3604
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3605
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3606
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
3608
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
3611
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
3612
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
3614
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
3615
of a remote repository.
3616
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
3618
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
3619
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
3622
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
3624
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
3626
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
3627
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
3629
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
3630
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
3632
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
3633
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
3634
(Martin Pool, #339385)
3636
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
3637
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
3638
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
3639
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
3640
(John Arbash Meinel)
3642
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
3643
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
3644
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
3646
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
3647
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
3648
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
3649
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
3650
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
3651
(Robert Collins, #376243)
3653
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
3654
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
3655
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
3656
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
3657
activity display respectively.
3658
(Martin Pool, #340347)
3660
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
3661
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
3663
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
3666
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
3667
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
3673
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
3674
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
3675
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
3676
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
3678
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
3679
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
3680
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
3681
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
3684
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
3685
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
3687
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
3688
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
3689
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
3690
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
3691
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
3692
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3694
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
3695
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
3696
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
3697
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
3699
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
3700
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
3701
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
3702
(John Arbash Meinel)
3705
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
3706
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
3707
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
3708
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
3714
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
3715
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
3716
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
3717
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3719
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
3720
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
3721
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
3723
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
3726
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
3727
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
3729
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
3730
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
3731
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3733
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
3734
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
3735
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
3736
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3738
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
3744
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
3745
formatting in the user reference.
3746
(Martin Pool, #249908)
3748
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
3754
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
3757
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
3758
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
3759
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
3765
:Released: 2009-06-26
3767
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
3768
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
3769
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
3772
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
3773
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
3774
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
3776
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
3777
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
3782
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
3783
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3785
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
3786
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
3787
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
3789
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
3790
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
3791
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
3792
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
3793
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
3794
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
3795
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3797
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
3798
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
3799
converted data. (Robert Collins)
3801
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
3802
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
3803
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
3805
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
3806
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
3807
that. (Robert Collins)
3809
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
3810
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
3811
repository. (Robert Collins)
3813
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
3814
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
3815
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
3816
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

3826
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
3827
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
3828
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
3829
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
3831
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
3832
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
3833
bug fixes and improvements.
3836
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
3837
*********************************
3839
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
3840
2a can work correctly.
3841
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
3843
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3844
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3845
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3848
Compatibility Breaks
3849
********************
3851
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
3852
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
3853
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
3859
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
3860
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
3861
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
3862
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
3863
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
3864
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
3867
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
3868
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
3869
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
3870
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
3872
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
3873
and more concisely repacks the full history.
3875
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
3876
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
3878
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
3879
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
3880
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3882
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
3883
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
3889
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
3890
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
3891
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3893
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3894
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3895
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3896
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3897
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3899
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3900
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3901
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3902
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3904
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3905
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3911
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3912
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
3913
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
3914
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3920
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
3921
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
3923
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3924
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
3926
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3927
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3928
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3930
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3931
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3933
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3934
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3935
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3937
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3938
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3939
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3940
(John Arbash Meinel)
3942
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
3943
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
3945
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
3946
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
3948
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
3949
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3951
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
3952
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
3953
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
3954
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
3955
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3956
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3958
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
3960
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
3961
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
3963
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3964
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3966
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3967
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3968
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3969
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3970
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3972
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3973
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3974
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3975
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3980
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
3981
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
3982
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
3987
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
3989
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
3990
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
3991
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3993
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
3994
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
3995
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
3997
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
3998
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4000
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
4001
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
4006
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
4007
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4012
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
4013
(Martin Pool, #386180)
4015
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
4017
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4019
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)

:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
4028
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
4029
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
4030
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
4031
revisions introduce the exact same line.

Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2

Compatibility Breaks
4053
********************
4055
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
4056
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
4057
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
4058
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
4063
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
4064
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
4067
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
4068
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
4069
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
4070
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
4072
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
4073
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
4074
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
4075
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
4077
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
4078
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
4081
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
4082
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
4083
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4088
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
4089
server. (Jonathan Lange)
4091
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
4092
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
4094
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
4095
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
4096
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
4098
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
4103
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
4104
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
4106
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
4108
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
4109
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
4111
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
4112
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
4114
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
4115
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
4117
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
4118
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
4119
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
4120
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
4122
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
4123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
4125
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4126
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4128
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
4129
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
4131
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
4132
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
4134
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
4135
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
4137
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
4138
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
4140
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
4141
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4143
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
4144
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
4145
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
4146
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
4147
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
4148
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
4149
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
4150
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
4151
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
4152
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
4153
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
4154
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
4155
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
4156
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
4158
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
4159
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
4160
(Robert Collins, #368921)
4162
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
4163
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
4171
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
4172
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
4173
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
4175
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
4176
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
4177
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
4178
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
4179
(Alexander Belchenko)
4184
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
4185
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
4186
encoding. (Robert Collins)
4188
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
4189
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
4192
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
4193
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
4194
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
4195
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
4196
configuration. (Robert Collins)
4198
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
4199
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
4200
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
4202
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
4203
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
4204
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
4205
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
4207
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
4208
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
4209
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
4211
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
4212
backwards. (Robert Collins)
4214
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
4215
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
4216
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4217
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
4219
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
4220
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
4221
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4223
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
4224
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
4226
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
4227
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
4228
branches. (Robert Collins)
4230
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
4231
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4233
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
4238
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
4239
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
4290
********************
4292
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4293
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4294
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4295
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4296
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4298
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4299
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4300
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4302
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4303
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4304
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4305
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4306
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4311
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4312
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4313
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4314
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4315
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4318
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4321
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4322
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4324
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4325
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4326
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4327
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4328
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4330
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4331
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4333
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4336
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4337
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4338
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4339
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4342
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4343
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4344
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4345
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4346
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4348
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4349
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4352
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
4358
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4359
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4360
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4362
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4363
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4364
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4365
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4366
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4368
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4369
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4372
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4373
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4374
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4376
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4379
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
4382
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
4383
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4385
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4386
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4388
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4389
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4391
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4392
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4395
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4396
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4397
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4399
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4400
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4401
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4404
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4405
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4406
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4407
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4409
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4410
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4411
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4412
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4413
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4414
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4415
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4416
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
4417
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4419
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
4425
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4426
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4427
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4428
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4429
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4430
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4431
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4433
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4434
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4436
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4437
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4438
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4439
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4441
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4442
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4444
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4446
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4449
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4450
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4451
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4453
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4454
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4456
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4457
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4459
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4460
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4461
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4463
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4464
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4465
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4466
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4468
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4470
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
4471
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
4473
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4474
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4475
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4476
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4477
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4479
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4480
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4481
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4482
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4483
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4484
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4485
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4487
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4488
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4490
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4491
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4494
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4495
(James Westby, #341558)
4497
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4498
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4500
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4501
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
4506
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4508
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4510
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
4511
(James Westby, #336998)
4516
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4519
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4520
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4523
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4524
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4527
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4528
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4529
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4531
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4532
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4533
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4535
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4536
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4537
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4538
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4541
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4542
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4545
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4548
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4549
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4551
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4552
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4553
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4554
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4556
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4557
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4558
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4563
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4564
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4565
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4566
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4567
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4569
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4572
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4573
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4574
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4575
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4581
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4582
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4584
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4585
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4587
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4588
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4589
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4591
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4592
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4593
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4594
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4596
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4597
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4598
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4599
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4601
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4602
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4603
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4605
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4606
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4607
dependency. (Robert Collins)
4609
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
4610
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
4611
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4613
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
4614
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
4617
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
4618
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
4619
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
4621
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
4622
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4624
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
4625
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
4626
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4628
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
4629
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
4632
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
4633
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
4634
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4636
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
4637
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
4638
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
4639
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
4640
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
4642
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
4643
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
4644
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
4645
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4647
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
4648
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
4649
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
4650
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4652
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
4653
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
4654
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4656
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
4657
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
4660
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
4661
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
4662
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
4664
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
4665
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
4666
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
4667
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
4668
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
4670
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
4671
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
4672
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
4675
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
4676
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
4677
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
4678
desired. (Robert Collins)
4680
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
4681
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
4682
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
4683
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4685
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
4686
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
4687
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
4699
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
4700
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
4701
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
4703
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
4704
*****************************
4706
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
4707
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
4708
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
4709
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
4710
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
4711
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
4717
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
4718
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
4719
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4721
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
4722
********************************
4724
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
4725
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
4726
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
4731
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
4732
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
4734
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
4735
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
4737
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
4738
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
4740
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4742
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
4743
*********************************
4745
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4746
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4747
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4749
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4750
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4752
Compatibility Breaks
4753
********************
4755
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
4756
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
4757
command may need to be adjusted.
4758
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4763
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
4764
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
4765
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
4767
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
4770
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
4771
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
4772
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
4775
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
4776
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
4778
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
4779
(John Arbash Meinel)
4781
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
4782
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
4784
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
4786
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
4787
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
4790
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
4796
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
4797
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
4798
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
4799
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
4800
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
4801
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
4802
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
4803
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
4806
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
4807
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
4809
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
4810
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
4811
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
4813
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
4814
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
4816
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
4817
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
4818
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
4821
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
4822
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
4823
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4825
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
4826
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
4827
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
4828
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4830
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
4833
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
4834
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
4836
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
4837
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
4839
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
4840
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
4841
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
4843
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
4848
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
4849
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
4851
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
4852
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
4853
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
4855
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
4856
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
4857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
4859
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
4860
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
4862
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
4863
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
4866
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
4867
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
4868
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
4870
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
4871
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
4873
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
4874
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
4876
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
4877
(James Westby, #174539)
4879
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4880
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4882
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
4883
error branching from old repositories.
4884
(Martin Pool, #321695)
4886
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
4887
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
4889
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
4890
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
4891
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4892
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4894
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4895
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4898
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4899
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4901
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4902
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4904
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4905
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4906
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4908
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4909
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4911
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
4912
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
4917
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
4918
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
4919
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
4922
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4923
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
4925
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
4926
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
4931
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4932
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4933
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4934
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4935
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4937
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4938
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4940
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4941
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4942
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4943
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4944
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4945
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4947
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4948
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4950
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
4951
"author" argument being deprecated.
4953
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
4955
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4956
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4957
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4958
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4960
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4961
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4962
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4964
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4965
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4966
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4968
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4969
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4971
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4972
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4973
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4974
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4979
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4980
free of virtual file system methods.
4981
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4983
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4984
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4985
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4987
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4988
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4989
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4990
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4991
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4992
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4994
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4996
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4997
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4999
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
5000
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
5001
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
5002
stream the operation.
5003
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5005
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
5006
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
5008
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
5009
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
5010
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
5011
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
5012
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5014
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
5015
branch object. (Robert Collins)
5017
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
5018
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
5019
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
5021
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
5022
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
5025
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
5028
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
5029
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
5030
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5032
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
5033
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
5034
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5036
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
5037
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
5038
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5040
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
5041
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
5042
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5044
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
5045
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
5046
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
5047
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
5048
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
5050
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
5051
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
5052
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
5053
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
5054
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
5055
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
5057
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
5058
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
5059
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
5060
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
5061
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5063
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
5064
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5066
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
5067
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
5069
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
5070
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
5071
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
5072
to access private data in record to obtain content more
5073
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5075
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
5076
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:Codename: 1234567890
5085
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
5087
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
5088
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
5089
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
5090
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
5091
by showing the rate of network IO.
5093
Changes from RC1 to Final
5094
*************************
5096
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
5097
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
5099
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
5100
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5102
Compatibility Breaks
5103
********************
5105
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
5106
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
5107
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
5108
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
5110
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
5111
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
5112
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
5115
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
5116
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
5117
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
5118
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5120
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
5121
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
5122
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
5125
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5130
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
5131
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
5132
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
5135
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
5136
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
5137
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
5139
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
5140
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
5141
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
5142
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
5143
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
5144
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
5145
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
5146
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
5147
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
5153
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
5156
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
5159
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
5160
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
5161
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
5163
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
5164
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
5165
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
5166
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
5167
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
5169
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
5170
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
5172
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
5173
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
5174
level for better precision.
5177
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
5178
rules. (Marius Kruger)
5180
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
5181
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
5182
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
5184
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
5185
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
5186
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
5189
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
5190
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
5191
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
5196
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
5198
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
5200
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
5201
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
5202
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
5204
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
5205
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
5206
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
5207
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
5208
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
5209
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
5211
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
5212
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
5214
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
5215
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
5217
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
5218
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5219
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5221
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
5222
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
5223
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
5226
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
5227
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
5229
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
5230
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
5231
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
5232
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
5234
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
5235
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
5237
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5239
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
5244
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5249
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
5250
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
5253
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
5254
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5256
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
5257
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5259
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
5260
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5262
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
5263
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
5264
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
5265
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
5267
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
5268
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
5269
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
5274
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
5275
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
5276
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
5277
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
5278
compile buffers, are such an example).
5281
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
5282
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
5285
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
5286
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
5287
efficient way of doing the mapping.
5290
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
5291
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
5293
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
5294
formatters to retrict the output.
5301
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
5302
:Released: 2009-01-19
5304
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
5305
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
5306
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
5307
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
5308
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
5310
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
5311
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
5314
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
5315
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
5320
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
5323
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
5324
(John Arbash Meinel)
5331
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
5332
:Released: 2009-01-09
5337
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
5338
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5343
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
5344
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
5346
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
5347
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
5348
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
5349
implement other plugins.
5352
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
5358
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
5359
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
5361
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
5362
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
5364
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
5365
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
5366
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
5367
processes which drag in shell extensions.
5370
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
5371
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
5372
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
5373
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
5374
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
5376
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
5377
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
5378
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
5379
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
5380
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
5385
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
5386
control directory. (#139691)
5388
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
5389
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
5391
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
5392
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
5394
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
5395
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
5396
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
5398
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
5399
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
5401
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
5402
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5403
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5405
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
5406
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
5408
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
5411
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
5412
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
5413
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
5415
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
5416
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
5418
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
5419
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
5420
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
5422
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
5423
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
5424
in the appropriate sections.
5425
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
5427
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
5428
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
5429
(John Arbash meinel)
5431
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
5432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
5434
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
5435
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
5437
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
5438
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5440
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
5441
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
5442
work better with how it splits its requests.
5443
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
5445
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5446
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5447
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5449
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
5452
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
5454
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
5455
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
5457
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
5463
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
5464
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
5465
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
5471
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
5472
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
5473
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
5474
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5476
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5477
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5479
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5480
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5481
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5482
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5484
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5485
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5486
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5487
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5492
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
5493
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
5494
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
5496
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
5497
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
5498
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
5499
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
5501
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
5502
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
5503
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
5509
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
5510
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
5511
(John Arbash Meinel)
5513
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
5514
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
5515
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
5516
(John Arbash Meinel)
5518
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
5519
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
5520
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
5521
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
5523
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
5524
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
5525
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
5527
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
5528
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
5529
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
5530
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
5532
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
5533
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
5534
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
5535
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
5536
(John Arbash Meinel)
5538
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
5539
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
5541
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
5542
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
5543
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
5545
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
5546
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
5547
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
5548
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
5550
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
5551
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
5552
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
5553
(John Arbash Meinel)
5555
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
5556
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
5557
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
5558
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
5559
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
5560
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
5561
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5563
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
5564
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

5573
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
5574
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
5575
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
5576
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
5579
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
5584
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
5585
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
5586
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
5587
(Martin Pool, #303856)
5589
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
5590
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
5591
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
5592
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
5593
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
5599
:Released: 2008-11-28
5601
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5602
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5603
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5604
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5605
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
5610
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
5611
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5613
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
5619
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
5620
history just to set the last revision info.
5621
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5623
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
5624
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
5625
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
5626
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5628
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
5629
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
5630
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
5631
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
5632
(John Arbash Meinel)
5634
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
5635
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5637
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
5638
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
5639
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
5640
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
5641
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
5643
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
5644
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
5645
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
5646
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
5651
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
5652
(Martin Pool, #289148)
5654
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
5655
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
5657
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
5658
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
5659
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
5660
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
5662
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
5663
starting with a dotted revno.
5664
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
5666
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
5667
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
5668
(Martin Pool, #288751)
5670
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5671
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5672
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5674
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
5675
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
5676
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
5678
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
5679
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
5680
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
5681
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
5683
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
5684
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
5685
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
5687
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
5688
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
5693
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
5694
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
5695
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
5696
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
5698
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
5699
have changed incompatibly.
5701
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
5702
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
5703
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
5704
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
5705
don't need to change.
5707
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
5708
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
5713
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
5714
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
5716
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
5722
:Released: 2008-11-07
5724
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
5725
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
5726
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
5727
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
5728
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
5729
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
5734
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
5735
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
5737
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
5739
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
5740
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
5741
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
5747
:Released: 2008-10-31
5752
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
5753
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
5755
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
5756
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
5757
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
5758
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
5763
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
5764
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
5765
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
5766
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
5767
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
5768
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
5770
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
5771
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5773
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
5774
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
5775
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
5777
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
5778
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
5779
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
5782
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
5783
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
5785
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
5786
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
5788
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
5789
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
5791
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
5792
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
5793
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
5794
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
5795
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
5796
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
5797
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
5798
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
5799
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
5800
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5805
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
5806
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
5808
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
5809
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
5811
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
5812
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
5813
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
5815
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
5816
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
5817
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
5819
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
5820
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
5821
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
5823
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
5824
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
5825
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
5826
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
5827
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
5828
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
5830
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
5831
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
5833
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
5834
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
5836
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
5837
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
5838
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
5839
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
5840
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5842
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5843
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5844
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
5845
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
5850
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
5855
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
5860
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
5861
configuration of authetication credentials.
5867
:Released: 2008-10-16
5869
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
5870
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
5871
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
5872
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
5873
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
5878
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
5879
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
5884
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
5885
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
5891
:Released: 2008-10-07
5896
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
5897
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
5898
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
5899
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
5900
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5902
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
5903
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
5905
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
5906
server. (Marius Kruger)
5908
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
5909
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
5910
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
5911
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
5912
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
5913
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
5918
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
5919
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
5920
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
5922
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
5927
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
5928
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
5929
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
5930
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
5932
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
5933
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
5936
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
5937
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
5940
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
5943
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
5945
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
5946
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
5948
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
5949
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
5951
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
5952
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
5953
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
5954
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
5955
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
5956
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
5957
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
5958
operations. (Robert Collins)
5960
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
5962
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
5963
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
5964
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
5969
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
5970
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
5971
(Martin Pool, #279381)
5973
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5974
repository now preserves the repository format.
5975
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5977
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
5978
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
5980
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
5981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
5983
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
5985
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
5987
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5990
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
5991
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
5992
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
5994
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
5995
is in a different repository than the current one.
5996
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
5998
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
5999
(David Futcher, #242106)
6001
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
6002
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6004
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
6005
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
6006
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
6007
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
6009
* Trivial documentation fix.
6010
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
6012
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
6013
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
6014
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
6015
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
6020
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
6025
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
6026
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
6027
to use. (Robert Collins)
6029
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
6030
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
6031
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
6033
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
6034
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
6035
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
6036
they want. (Robert Collins)
6041
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
6042
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
6043
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
6045
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
6046
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
6049
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
6052
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
6053
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
6055
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
6061
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
6062
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
6064
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
6065
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
6066
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
6068
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
6069
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
6070
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
6072
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
6073
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6075
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
6076
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
6078
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
6079
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
6081
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
6082
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
6083
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
6084
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
6092

No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
6100
:Released: 2008-09-24
6102
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
6103
file paths when we encounter complex history.
6108
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
6109
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
6110
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
6111
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
6112
(John Arbash Meinel)
6118
:Released: 2008-09-23
6120
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
6121
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
6122
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
6123
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
6124
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
6125
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
6130
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
6131
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
6132
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
6138
:Released: 2008-09-17
6140
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
6141
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
6142
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
6143
connect to the stacked-on location.
6148
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
6149
repository now preserves the repository format.
6150
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
6152
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
6153
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
6155
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
6158
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
6165
:Released: 2008-09-09
6167
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
6168
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
6169
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
6170
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
6171
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
6172
it in a future repository format.
6178
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
6181
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
6182
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
6183
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
6185
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
6186
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
6187
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
6192
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
6193
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
6195
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
6200
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
6201
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
6204
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
6205
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
6207
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
6208
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
6211
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
6212
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
6213
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
6214
(John Arbash Meinel)
6216
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
6217
(Martin Pool, #261315)
6219
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
6220
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
6221
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
6222
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
6223
(John Arbash Meinel)
6225
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
6226
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
6227
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
6228
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
6229
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
6230
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
6231
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
6232
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
6233
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
6234
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
6239
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
6240
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
6242
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
6243
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
6244
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
6246
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
6247
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
6248
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
6250
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
6251
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
6252
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
6253
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
6254
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
6255
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
6257
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
6258
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
6260
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
6261
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
6263
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
6264
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
6265
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
6266
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
6267
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
6268
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
6270
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
6271
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
6273
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
6274
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
6276
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
6277
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
6278
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
6279
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
6281
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
6282
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
6284
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
6285
assuming the host name is ascii.
6286
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
6288
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
6289
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
6294
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
6299
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
6301
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
6302
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
6303
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
6306
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
6307
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6309
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
6310
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
6312
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
6313
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
6318
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
6319
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
6320
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
6321
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
6323
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
6327
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
6328
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
6329
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6331
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
6337
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
6338
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
6341
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
6342
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
6343
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
6344
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
6345
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6347
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
6348
is unknown in both source and target.
6349
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
6351
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
6352
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
6353
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
6354
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6356
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
6357
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
6358
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
6359
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

6367
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
6368
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
6369
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
6375
:Released: 2008-09-03
6380
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
6381
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
6382
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
6383
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
6389
:Released: 2008-08-29
6391
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
6392
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
6393
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
6394
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
6395
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
6396
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
6397
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
6398
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
6399
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
6400
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
6401
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
6402
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
6407
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
6408
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
6409
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
6410
start of the string (causing more copies).
6411
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
6412
especially for projects with large files.
6413
(John Arbash Meinel)
6415
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
6416
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
6417
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
6418
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
6419
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
6421
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
6422
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
6423
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
6424
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
6425
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
6434
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
6435
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6436
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
6437
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
6438
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
6439
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
6440
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
6441
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
6442
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
6448
:Released: 2008-08-19
6453
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
6454
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
6455
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
6456
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
6457
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
6463
:Released: 2008-08-18
6468
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
6469
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
6470
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
6476
:Released: 2008-08-14
6481
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
6482
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
6488
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
6489
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
6490
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
6496
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
6497
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
6498
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
6500
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
6501
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
6502
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
6503
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
6504
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
6505
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
6506
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
6512
:Released: 2008-08-13
6514
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
6520
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
6521
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
6523
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
6524
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
6527
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
6528
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
6529
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
6530
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
6531
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
6533
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
6534
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6536
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
6537
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
6539
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
6540
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
6542
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
6543
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
6544
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
6545
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
6546
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
6547
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
6553
:Released: 2008-08-06
6555
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
6556
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
6557
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
6558
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
6559
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
6564
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
6565
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
6566
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
6571
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
6572
check. (Daniel Watkins)
6574
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
6575
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
6577
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
6578
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
6579
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6581
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
6584
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6585
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6586
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6587
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6588
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
6589
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
6590
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6592
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
6593
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
6594
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
6599
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
6600
physical repository boundaries.
6601
(Martin Pool, #252428)
6603
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
6604
(Martin Pool, #206258)
6606
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
6607
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
6610
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
6613
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
6614
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
6615
that Python is running from.
6616
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
6618
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
6619
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
6620
(Robert Collins, #150438)
6622
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
6623
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
6625
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
6626
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
6627
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
6629
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
6630
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
6632
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
6633
(James Westby, #248448)
6638
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
6639
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
6640
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
6643
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
6644
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
6647
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
6648
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
6649
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
6650
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
6651
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
6652
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
6655
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
6656
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6658
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
6659
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
6660
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
6661
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
6662
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
6663
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
6668
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
6669
putting together a real history without having to create a full
6670
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
6671
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
6672
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
6673
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6675
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
6676
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
6677
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
6679
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
6682
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
6683
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
6685
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
6692
:Released: 2008-07-17
6694
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
6695
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
6696
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
6697
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
6703
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
6704
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
6705
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
6707
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
6708
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
6709
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
6710
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
6711
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
6714
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
6716
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
6717
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
6718
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
6724
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
6725
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
6728
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
6729
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
6730
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
6731
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
6733
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
6734
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
6735
(Christophe Troestler)
6737
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
6738
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
6740
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
6741
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
6742
faster. The new request method name is
6743
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6748
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
6749
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
6750
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
6751
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
6752
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
6754
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
6755
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
6757
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
6758
requires a branch to be present.
6759
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
6761
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
6763
(Martin Pool, #205230)
6765
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
6766
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
6767
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
6768
(Martin Pool, #240161)
6770
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
6771
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
6773
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
6775
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
6777
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
6778
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
6779
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
6780
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
6781
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
6783
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
6784
(Martin Pool, #172870)
6786
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
6787
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
6789
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
6791
(Matt McClure, #209281)
6793
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
6794
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
6796
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
6797
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
6802
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
6805
* Updated developer documentation.
6811
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
6812
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
6814
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
6815
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
6816
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
6817
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
6822
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
6823
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
6824
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
6825
Repository docstring for more details.
6828
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
6829
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
6830
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
6832
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
6833
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
6836
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
6837
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
6838
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
6839
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
6844
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
6845
(Alexander Belchenko)
6847
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
6848
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
6849
containing a given location.
6852
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
6853
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
6854
storage. (Robert Collins)
6856
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
6859
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
6860
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
6867
:Released: 2008-06-10
6869
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
6870
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
6871
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
6877
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
6878
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
6879
reading from the repository.)
6880
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
6882
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6883
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6885
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
6886
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
6889
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
6890
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
6891
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
6893
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
6894
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
6895
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
6897
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
6898
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
6900
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
6901
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
6902
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
6903
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
6908
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
6910
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
6911
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
6912
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
6915
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
6916
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
6921
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6926
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6927
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6932
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6933
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6934
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6935
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6936
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6938
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
6939
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
6944
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
6945
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
6947
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
6948
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
6953
:Released: 2008-06-02
6955
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
6956
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
6957
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
6958
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
6959
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
6960
and future extensions.
6963
Notes When Upgrading
6964
********************
6966
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
6967
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
6968
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
6969
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6970
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6971
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6972
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
6973
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
6978
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
6979
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
6980
(John Arbash Meinel)
6985
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
6986
load. (James Westby)
6991
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
6992
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
6993
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
6994
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6996
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
6997
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
6998
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
7000
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
7001
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
7003
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
7004
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
7005
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
7007
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
7008
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
7009
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
7010
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
7011
step closer to not using full revision history.
7012
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
7017
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
7018
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
7020
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
7021
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7023
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
7024
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
7026
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
7027
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
7028
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
7029
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
7031
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
7032
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
7033
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
7034
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
7036
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
7037
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
7038
in use by another process.
7041
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
7042
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
7043
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
7044
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
7046
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
7047
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
7049
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
7050
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
7051
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
7053
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
7054
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
7055
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
7057
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
7059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
7061
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
7062
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
7064
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
7065
under vim on Mac OS X.
7066
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7068
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
7069
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
7074
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
7075
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
7077
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
7078
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
7081
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
7082
and about use of Python reprs.
7083
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
7085
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
7090
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
7093
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
7094
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
7096
* New helper function for splitting test suites
7097
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
7102
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
7103
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
7104
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
7105
(John Arbash Meinel)
7110
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
7111
instead. (Martin Pool)
7113
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
7114
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
7115
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
7116
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
7118
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
7119
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
7120
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
7121
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
7122
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
7124
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
7125
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
7126
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
7127
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
7128
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
7129
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
7131
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
7132
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
7135
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
7136
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
7139
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
7140
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
7141
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
7142
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
7144
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
7145
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
7146
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
7148
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
7149
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
7150
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
7151
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
7152
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
7155
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
7156
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
7157
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
7158
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
7161
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7162
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7163
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7164
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7165
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7167
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
7174
:Released: 2008-05-16
7176
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
7177
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
7178
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
7183
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
7184
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
7185
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7190
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
7191
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
7198
:Released: 2008-05-09
7203
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
7204
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
7205
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
7206
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
7211
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
7212
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
7214
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
7215
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
7217
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
7223
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
7224
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
7226
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
7227
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
7229
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
7230
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
7231
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
7233
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
7234
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
7235
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
7237
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
7240
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
7241
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
7243
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
7244
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
7246
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
7247
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
7249
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
7250
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
7252
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
7253
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
7254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
7256
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
7257
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
7259
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
7260
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
7262
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
7263
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
7264
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
7265
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
7267
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
7268
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
7271
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
7272
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
7273
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
7275
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
7276
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
7277
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
7278
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
7279
every revision each side had in common.
7280
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7282
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
7283
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
7285
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
7286
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
7287
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
7288
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
7293
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
7294
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
7295
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
7296
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
7298
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
7300
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
7302
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
7303
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
7308
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
7309
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
7310
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
7312
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
7313
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
7314
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
7315
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
7317
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
7318
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7320
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
7321
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
7322
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
7323
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7325
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
7326
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
7327
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
7328
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7333
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
7334
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
7335
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
7337
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
7339
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
7340
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
7342
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7343
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
7345
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
7346
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
7351
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
7352
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
7353
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
7355
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
7356
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
7357
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
7360
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
7361
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
7364
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

7373
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
7374
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
7375
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
7376
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
7377
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
7378
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
7379
and faster performance.
7384
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
7385
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
7386
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
7387
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
7393
:Released: 2008-04-21
7398
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
7399
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
7400
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
7402
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
7403
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
7405
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
7406
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
7408
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
7409
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
7410
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
7411
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
7412
every revision each side had in common.
7413
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7419
:Released: 2008-04-11
7424
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
7426
* On GNU/Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
7427
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
7429
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
7430
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
7431
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
7433
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
7434
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
7435
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
7436
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
7437
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
7438
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
7441
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
7442
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
7443
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
7444
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
7449
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
7451
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
7452
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
7453
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
7455
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
7456
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
7457
See the User Reference for signature details.
7458
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
7460
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
7461
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
7466
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
7467
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
7468
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
7469
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7471
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
7472
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
7474
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
7475
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
7476
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
7479
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
7482
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
7483
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7484
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7486
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7489
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7490
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7492
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
7493
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
7495
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
7496
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
7497
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
7499
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
7500
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
7501
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
7502
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
7503
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
7505
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
7506
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
7508
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
7509
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7514
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
7515
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
7516
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
7517
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
7518
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
7519
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
7521
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
7522
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
7524
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
7525
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
7526
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
7528
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
7529
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
7531
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7532
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7533
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
7534
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7536
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
7537
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
7538
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
7539
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
7540
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
7542
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
7544
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
7545
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
7547
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
7549
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
7550
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
7552
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
7553
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
7558
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
7560
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
7562
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7564
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
7569
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
7570
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
7571
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
7573
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
7574
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
7575
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
7576
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
7578
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
7579
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
7580
release. (James Westby)
7582
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
7585
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7587
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7588
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7590
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7591
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7593
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7594
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7596
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7597
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7598
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7600
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7601
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7602
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7603
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7605
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
7606
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
7607
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
7608
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
7610
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
7611
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
7612
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
7613
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
7614
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
7615
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
7617
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
7618
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
7619
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
7621
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
7622
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7624
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
7625
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
7628
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
7629
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
7631
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
7632
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
7634
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
7635
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
7637
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7638
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
7639
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
7641
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
7642
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
7643
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
7644
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
7645
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
7646
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
7651
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
7652
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
7653
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
7654
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
7656
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
7657
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
7658
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
7659
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
7663
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
7664
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
7667
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
7668
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
7670
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
7672
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
7673
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
7674
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
7679
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7681
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
7684
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
7685
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
7686
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
7687
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
7688
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
7689
(Martin Pool, #109520)
7691
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
7692
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
7694
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
7695
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
7696
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
7697
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
7699
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
7700
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
7702
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
7703
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
7709
:Released: 2008-04-09
7711
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
7717
:Released: 2008-04-04
7722
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7723
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7724
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

7733
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
7735
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
7736
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
7737
features have been added.

Notes When Upgrading
7753
********************
7755
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
7756
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
7761
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
7762
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
7763
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
7764
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
7767
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
7768
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
7769
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
7770
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
7771
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
7772
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
7774
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
7775
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
7776
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
7777
(Alexander Belchenko)
7779
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7781
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
7782
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
7787
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
7788
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
7790
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
7791
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
7797
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
7799
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7801
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
7802
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
7803
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
7805
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
7806
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
7808
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
7809
to. (Daniel Watkins)
7811
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
7812
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
7813
(Alexander Belchenko)
7815
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
7816
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
7817
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
7818
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
7820
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
7823
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
7824
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
7825
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
7826
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
7827
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
7832
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
7833
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
7834
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
7835
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
7837
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
7838
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
7840
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
7841
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
7843
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
7844
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
7845
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
7847
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
7848
(#198793, John Ferlito)
7850
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
7853
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
7854
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
7856
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
7858
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
7860
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
7861
symlinks (James Henstridge)
7863
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
7864
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
7866
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
7867
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
7869
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
7870
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
7872
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
7873
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
7875
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
7876
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
7881
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
7882
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7887
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
7888
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
7889
(Alexander Belchenko)
7894
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
7896
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
7897
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
7903
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
7904
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
7905
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
7907
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
7908
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
7909
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
7910
(Alexander Belchenko)
7912
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
7913
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
7914
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
7915
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
7917
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
7918
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
7919
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
7922
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
7923
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
7924
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
7926
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
7927
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
7928
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
7930
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
7931
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
7932
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
7933
format. (Robert Collins)

7955
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
7956
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
7957
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
7958
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
7959
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
7965
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7966
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7968
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7969
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7970
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7972
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7973
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7974
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7975
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7976
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7977
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7983
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7984
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7986
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7987
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7988
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7991
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7992
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7993
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7994
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7995
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7997
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7998
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7999
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
8000
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
8001
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
8002
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
8003
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
8004
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
8009
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
8010
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
8012
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
8013
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8015
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
8016
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8018
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
8019
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
8020
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
8022
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
8023
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
8024
(John Arbash Meinel)
8029
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
8030
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
8032
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
8033
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
8035
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
8036
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
8038
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
8039
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
8040
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
8042
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
8043
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
8044
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
8046
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
8047
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
8049
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
8050
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
8051
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
8052
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
8053
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
8055
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8057
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
8058
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
8061
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
8062
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
8064
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
8065
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
8067
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
8068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
8070
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
8071
more characters which should be considered valid.
8072
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
8074
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
8075
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
8077
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
8078
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
8083
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
8084
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
8086
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
8087
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
8093
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
8094
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
8100
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
8101
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
8102
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
8104
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
8105
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
8106
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
8108
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
8109
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
8110
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
8111
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
8113
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
8115
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
8116
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
8117
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
8118
server. (Robert Collins)
8120
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
8121
operate. (Robert Collins)
8123
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
8124
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
8125
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
8127
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
8128
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
8129
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
8130
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
8132
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
8133
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
8135
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
8136
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
8137
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
8139
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
8140
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
8142
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
8143
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
8145
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
8146
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
8147
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
8148
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

8161
:Released: 2008-01-05
8166
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
8167
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
8168
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
8169
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
8171
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
8172
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
8173
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
8174
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
8179
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
8182
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
8185
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
8186
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
8191
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
8194
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
8195
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
8196
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
8198
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
8200
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
8201
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
8202
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
8203
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
8204
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
8206
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
8207
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
8208
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
8210
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
8211
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
8213
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
8216
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
8218
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
8220
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
8223
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
8224
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
8229
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
8230
(Martin Pool, #180208)
8232
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
8233
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
8235
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
8238
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
8239
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
8241
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
8242
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
8244
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
8245
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8247
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
8248
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
8250
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
8251
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
8252
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
8254
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
8255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
8257
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
8258
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
8261
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
8263
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
8264
user:pass embedded in the urls.
8265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
8267
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
8268
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
8270
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
8273
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
8276
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
8277
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
8279
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
8282
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
8283
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
8286
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
8287
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
8288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
8293
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
8296
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
8297
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
8298
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
8299
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
8300
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
8301
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
8303
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
8308
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
8311
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
8312
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
8314
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
8316
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
8317
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
8318
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
8321
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
8322
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8324
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
8333
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
8334
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
8335
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
8337
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
8338
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
8341
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
8342
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
8344
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
8345
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
8347
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
8348
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
8350
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
8351
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
8352
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
8354
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
8355
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
8357
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
8358
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
8360
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
8361
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
8364
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
8365
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
8367
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
8368
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

8381
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
8384
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
8386

8401
by mail to the mailing list.
8407
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
8409
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
8410
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
8411
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
8412
feedback but also incur more latency.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
8415
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
8416
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
8421
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
8423
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
8429
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
8430
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
8431
wraps its output in a StringIO.

:Released: 2007-12-07
8443
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
8445
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
8448
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
8451
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
8452
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
8453
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
8454
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8456
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
8459
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
8460
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
8462
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
8463
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
8464
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
8466
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
8467
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
8468
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
8469
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
8470
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
8471
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
8472
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
8473
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
8474
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
8479
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

Notes When Upgrading
8518
********************
8520
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8521
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8522
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8523
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8525
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8526
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8528
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8529
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8531
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8532
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8533
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8534
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8535
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8536
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8537
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8538
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8539
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8540
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8541
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8542
from any tree without problems.
8543
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
8548
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
8549
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
8550
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
8552
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
8553
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
8559
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
8560
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
8561
supported transports.
8564
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
8565
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
8566
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
8568
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
8569
(Robert Collins, #154173)
8571
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
8572
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
8573
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
8574
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
8576
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
8577
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
8582
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
8583
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
8584
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
8585
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8587
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8588
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
8589
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
8590
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
8592
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
8593
(Robert Collins, #88319)
8595
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
8596
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
8598
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
8599
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
8601
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
8602
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
8608
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
8611
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
8612
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
8615
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
8616
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
8617
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
8618
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
8620
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
8621
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
8622
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
8623
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
8631
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
8632
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
8634
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
8635
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
8637
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
8638
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
8640
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
8641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
8643
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
8644
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
8646
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
8647
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
8649
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
8650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
8652
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
8655
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
8656
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
8658
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
8659
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
8660
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
8662
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
8663
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
8665
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
8666
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
8668
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
8669
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
8671
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
8672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
8674
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
8675
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
8676
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
8677
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
8679
(Martin Pool, #164637)
8681
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
8682
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
8683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
8685
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
8686
(Robert Collins, #161240)
8688
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
8690
(Martin Pool, #164443)
8692
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
8693
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
8695
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
8696
specify a port in urls.
8697
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
8699
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
8700
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
8702
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
8703
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
8705
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
8706
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
8708
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
8709
(Robert Collins, #153789)
8711
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
8712
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
8713
(Robert Collins, #165304).
8715
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
8717
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
8718
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
8720
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
8723
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
8724
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
8726
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
8727
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
8729
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
8730
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
8731
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
8733
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
8734
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
8736
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
8737
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
8738
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
8739
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
8741
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
8742
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
8744
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
8745
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
8746
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
8748
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
8749
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
8751
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
8752
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
8754
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
8755
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
8760
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
8761
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
8763
* The return value of
8764
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
8765
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
8766
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
8767
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
8769
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
8772
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
8773
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
8780
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
8781
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
8782
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
8785
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
8786
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
8788
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
8794
:Released: 2007-11-05
8799
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
8805
:Released: 2007-10-29
8810
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
8811
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
8813
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
8814
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
8815
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
8816
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
8817
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
8818
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
8819
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
8820
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
8821
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
8822
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
8823
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
8824
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
8830
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
8831
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
8832
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
8833
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
8834
commands. (Robert Collins)
8836
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
8837
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
8838
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
8841
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
8843
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
8844
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
8846
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
8847
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
8850
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
8851
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
8852
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
8857
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
8858
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
8860
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
8861
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
8863
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
8864
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
8865
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
8866
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
8868
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
8871
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
8872
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
8873
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
8874
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
8876
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
8877
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
8879
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
8880
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
8882
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
8883
the contents. (Robert Collins)
8885
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
8886
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
8891
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
8892
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
8894
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
8895
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
8897
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
8898
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
8900
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
8901
(Martin Pool, #63894)
8903
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
8904
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
8909
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
8911
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
8917
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
8918
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
8919
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
8921
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
8922
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
8924
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
8925
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
8927
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
8928
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
8929
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8930
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8932
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8933
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8934
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8935
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8936
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8938
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8939
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8941
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
8943
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8945
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
8946
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
8948
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
8949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
8951
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
8952
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
8954
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
8955
contains a symbolic link.
8956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
8958
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
8959
(James Westby, #140615)
8961
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
8962
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
8963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
8965
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
8966
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
8967
(Martin Pool, #144633)
8969
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8971
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8974
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8976
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8978
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8979
directory to detect leaking tests.
8980
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8982
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8983
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8984
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8986
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8989
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8990
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8992
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8998
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8999
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
9001
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
9002
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
9003
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
9005
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
9006
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
9007
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
9009
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
9010
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
9012
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
9013
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
9015
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
9016
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
9019
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
9020
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
9022
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
9023
class that needs it.
9026
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
9027
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
9029
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
9030
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
9031
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
9033
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
9034
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
9035
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
9038
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
9039
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
9040
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
9041
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
9047
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
9048
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
9049
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
9051
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
9052
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
9053
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
9054
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
9056
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
9057
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
9060
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
9061
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
9062
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
9064
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
9065
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
9066
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
9068
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
9069
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
9071
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
9072
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
9073
to complete. (Robert Collins)
9075
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
9076
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
9078
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
9079
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
9080
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
9082
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
9083
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
9084
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
9086
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
9087
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
9088
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
9089
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
9091
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
9092
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
9093
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
9094
returned. (Robert Collins)
9096
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
9097
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
9099
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
9100
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
9101
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
9102
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
9105
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
9106
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
9111
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
9112
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
9114
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
9115
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
9116
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
9117
makes this behavior available to other users.
9120
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
9121
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
9127
:Released: 2007-09-26
9132
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9133
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
9134
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9136
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9138
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
9139
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
9140
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
9141
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
9143
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
9144
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
9151
:Released: 2007-09-11
9153
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
9154
in bzrlib/remote.py.
9160
:Released: 2007-09-11
9165
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
9166
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
9167
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
9168
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
9171
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
9172
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
9173
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
9179
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
9180
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
9181
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
9184
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
9185
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
9186
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
9188
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
9189
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
9190
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
9192
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
9193
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
9195
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
9196
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
9197
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
9198
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
9199
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
9200
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
9201
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
9202
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
9203
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
9204
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
9206
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
9207
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
9209
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
9210
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
9211
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
9216
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
9217
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
9219
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
9220
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
9221
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
9223
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
9224
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
9226
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
9227
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
9229
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
9232
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
9233
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
9235
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
9236
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
9238
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
9239
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9241
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
9242
(Blake Winton, #129299)
9244
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
9246
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
9249
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
9250
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
9251
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
9252
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
9254
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9256
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
9257
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
9260
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9261
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9263
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9264
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9267
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9268
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9270
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9271
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9273
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9274
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9275
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9276
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9277
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9278
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9279
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9281
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9282
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9284
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9285
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9287
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9288
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9290
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9293
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9297
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9298
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9300
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9301
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9302
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9304
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9305
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
9306
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9311
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
9312
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9314
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9317
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9320
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
9321
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9323
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9325
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
9326
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
9328
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9329
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9331
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9332
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9333
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9334
space). (Robert Collins)
9336
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9337
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9340
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9341
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9343
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9344
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
9346
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9347
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9348
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9349
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9351
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9352
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9353
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
9356
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9359
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9360
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
9361
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
9363
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9364
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9365
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9366
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9367
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
9372
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9373
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9375
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9376
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9377
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9378
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9379
affected. (Robert Collins)
9381
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9382
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9383
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9386
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9387
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9392
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
9393
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
9395
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9396
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9398
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9399
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9401
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
9404
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
9405
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9410
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9411
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9412
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9413
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9415
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9416
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9418
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9419
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9420
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9421
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9423
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9424
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9425
present. (Robert Collins)
9427
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9428
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9429
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9430
API. (Robert Collins)
9432
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9433
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9436
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9437
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9439
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9440
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9441
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9442
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9443
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9444
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9446
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9447
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9448
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9450
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9451
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9452
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9453
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9456
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9459
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9460
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9461
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9462
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9463
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9464
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9465
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9467
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9468
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9469
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9470
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9472
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9473
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9474
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9475
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9476
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9477
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9479
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9480
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9481
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9483
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9484
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9490
:Released: 2007-08-28
9495
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
9496
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
9497
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
9498
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
9499
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
9500
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
9501
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
9502
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
9508
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
9509
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
9510
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
9516
:Released: 2007-08-14
9521
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9522
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9523
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9524
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9525
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9527
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9528
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9530
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
9532
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9534
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
9535
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9538
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9539
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9542
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
9545
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9546
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9548
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9549
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9551
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9552
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9554
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
9555
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
9557
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
9558
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
9560
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
9566
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9567
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9569
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9570
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9572
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9573
the repository (Robert Collins)
9575
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9576
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9577
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9578
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9579
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9581
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9582
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9584
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9585
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9586
(John Arbash Meinel)
9588
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9589
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9590
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9592
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9593
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9594
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9595
(John Arbash Meinel)
9597
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9598
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9601
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9602
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9604
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9607
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
9609
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
9611
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
9612
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
9614
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
9615
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
9618
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
9619
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
9620
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
9621
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9623
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
9624
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
9625
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
9627
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
9628
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
9629
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
9631
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
9632
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
9634
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
9635
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
9636
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
9637
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
9638
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
9639
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
9642
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
9643
(Alexander Belchenko)
9645
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
9646
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
9648
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
9649
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
9651
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
9653
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
9654
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
9659
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
9660
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
9661
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
9662
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
9664
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
9666
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
9669
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
9670
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
9671
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
9672
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
9673
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
9674
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
9679
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
9680
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
9681
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
9682
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
9684
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
9685
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
9686
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
9687
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
9688
tests have been refactored too.
9691
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
9692
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
9693
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
9697
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
9698
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
9699
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9701
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
9702
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
9703
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
9704
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
9705
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
9706
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
9707
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
9709
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
9710
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
9711
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
9712
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
9713
(John Arbash Meinel)
9715
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
9716
functionality for testing.
9718
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
9720
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
9721
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9723
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
9725
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
9728
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
9729
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
9731
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
9732
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
9733
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
9735
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
9738
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
9739
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
9741
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
9742
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
9743
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
9744
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
9746
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
9747
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
9749
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
9750
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
9751
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
9753
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
9756
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
9757
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
9758
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
9759
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
9760
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
9761
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
9763
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
9764
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
9765
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
9766
many files. (Robert Collins)
9768
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
9769
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
9770
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
9771
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
9776
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
9777
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
9778
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
9780
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
9781
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
9783
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
9784
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
9785
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
9802
:Released: 2007-07-10
9807
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
9808
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
9810
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
9811
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
9812
(James Westby, #122656)
9814
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
9815
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
9817
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
9818
authentication header.
9819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
9821
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
9823
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
9824
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
9826
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
9828
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
9829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
9831
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
9832
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
9833
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
9835
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
9836
individually and as part of revision ranges.
9837
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
9839
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
9840
(Martin Pool, #109169)
9842
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
9843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
9845
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
9846
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
9848
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9850
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
9855
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
9856
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
9857
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
9858
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9859
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
9860
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
9862
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
9863
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
9864
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
9866
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
9869
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
9870
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
9872
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
9873
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
9875
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
9876
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
9878
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
9879
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
9880
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
9881
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
9882
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
9884
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
9885
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
9887
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
9888
can be slow it is useful feedback).
9889
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
9891
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
9892
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
9894
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
9896
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
9897
output. (Aaron Bentley)
9899
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
9900
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
9903
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
9906
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
9907
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
9909
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
9910
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
9912
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
9913
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
9915
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
9917
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
9918
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
9920
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
9926
* Testing cleanups -
9927
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9928
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
9929
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9930
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
9931
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9932
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
9933
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9934
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
9935
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9936
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
9937
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
9938
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
9939
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9940
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
9941
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9942
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
9943
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
9946
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
9948
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
9949
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
9950
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
9952
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
9953
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
9955
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
9956
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9958
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
9960
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9961
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9962
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9963
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9964
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
9965
same location. (Robert Collins)
9970
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
9972
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
9974
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
9976
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
9979
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9982
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9983
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9984
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9986
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9988
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9989
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9990
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9992
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9993
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9995
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9996
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9997
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9999
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
10000
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
10001
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
10003
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
10004
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
10005
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
10007
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
10008
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
10011
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
10012
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
10014
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
10015
(Alexander Belchenko)
10020
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
10021
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
10022
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
10023
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10025
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
10026
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
10027
testing. (Robert Collins)
10029
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
10030
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
10032
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
10033
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
10034
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
10035
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
10036
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
10037
attribute during the test parameterisation in
10038
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
10040
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
10041
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
10042
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
10043
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
10045
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
10046
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
10048
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
10049
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
10074
********************
10076
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
10077
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
10078
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10079
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
10080
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10081
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
10082
and unlock() like so::
10084
work_tree.lock_read()
10086
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
10092
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
10093
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
10095
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
10096
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
10097
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
10099
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
10100
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
10101
too. (Robert Collins)
10106
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
10107
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
10110
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
10111
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
10113
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
10114
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
10116
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
10117
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
10118
understanding what changes have occurred
10119
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
10121
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
10122
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
10123
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10125
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
10126
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
10127
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
10128
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
10130
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
10136
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
10137
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
10138
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
10139
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
10140
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
10142
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
10143
based on split paths, not just string paths.
10144
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
10146
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
10147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
10149
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
10151
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
10153
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
10154
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
10156
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
10157
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
10159
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
10160
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
10162
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
10163
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
10165
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
10166
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
10168
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
10169
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
10170
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
10175
:Released: 2007-05-07
10180
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
10181
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
10182
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
10183
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
10184
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
10186
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
10187
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
10188
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
10190
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
10191
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
10196
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
10197
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
10198
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
10200
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
10201
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
10202
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
10203
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
10208
:Released: 2007-04-30
10213
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
10214
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
10215
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
10216
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
10218
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
10219
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
10220
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
10222
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
10223
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
10225
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
10226
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
10228
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
10229
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
10234
:Released: 2007-04-26
10236
Notes When Upgrading
10237
********************
10239
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
10240
it could be recovered again.
10241
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
10242
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
10243
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
10245
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
10247
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
10248
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
10253
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
10254
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10256
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
10257
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
10258
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
10259
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
10261
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
10262
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
10264
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
10265
tests with names that match that regular expression.
10266
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
10268
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
10269
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
10270
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
10272
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
10273
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
10274
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
10276
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
10277
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
10280
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
10283
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
10284
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
10285
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
10286
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
10288
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
10291
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
10292
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
10293
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
10296
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
10297
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
10299
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
10300
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
10302
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
10303
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
10304
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
10305
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
10308
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
10309
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
10311
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
10312
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10314
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
10315
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10316
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10318
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10319
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10320
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10322
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10323
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10324
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10326
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10327
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10328
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10329
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10331
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10332
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10333
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10334
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10336
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10337
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10338
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10339
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10340
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10341
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10342
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10343
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10350
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10351
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10353
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10354
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10355
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10356
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10357
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10359
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10360
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10362
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10363
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10365
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10366
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10368
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10369
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10371
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10372
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10373
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10376
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10377
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10378
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10379
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10380
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10383
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10384
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10385
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10387
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10388
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10391
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10392
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10393
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10396
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10397
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10398
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10399
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10400
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10402
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10403
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10404
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10405
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10407
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10408
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10410
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10411
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10412
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10413
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10414
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10415
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10417
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10418
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10420
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10421
help. (Robert Collins)
10423
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10424
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10426
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10427
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10428
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10429
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10430
(John Arbash Meinel)
10432
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10433
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10434
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10435
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10436
useful. (Robert Collins)
10438
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
10444
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
10445
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
10447
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
10448
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
10450
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
10451
properly and is no longer beneficial.
10452
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
10454
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
10457
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
10458
the file, and does it faster.
10459
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
10461
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
10462
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
10463
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
10465
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
10466
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
10467
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
10468
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
10470
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
10471
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
10472
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
10473
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
10475
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
10476
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
10478
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
10479
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
10480
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
10481
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
10484
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
10486
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
10487
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
10489
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
10490
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
10492
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
10493
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
10494
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
10495
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
10499
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
10500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
10505
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
10506
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
10507
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10509
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10510
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
10512
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10513
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10514
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10515
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10516
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10517
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10518
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10519
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10521
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10522
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10523
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10525
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10526
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10527
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10528
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10529
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10531
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10533
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
10534
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
10535
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
10537
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
10538
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
10544
:Released: 2007-04-01
10549
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
10552
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
10553
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
10559
:Released: 2007-03-26
10564
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
10565
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
10571
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10572
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10573
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10574
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10575
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10576
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10577
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10578
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
10584
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
10585
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
10586
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
10588
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
10589
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
10592
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
10593
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
10594
(John Arbash Meinel)
10596
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
10597
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
10598
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
10599
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
10600
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
10605
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
10608
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
10609
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
10611
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
10612
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
10614
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
10615
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
10616
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
10618
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
10619
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
10621
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
10622
last-changed-revision for directories. The
10623
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
10624
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
10625
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
10627
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
10628
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
10629
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
10631
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
10640
********************
10642
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
10643
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
10644
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
10649
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
10650
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
10652
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
10653
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
10655
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
10657
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
10658
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
10660
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
10661
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
10666
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
10672
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
10673
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
10674
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
10675
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
10677
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
10678
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
10680
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
10681
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
10683
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
10686
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
10687
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
10693
:Released: 2007-03-07
10698
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
10699
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
10700
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
10701
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
10702
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
10703
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
10705
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
10706
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
10707
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
10708
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
10709
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
10710
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
10712
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10714
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
10715
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
10716
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
10717
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
10718
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
10719
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
10720
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
10721
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10726
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
10727
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
10729
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
10730
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10731
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
10732
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
10734
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
10735
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
10736
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
10737
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
10738
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
10740
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
10743
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
10746
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
10749
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
10750
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
10753
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
10756
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
10757
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
10759
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
10760
directory. (Martin Pool)
10762
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
10763
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
10764
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
10765
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
10767
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
10768
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
10769
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
10770
in docs/configuration.txt.
10772
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
10773
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
10776
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
10777
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
10778
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
10779
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
10780
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
10781
repositories. (Martin Pool)
10783
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
10784
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10786
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
10787
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
10789
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
10795
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
10796
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
10797
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
10798
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
10799
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
10800
(John Arbash Meinel)
10802
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
10803
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
10806
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
10807
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
10808
(John Arbash Meinel)
10810
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
10811
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
10812
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
10813
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
10814
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
10815
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
10817
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
10818
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
10819
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
10821
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
10822
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
10823
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
10824
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
10826
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10828
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
10829
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
10830
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
10831
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
10833
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
10834
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
10835
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
10836
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
10838
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
10839
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
10840
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
10842
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
10843
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
10844
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
10846
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
10847
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
10848
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
10849
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
10851
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
10852
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
10853
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
10855
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
10856
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
10857
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
10859
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
10860
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
10861
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
10862
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
10863
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
10864
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
10865
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
10866
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
10867
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
10869
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
10874
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
10875
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
10876
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
10878
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
10881
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
10882
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
10883
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
10884
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)

* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
10887
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
10890
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
10891
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
10893
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
10895
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
10896
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
10897

10899
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.

10902
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.

* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
10920
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

10931
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
10936
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
10937
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
10938
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
10940
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
10941
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
10942
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
10948
:Released: 2007-01-16
10953
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
10954
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
10955
server, then you can write over the http connection.
10956
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10958
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
10961
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
10962
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
10963
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
10965
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
10966
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
10968
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
10971
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10972
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10973
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10974
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10975
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10976
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10978
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10979
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10980
should enable you to do::
10982
[/home/user/project]
10983
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10984
push_location:policy = appendpath
10986
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10987
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10990
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
10991
for each file. For example::
10993
$ bzr status --short
10999
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
11000
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
11002
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
11004
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
11005
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
11007
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
11012
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
11013
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
11014
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
11015
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
11017
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
11018
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
11019
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
11021
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
11023
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
11024
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
11025
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
11026
(Alexander Belchenko)
11028
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
11031
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
11032
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
11034
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
11039
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
11040
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
11042
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
11043
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
11044
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
11045
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
11046
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
11048
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
11049
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
11051
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
11052
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
11054
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
11056
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
11058
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
11059
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
11060
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
11061
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
11062
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
11064
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
11065
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
11066
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
11067
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
11069
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
11070
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
11072
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
11073
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
11075
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
11099
tree from a branch.
11100
(Daniel Silverstone)
11102
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
11103
operations are substantially faster.
11104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
11106
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
11107
tree from some other url. For example:
11108
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
11109
(Daniel Silverstone)
11111
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
11112
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
11113
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
11114
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
11116
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
11119
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
11120
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
11121
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
11122
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
11123
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
11124
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
11129
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
11130
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
11133
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
11134
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
11135
(John Arbash Meinel)
11137
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
11138
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
11139
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
11140
(John Arbash Meinel)
11142
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
11143
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
11145
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
11146
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
11148
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
11149
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
11155
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
11156
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
11157
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
11159
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
11160
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
11161
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
11162
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
11164
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
11166
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
11167
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
11169
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
11170
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
11171
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
11172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
11174
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
11175
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
11176
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
11178
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
11179
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
11180
them as full references rather than integers.
11181
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
11183
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
11184
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
11186
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
11188
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
11189
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
11191
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
11192
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
11194
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
11195
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
11196
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
11197
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
11199
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
11200
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
11201
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
11203
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
11204
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
11206
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
11207
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
11208
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
11209
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
11239
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
11240
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
11241
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
11243
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
11244
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
11246
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
11248
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
11249
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
11250
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
11251
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
11253
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
11254
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
11255
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
11256
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

API Incompatability
11260
*******************
11262
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
11263
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
11268
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
11269
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
11270
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11272
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
11273
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
11274
(John Arbash Meinel)
11276
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
11277
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
11278
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
11280
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
11281
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
11284
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
11285
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
11286
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11288
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
11289
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
11290
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
11291
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
11292
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
11293
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11295
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
11296
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
11297
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
11300
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
11301
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
11306
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
11307
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
11308
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
11311
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
11312
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
11314
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
11315
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
11316
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
11318
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
11319
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
11321
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
11322
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
11323
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
11324
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
11326
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
11327
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
11329
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
11330
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
11331
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
11333
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
11334
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
11336
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
11338
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
11339
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
11345
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
11346
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
11347
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
11348
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
11350
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
11351

:Released: 2006-09-25
11382
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
11383
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
11384
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11385
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
11386
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
11387
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
11388
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
11390
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
11391
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
11392
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
11394
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
11396
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
11397
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
11399
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
11400
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
11401
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
11404
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
11405
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
11406
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based

which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
11415
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
11416
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
11417
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
11418
(John Arbash Meinel)
11423
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
11424
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
11426
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
11428
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
11429
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
11430
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
11432
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
11433
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
11435
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
11436
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
11438
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
11439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
11441
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
11442
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
11444
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
11446
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
11447
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
11449
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
11450
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
11452
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
11453
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
11455
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
11456
(John Arbash Meinel)
11458
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
11459
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
11460
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
11462
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
11463
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
11465
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
11466
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
11467
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
11468
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
11470
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
11471
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
11472
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
11474
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
11475
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
11480
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
11485
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
11486
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
11487
(John Arbash Meinel)
11489
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
11490
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
11491
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
11492
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11494
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
11497
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
11498
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
11499
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
11501
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
11502
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
11504
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11505
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11506
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11508
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11509
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11510
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11511
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11512
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11513
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11514
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11515
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11516
caller to repeat their request.
11517
(John Arbash Meinel)
11519
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11520
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11522
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11523
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11525
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11526
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11527
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11528
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11529
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11530
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11531
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11533
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11534
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11535
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11536
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11537
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11538
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11539
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11540
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11543
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11544
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
11545
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
11547
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
11548
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
11550
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
11551
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
11553
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
11554
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11559
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
11560
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
11562
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
11563
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
11564
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11566
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
11567
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
11568
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
11573
:Released: 2006-08-29
11577
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
11578
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
11580
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
11581
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
11582
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
11583
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11584
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11586
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11587
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11588
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11590
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11591
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11593
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11594
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
11595
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11600
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11602
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11603
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11604
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
11606
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
11608
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
11610
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
11611
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
11612
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
11613
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
11615
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
11616
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
11617
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
11618
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
11619
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
11621
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
11622
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
11624
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
11625
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
11627
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
11628
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
11630
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
11631
in handling of revision properties.
11632
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
11634
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
11635
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
11640
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
11641
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
11642
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
11643
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
11644
(John Arbash Meinel)
11646
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
11647
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
11648
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
11653
:Released: 2006-08-11
11658
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11659
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
11660
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
11661
specific one '.bzrignore'.
11662
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
11663
a more conservative list than the old default.
11664
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
11665
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
11666
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
11667
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
11669
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
11670
to more locations than just branch locations.
11676
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
11677
revno:N:branch. For example,
11678
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
11679
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
11681
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
11682
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
11683
the path of a file that has been versioned.
11684
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
11685
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
11686
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11687
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
11688
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
11691
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
11692
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
11693
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
11696
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
11697
(Alexander Belchenko)
11699
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
11701
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
11704
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
11705
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
11706
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
11707
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
11708
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
11709
(John Arbash Meinel)
11711
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
11712
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
11713
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
11714
grained analysis of performance.
11715
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11717
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
11718
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
11720
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
11721
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
11722
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
11723
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
11724
file. (Robert Collins).
11726
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
11727
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
11728
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
11730
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
11731
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
11734
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
11735
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
11737
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
11738
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
11739
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
11740
the same way you would apply another branch.
11741
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
11743
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
11744
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
11746
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
11749
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
11752
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
11753
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
11754
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
11756
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
11757
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
11758
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
11760
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
11761
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
11763
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
11764
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
11765
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
11766
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
11767
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
11769
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
11770
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
11772
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
11773
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
11774
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
11775
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
11776
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
11777
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
11778
branch is as much as 4x faster.
11779
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
11781
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
11782
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
11783
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
11788
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
11790
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
11792
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
11793
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11795
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
11796
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
11798
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
11799
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
11801
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
11803
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
11804
(John Arbash Meinel)
11806
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
11807
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
11809
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
11810
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
11813
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
11814
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
11816
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
11817
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
11819
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
11820
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
11821
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
11822
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
11824
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
11825
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
11827
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
11829
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
11830
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
11832
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
11834
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
11836
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
11837
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
11839
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
11840
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
11842
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
11843
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
11844
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
11846
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
11847
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
11848
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
11850
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
11851
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
11853
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
11854
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
11856
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
11857
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
11859
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
11860
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
11862
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
11863
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
11865
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
11866
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
11867
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
11869
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
11871
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
11872
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
11877
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
11878
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
11879
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
11881
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
11882
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
11884
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
11885
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
11886
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11888
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
11889
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11891
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
11892
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
11895
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
11896
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
11897
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11899
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
11900
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
11901
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11903
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
11904
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
11905
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
11907
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
11908
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
11909
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
11911
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
11912
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
11913
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
11915
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
11916
instead. (Robert Collins)
11918
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
11923

11928
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
11933
:Released: 2006-05-16
11938
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
11939
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
11941
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
11942
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11944
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
11945
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
11946
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
11951
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
11953
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.

(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
11956
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
11961
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
11962
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
11963
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
11964
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
11969
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
11970
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
11971
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
11976
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
11977
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
11978
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11983
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
11984
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

Notes When Upgrading
11992
********************
11994
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11995
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11996
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11997
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11998
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11999
will keep the same format.
12001
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
12002
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
12003
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
12004
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
12005
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
12007
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
12008
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
12009
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
12010
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
12011
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
12012
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
12013
indicating the current revision of the branch.
12015
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
12016
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
12017
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
12018
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
12019
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
12021
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
12022
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
12023
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
12030
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
12031
convention. Paths now take the form::
12033
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
12035
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12037
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12038
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
12040
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
12041
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
12042
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
12044
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
12045
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
12046
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
12047
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
12049
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
12050
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
12051
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
12053
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
12055
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
12057
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
12058
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
12061
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
12062
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
12063
| xargs bzr re-sign
12065
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
12067
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
12068
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
12069
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
12072
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
12074
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
12076
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
12079
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
12080
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
12082
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
12083
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
12084
Daniel Silverstone)
12086
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
12087
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
12090
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
12092
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
12094
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
12095
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
12097
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
12098
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
12099
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
12100
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
12101
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
12102
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
12104
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
12106
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
12107
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
12110
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
12111
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
12113
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
12114
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
12116
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
12118
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
12119
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
12120
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
12121
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
12122
specification by Martin Pool.
12123
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
12125
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
12128
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
12129
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12131
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
12132
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
12133
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
12135
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
12137
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
12138
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
12144
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
12145
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12147
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
12149
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
12151
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
12154
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
12155
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
12156
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
12157
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
12162
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
12163
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
12164
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
12165
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12167
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
12168
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
12169
tried. (Martin Pool)
12171
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
12174
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
12176
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
12177
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
12178
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
12180
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
12181
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
12183
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
12184
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
12185
paths. (Robert Collins)
12187
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
12188
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
12189
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
12191
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
12192
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
12193
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
12195
* Progress bars are now nested - see
12196
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
12197
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12199
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
12202
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
12205
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
12207
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
12209
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
12210
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
12211
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
12214
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
12215
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
12217
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
12218
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
12219
check. (Robert Collins)
12221
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
12222
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
12227
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
12228
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
12230
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
12231
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
12232
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
12233
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
12235
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
12236
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
12237
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
12238
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
12239
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
12241
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
12242
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
12243
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
12245
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
12247
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
12248
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
12253
:Released: 2006-01-09
12258
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
12259
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
12261
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
12262
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
12263
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
12266
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
12267
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
12269
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
12270
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
12271
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
12272
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
12273
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
12275
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
12276
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
12277
used. (Robert Collins)
12279
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
12280
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12283
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12284
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12285
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12287
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12290
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12291
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
12296
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
12297
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12299
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12301
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12303
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12304
tree. (Robert Collins)
12306
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12307
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12308
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12311
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12314
* Tweaks to short log printing
12316
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12319
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12320
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12322
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12323
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12325
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12326
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12328
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12329
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12330
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12332
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12333
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12335
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12336
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12339
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12340
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12342
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12343
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12345
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12346
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12348
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12351
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12352
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12354
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12355
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12357
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12358
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
12359
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
12364
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
12366
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12368
* Error when run with -OO
12370
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
12373
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
12375
* Change status to 3 for all errors
12377
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
12378
ignored by diff and status
12380
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
12381
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
12383
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
12385
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
12387
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
12388
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
12390
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
12391
email address. (Marien Zwart)
12393
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
12396
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
12397
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12399
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
12401
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
12402
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
12404
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
12407
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
12408
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
12410
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
12415
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
12416
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
12418
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12420
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12422
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
12424
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
12425
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
12426
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12428
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12430
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
12431
(John Arbash Meinel)
12433
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
12435
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12436
If adding a new test script please add that to
12437
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12439
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12440
imported. (Martin Pool)
12442
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12443
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12444
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12445
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12446
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
12449
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12450
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12451
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12453
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12454
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12455
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12457
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12458
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12459
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
12460
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
12461
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
12464
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
12465
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
12471
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12472
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12474
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12475
function. (Robert Collins)
12477
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12478
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12479
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12481
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12482
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12485
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12486
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12487
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12488
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12489
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12490
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12491
version. (Robert Collins)
12493
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12494
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
12496
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12497
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12498
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12499
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12500
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12501
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
12503
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
12506
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
12516
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
12518
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
12520
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
12523
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
12524
query method. (Robert Collins)
12526
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
12529
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
12532
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
12535
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12536
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12537
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12538
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12540
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12541
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12542
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12543
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12545
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12546
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
12551
:Released: 2005-10-28
12556
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12559
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12563
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12564
a separator, not ':'.
12567
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12568
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12569
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12571
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12572
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12575
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12576
has been added that suppresses all output.
12578
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12581
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12582
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12584
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12585
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12587
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12588
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12590
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12591
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12592
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12593
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12595
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12597
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12598
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12600
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12601
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12603
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12604
output directory, if one was supplied.
12606
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12607
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
12608
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
12609
parameters. (Robert Collins)
12611
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
12613
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
12614
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
12616
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
12617
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
12618
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
12620
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
12621
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
12623
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
12626
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
12628
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
12633
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
12634
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
12635
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
12637
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
12638
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
12639
related questions. (Robert Collins)
12641
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
12642
is given. (Martin Pool)
12644
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
12645
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
12646
file. (Robert Collins)
12648
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
12654
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
12655
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
12656
representation. (Martin Pool).
12658
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
12659
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
12660
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
12662
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12665
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
12666
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
12669
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12670
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
12671
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
12672
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
12673
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
12675
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
12676
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
12677
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
12678
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
12679
python path. (Robert Collins)
12681
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
12682
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
12683
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
12684
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
12686
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
12687
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
12689
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
12690
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
12693
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
12694
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
12695
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
12697
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
12698
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
12699
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
12701
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12702
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12704
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
12705
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
12706
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
12709
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
12710
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
12711
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
12712
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
12715
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
12718
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
12719
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
12722
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
12723
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
12724
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
12726
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
12727
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
12728
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
12730
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
12731
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
12732
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
12734
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12735
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12737
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
12738
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
12739
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
12740
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
12741
caller. (Robert Collins)
12743
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
12744
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
12747
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
12748
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
12751
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
12753
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
12754
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
12759
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
12760
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
12762
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
12763
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
12769
:Released: 2005-10-12
12774
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
12775
allow directories to be listed.
12777
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
12778
upgrading branch format.
12783
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
12789
:Released: 2005-10-11
12794
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
12795
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
12796
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
12797
high-latency connections.
12802
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
12805
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
12806
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
12808
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
12809
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
12810
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
12811
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12813
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
12814
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
12816
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
12817
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
12819
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
12820
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
12821
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12823
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
12824
for files with only a change to their executable status.
12825
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
12828
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
12829
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
12831
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
12832
different partial views of history.
12834
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
12835
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
12840
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
12841
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
12842
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12844
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
12845
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
12848
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
12849
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
12851
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
12854
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
12855
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
12857
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
12858
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
12859
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
12860
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12862
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
12864
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
12865
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
12868
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
12869
Contributed by Robert Collins.
12871
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
12872
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
12873
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
12879
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
12880
for your viewing pleasure.
12882
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
12883
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
12885
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
12886
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
12887
handling of such circumstances.
12889
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
12890
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
12891
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12893
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12895
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12896
we call them revisions not patches.
12898
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12899
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12901
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12902
giving the revision *of that file*.
12904
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
12905
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
12906
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
12911
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
12912
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
12914
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
12915
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
12921
:Released: 2005-09-23
12926
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
12928
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
12931
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
12933
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
12935
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
12936
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12941
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
12942
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
12944
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
12945
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
12946
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
12947
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
12950
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
12951
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12956
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
12958
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
12959
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
12965
:Released: 2005-09-20
12971
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
12972
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
12973
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12974
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
12977
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
12980
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12981
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12982
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12983
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12984
for the operating system is still tried.
12986
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12987
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12988
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
12994
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
12999
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
13001
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
13004
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
13011
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
13013
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

:Released: 2005-09-02
13024
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
13025
help with intelligent shell completion.
13027
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
13033
* Much better merge support.
13035
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
13036
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
13043
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
13044
mention revisions that are not present.
13046
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
13048
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
13050
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
13051
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
13057
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
13059
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
13060
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
13067
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
13068
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
13076
:Released: 2005-08-18
13081
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
13082
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
13084
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
13086
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
13087
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
13089
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
13092
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
13094
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
13097
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
13098
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
13100
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
13101
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
13102
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
13108
* Faster working tree operations.
13114
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
13115
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
13116
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
13117
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
13119
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
13120
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
13121
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
13122
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
13123
standard plugins directory.
13125
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
13126
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
13127
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
13128
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
13130
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
13131
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
13133
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
13136
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
13137
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
13138
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
13140
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
13141
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
13143
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
13144
line options must come before the command name because they
13145
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
13146
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
13149
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
13151
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
13152
is available with ``--short``.
13158
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
13164
:Released: 2005-06-15
13169
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
13170
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13172
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
13173
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
13174
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
13175
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
13177
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
13178
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
13179

now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
13261
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
13262
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
13264
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
13265

under a different version.
